Miniature Goldendoodle Sandy Ridge

Sandy Ridge Miniature Goldendoodles

Miniature Goldendoodle Sandy Ridge is located in Southeast Iowa, in the beautiful Mississippi River Valley. Our miniature goldendoodle puppies are raised to be the best pet for their new owners and come well socialized. These mini goldendoodles get lots of attention from a large family and are raised in a relaxed rural setting.

Health Guarantee

Our miniature goldendoodle puppies for sale are intended to be in perfect health to the best of our knowledge. They come with a 7 day health guarantee and a 2 year genetic guarantee. Each puppy receives a physical examination by our licensed veterinarian for illnesses and genetic defects, and we require the new owners to visit their vet within the first week.

We never want any of our mini goldendoodles to have to go through any physical pain, especially that which is caused by careless breeding of unhealthy dogs or the mistreatment of the puppy. Health of a puppy is our first concern, followed by the temperament which is explained below in the Training section.

Our F1 Miniature Goldendoodle Puppies

We raise Miniature Goldendoodles. Our F1 goldendoodles are first generation, a cross between a Golden Retriever and a Miniature Poodle. The first generation goldendoodles have a hybrid vigor common to first generation crosses. Hybrid miniature goldendoodles are less susceptible to common illnesses that are common to purebreds and are generally more allergy friendly than the retrievers. Most mini goldendoodles shed little and all are very intelligent. The type of coat on each of our mini goldendoodle puppies ranges from slightly wavy to extremely curly.

Our F1b Miniature Goldendoodle Puppies

Our F1b Miniature Goldendoodles are a first generation backcross, a cross between a F1 Miniature Goldendoodle and a Miniature Poodle. The F1b Miniature Goldendoodles have many of the same characteristics of the F1 Mini Goldendoodles, but tend to be slightly more allergy friendly, even less shedding than the low shedding F1's, and consistently smaller in size (estimated 20-30 lbs).

Miniature Doodles

We started out breeding the standard Labradoodle and Goldendoodle breeds, but we now specialize in Miniature Goldendoodles. Miniature, also known as mini, goldendoodles have become increasingly popular because they retain the same doodle temperaments and coat qualities only in a little smaller package. These mini goldendoodles and make ideal pets for families looking for a mid-sized dog.

We have had a number of miniature goldendoodle litters without the health problems that many breeders like to warn pet seekers of. As far as we know, there has been no proven health or genetic issues differing from standard breeding except that of irresponsible breeding of unhealthy Golden retriever adults with unhealthy miniature poodles. Miniature Goldendoodle Sandy Ridge is committed to maintaining healthy breeders and producing healthy puppies.

Training

One of the greatest qualities of miniature goldendoodles is their ability to be easily trained. This results from their natural affection and desire to please. Despite this, training is one of the most important aspects of a goldendoodle puppy's life.

Temperament: When a puppy is first born, it requires most of its attention from its mother. By the time a mini goldendoodle reaches 4 weeks old, they become quite playful. It is at this age that we begin playing with and socializing each one individually. Socialization is the most important training a goldendoodle or labradoodle can have between 8 and 12 weeks old. This is where miniature goldendoodles develop their temperaments that will stay with them for the rest of their dog life.

Obedience: Starting from 8-12 weeks old, miniature goldendoodles should begin obedience training, whether with a professional, or at home. It is here a mini goldendoodle will learn which types of behavior are accepted and which are not. It is essential that miniature golden doodles learn who is the boss, yet the owner must treat a puppy with respect and care to achieve the best results for temperament and obedience. Potty training is also a type of obedience training. You must create a schedule or perform a certain activity to get the puppy accustomed to its potty routine. Other simple obedience training areas that must be addressed include: nipping, jumping, digging, chewing, and yard boundaries.
