I love the look of labradoodles because they can have hazel, green or copper brown eyes that we do not see in any other breed except for a herding type dog. Does golden doodles have any other colors of eyes besides black? Thanks
Hey, Arlene! We agree that Labradoodles do produce beautiful eyes! Fortunately, we can get brown and hazel eyes with our dogs with brown pigment. We can also see bright blue eyes or 2 different colored eyes with our Merle breedings.
Just for fun I tried to recall my college genetics and worked out on paper the two main loci that affect shedding (SD(sd) and IC(F). I worked out miniature goldendoodle from the F1b generation taking out the one with sd/sd, F/F and crossing that with another F1b with sd/sd, F/F and get (without mutation or crossover) 100% low shedding mini goldendoodles. Wonder how far generations wise this can go. Without mutation or crossover must be essentially unlimited.
Really, really enjoy your videos as they go deeper into the heredity beyond F1,F2 or F1b, F2b and into multi-gen. But could you PLEASE stop the background music as it is VERY annoying as the sound has some echo. Thanks!
A friend has a F3 double doodle ?? I love the look of your adorable pups. I am wondering as the F gets away from 1and 2 are they as hyperallegenic? Quality with disposition etc? Any thoughts?
This depends on the breeds being crossed. And how the genetics shake out. We breed Schnoodles that are allergy-friendly at each generation because both breeds are allergy-friendly. When we cross Goldendoodles, the retriever is not allergy-friendly and in multi gens (F3 and beyond) we can get puppies that are an even mix, heavier to the golden, or heavier to the poodle. It’s a roll of the dice. As far as disposition, as long as parent genetics are consistent and clean this shouldn’t change much from one generation to the next.
Does laid back equate to a less desire to please/less responsive to commands? For example, if I needed a service dog, would I be better off with an F1 or F1b?
Hey, Samiamisme! Correct generation doesn’t necessarily correlate with temperament. But a more laid-back demeanor is typically associated with less stamina. So you could get a laid back/lower energy dog with good tractability ( desire to please) but they wouldn’t be able to work as long as a more energetic dog. A service dog needs a strong desire to please, good focus, and problem-solving abilities. There are other traits that are needed as well but this will vary from puppy to puppy depending on the individual type of service needed. For example, a hearing dog needs to perform very different tasks from a mobility dog. A psychiatric support dog needs to do different things than an autism response dog would.
Here is a link to a video that we recorded showing the differences between service dogs and therapy dogs. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-l5talLY3YXM.html
