Are there any Mini-Goldendoodle breaders in Michigan?

Question

Although our first dog IS a RESCUED dog from the local shelter, I am researching the mini-goldendoodles because of our allergies and my love for goldens, also we can't have larger dogs. My fiancé has asthma and there for we cant have a high shedding dog. Please don't bit my head off, I'm still in the research process and yes, I have rescued dogs in the past and intend on continue to do so.

Answer 1

I am sure there are although I personnally wouldn't pay for a mixed breed, there are way too many dogs in shelters that need good loving homes. and when they dont get one the poor things get Gassed.
I am sure you could find exactly what you want if you took the time to visit those shelters and you would be giving an unfortunate animal a home.

To call these breeders irresponsible is at the very least ELITIST
you tend to hear that from people who would Never buy a purebred.or someone who Only has purebreds.
or someone who thinks that breeding is just wrong. ie (PETA)
in the last case if there were no breeders, there would be no purebreds only shelter dogs and they would runout eventually because shelter dogs MUST be spayed or Neutered.
I certainly agree with spaying and neutering because it prevents the birth of more pound puppies.

All breeds of dogs (well, 99% anyway) were at one time considered a mixed breed. Dogs with certain traits were bred over a period of time to create a specific breed that had specific traits that would breed true to type with every generation. Thats how we got purebred dogs and that is what is behind the current fad of creating Labradoodles, Goldendoodles, Maltypoos etc.
And is why we have the Australian Shepard today. (my personal favorite)
These efforts today were begun because people wanted a dog with the temperament of a Golden Retriever or Lab and the Hypo alergenic properties of a Poodle (although any dog without an undercoat would have served the same purpose) ie. the Maltese.

My Niece has Asthma and could not have a dog around that shed too much. Luckily the family dog was a Poodle. although their temperament is terrible. she still loved having her around.

Please reexamine your reasons for having a dog and consider the possiblity of adopting a shelter dog. If you still must have a Goldendoodle, Look carefully as these particular mix breeds have not been around very long and can be quite expensive.

Good Luck in your search for a loving companion

Answer 2

Goldendoodles are nothing more then a mix, they are not a breed. A samll version is only a cross between a miniature Poodle and a Golden Retriever. Given the size difference there will be no guarantee that a puppy from this type of cross will stay "mini". I'm sure there are breeders in Michigan since there are irresponsible breeders breeding these mixes in every state.Instead of lining the pockets of irresponsible breeders who are delibrately breeding mutts why don't you go to a shelter or rescue and get a Poodle mix?

There is no guarantee that any thing crossed with a Poodle will be low shedding (Poodles shed though minimally). Also as for allergies dander not hair causes allergies. All dogs have dander. Again a cross between anything and a Poodle will not guarantee there will be low dander. As for size a Golden is a large breed and mini Poodle is a small breed when crossed you can get any size from small to large and anything in between."Goldendoodles do not breed true to type so you will get pups that take more from one parent then the other or a bit from both. They also can inherit the worst of both breeds.

Answer 3

breeders in general are irresponsible - not just ones that mix breeds. Last year, alone, there were 25 million unwanted dogs and cats - 25 MILLION. And we are not just talking "mutts" (which are often great dogs), Labs, goldens, poodles, rotts, etc. All in shelters or on death row because we don't know when to stop, because we think we can custom order a life like we custom order any object and because people don't know when to be reasonable when there is money involved.. So, it is NEVER responsible to breed more dogs - and definitely not responsible OR ethical to buy from one that breeds. Go to a rescue or to your local animal control.

Answer 4

they seem to be a mutt. no longer something incorrect with having a mutt, yet once you pay huge money for one from a 'breeder' you're transforming into scammed. no longer in trouble-free terms are they no longer a breed, yet they are bred from unfavourable inventory as no ethical breeder will sell a dogs to somebody to make mutts. in case you decide on a mutt, bypass to a rescue and keep your self the money. in step with risk look at the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling retrevier in case you decide on a small Golden looking dogs. Nanook - "people could be allergic to Golden Retrievers and with the Goldendoodles, particularly the greater moderen generations of domestic dogs are hypoallergenic." Genetics one hundred and one - any Poodle go has a 50/50 risk of inheriting the Poodle coat. it rather is not any longer any distinctive than it replaced into 10 years in the past as they have nevertheless no longer moved previous an F1 breeding! The worst shedder I even have ever seen in 30 years of exhibiting/coaching replaced right into a labradoodle, offered because of the fact he does no longer shed. by using a Vet Tech yet! LOL!

Answer 5

I sure hope not can you imagine the health probelms?? You should NEVER breed a small dog with a large dog!!! I have seen too many badly bred dogs with sever hip, leg and joint problems simply because they have the legs of a small breed and the bodys of a large breed. Thats improper and neglectful breeding! If you want a mix breed go to your local animal shelter and save a life!

Answer 6

Breeders of mutts should not be paid for irresponsible breeding. Visit the shelters and save a life if you want a mixed breed.

Answer 7

If you have allergies and asthma problems why bother getting another dog in the first place?

Answer 8

It sounds like a kid's breakfast cereal. If you want a good dog, visit your pound, Humane Society, etc

Answer 9

I'm from MI. I've never heard of any. I'm sure there are though
