At Rosewood Kennel
we are devoted to raising beautiful, healthy, affectionate puppies and making
them available to responsible dog lovers. The pups are raised in a loving
family environment and are fully socialized. We provide plenty of room for
our dogs and puppies to romp and interact with them on a daily basis.
We begin weaning our puppies from their mother at 6 to 7 weeks of age, the
puppies are generally available for adoption about two to three weeks later.
It is at this time we begin the task of matching the personality traits to
those wanting a puppy. The temperament of the males and females is basically
the same. Neither sex is harder to house train, and both are equally intelligent
and affectionate. Having had females all my life I was reluctant to accept
a male when we were looking for our goldendoodle. Fortunately, we decided
to take the only available puppy in the litter, a male, and we fell instantly
in love. Now I have 2 male goldendoodles of my own and adore them. They are
affectionate and loyal.
Our adult dogs are genetically tested for all major defects. Hips, Hearts,
and Eyes. Additionally, the Poodles have also been tested for Sebaceous Adenitis
(a genetic skin disorder) and Von Willibrand (a genetic bleeding disorder)
and have been cleared for these diseases as well. It is our hope that by our
aggressive testing of our breeding dogs,
you will never have to know the pain
of losing your puppy to one of these heartbreaking diseases.
The early "health" of our puppies
is also a major concern to us.
We follow a vigorous vaccination and de-worming program. By giving our puppies
a good start we have every hope that they will continue to have excellent
health and vitality as they mature into adult dogs.
Adult weights of our standards are typically in the range from 45 to
60 pounds, with a few being smaller and a few heavier. Obviously, many
factors including diet and exercise can influence growth and development and
we cannot forecast, or guarantee adult sizes.
Adult weight of our miniatures
typically range from 25-40 pounds, depending on what size poodle is used.
Toys will produce slightly smaller puppies than miniature poodles.
We also produce medium minis that
typically range from 35-45 pounds, depending on the female standard poodle
we use.
New this spring we are breeding
mini English teddy bears. While we are not certain of the adult weights our
best guess will be that they will be in the 45-55 pound range.
Adult weight of our English teddy
bears typically range from 55-75 pounds.
Our puppies come in a variety of colors including:
blond, black,
cafe au lait, chocolate, cream and, on a rare occasion, silver or red. Grooming
requirements are minimal on Doodles. Many owners trim their dogs themselves
occasionally just to keep them looking neat and clean. Since they love water,
bathing them is not a chore! The great thing about Doodles, whether low shed
or non-shed, seem in most instances fully compatible with allergy sufferers.
