| Welcome to Westwood Labradoodles and Goldendoodles! We are experienced breeders (breeding Labradors for the first time in 1976, breeding Labradoodles since 2003) and pride ourselves on our quality breeding program, as well as the many wonderful professional relationships we have developed with Labradoodle breeders all over the world. There is no greater source of pride than when another great breeder refers a prospective owner! We are a small, home-based breeder of Labradoodles and Goldendoodles located in Columbus, Ohio. We breed Multigeneration Labradoodles from both American and Australian lines, F1B Standard, Medium, Mini Labradoodles, and Multigeneration Mini Labradoodles (Lapdoodles). We also breed F1B mini Goldendoodles. Information on planned litters of Labradoodles and Goldendoodles is here. We also take pride in the ongoing relationships we develop with those that purchase our Labradoodle and Goldendoodle puppies. We check in regularly with our puppy's families for the first year to make sure all is going well and to answer questions, and we enjoy receiving regular emails and letters with pictures and updates. You can read letters from owners of Westwood Labradoodle puppies here. Our Doodle puppies are lovingly raised in our central Ohio home with our 2 children and various animal friends. Our dogs are first and foremost our family pets. Just ask the kids! Our Labradoodle and Goldendoodle puppies all come with a 26 month health guarantee. FAQ About Labradoodles and Goldendoodles 1. Are Labradoodles and Goldendoodles really non-shedding? Sometimes. These are hybrids, and the shedding varies by generation and by specific dog. In general, the likelihood of shedding is lower in the F1B and multigeneration dogs. Many dogs in those generations are extremely low to non-shedding. 2. Do Labradoodles and Goldendoodles need much grooming? This also varies by generation and coat type. F1 Labradoodles with the more 'labby' (hair) coats, like our Cider, require almost no grooming at all. F1 Doodles with the fleecier coats, or F1B and multigeneration doodles require brushing frequently, ranging from every other day to once a week. They also need to have their coats trimmed or thinned every month or every other month. 3. Labby coat, fleecy coat, how do I decide what I want? A labby (hair) coat is very low maintenance as far as brushing and grooming time. They do, however, usually shed some. The fleecier coats are OFTEN (not always) lower shedding, but require more grooming time to avoid matting. So you have to decide where you want to spend your money or time, cleaning hair from your home and clothing, or grooming your dog. If you get a dog you WILL spend money and time, there's no "free lunch"! 4. Are Doodles really hypoallergenic? Sometimes. Dog allergies can be to dog hair/dander, or they can be to dog saliva. If the allergy is to saliva the breed of dog doesn't make any difference. With hair/dander allergies, the F1B and multigen labradoodles are more likely to be allergy-friendly than the F1 Labradoodles. F1 Goldendoodles are more often allergy-friendly than F1 Labradoodles.` 5. How important is health-testing of a puppy's parents? This is a very personal choice. Many puppies from non-tested parents will never have a problem. However, we do know that there are health problems of genetic origin (click on our Genetics/Health Testing button for more on this) that Labradors, Golden Retrievers, and Poodles all share. They can and do occur in Doodles, and in some cases can be very expensive and emotionally devastating. Testing doesn't guarantee the problems will not occur, but it increases the chances your puppy will be healthy. However, breeders who health-test often charge more for their puppies and often have waiting lists. Everyone has to balance for themselves the expense and time of a puppy from health-tested parents vs the expense and time of a dog with a significant health problem. |
