SIZES, COLORS, & COATS

The possibilities are endless. We want to match you with the perfect puppy to fit your lifestyle.

Our Teddy Bear English Goldendoodles sizes vary greatly. The size is determined by the Poodle used in the breeding. They range between Extra Small ” Small, Medium/Mini, and Standard. The size of your Doodle will be influenced by the parent lineage. You can expect that your puppy’s size will be an average of the parents’ size. Also, note that the size of the doodle is determined by the height and not by weight.


Following is the current sizing for our beloved Doodle puppies:

Extra-Small "Mini" English Goldendoodles

The World's First Extra-Small Mini Teddy Bear English Goldendoodles were also bred right here at Smeraglia. We do not breed very many Extra-Small "Mini" litters, therefore the waitlist can be a bit longer. Like our Small Goldendoodles, Extra-Small "Mini" litters are a four to five-generation process that has taken approximately 30+ years of planning. These litter sizes are small therefore the spaces are extremely limited.

The normal size for an Extra Small "Mini" English Goldendoodle is approximately 10-13" (from the shoulder to the paw) with no correlation between height and sex of the Small English Goldendoodle.

Weight range tends to be under 12-22 pounds

GOLDENDOODLE COLORS

Our Teddy Bear English Goldendoodles are bred in many different colors and markings and they’re all gorgeous.

English Goldendoodles come in a variety of colors due to the colorations of the parent breeds. The Golden Retriever comes in three recognized colors and the Poodle has seven. English Goldens are primarily cream to blond, but with all the variety of colors in the Poodles there’s no wonder how we get all these beautiful English Goldendoodle puppies.

GOLDENDOODLE COAT TYPES

The Teddy Bear English Goldendoodle should have a Loose-Wavy to Curly coat of about two to three inches in length.

The colors of the Teddy Bear English Goldendoodle’s coat can be Black, Copper, Ultra Cream, Champagne, Gray, Golden, Apricot, Red, Red & White, or Parti. Ultra cream to champagne is our most common coat color. Lighter highlights can often be found on the feathering, and the coat tends to lighten with age. Hair on the tail, body, ears, and legs (legs may be slightly feathered), is usually longer. Hair on the head and muzzle tends to be shorter.

This is the most common coat

Loose-Wavy Coat

It can be produced in any of the Teddy Bear English Goldendoodle generations and is easy to maintain. It will require brushing once a day to every other day in areas that experience heavy friction, such as behind the ears, under the neck, the base of the tail, and underneath the limbs. Full body brushing should be done at least once a week. This coat type in F1, F2, and F2B breedings is usually low to moderate in shedding.

Most common in our F1B and F3 breedings

Curly Coat

English Goldendoodles with curly coats are seen most frequently in our F1B and F3 breedings but can occasionally be produced in other generations. Curly coats can be anywhere from a loose barrel curl to a tight kinky curl, similar to a Poodle. They require daily full-body brushing. Curly coated English Goldendoodles in F1, F2, and F2B generations are considered to be the most non-shedding of these generations.

Coats will change as the puppy matures

Teddy Bear Goldendoodle Coat Changes

Most will grow longer and many will fill out and become very plush and full. As an experienced breeder, we can determine at a very young age what type of coat a puppy will have as an adult:

  • Loose-Wavy coated puppies will not show any signs of “crimping” or curl on the forehead or back at birth
  • Curly coats can be easily identified by the “crimping” or beginning of a curl on the forehead, ears, or back of a newborn puppy.

It is our goal to offer superior, efficient service to all of our clients.

We offer a wide range of payment options for your convenience:


Body

The Teddy Bear English Goldendoodle tend to be stockier in build, they should be athletic, graceful, and square with medium to large boning (depending on the size).  They tend to have a boxier head, soulful round eyes adding to the Teddy Bear appearance they are renowned for.


Height

(To the wither) as to Length (from sternum to point of buttock) should appear square. Shoulders should have good angulation with firm elbows held close to the rib cage. The upright shoulder is a fault. Hindquarters should be of medium angulation with short strong hocks. The top line should remain level with strong loin and level croup. They are a galloping dog, therefore flanks should rise up from a brisket set just below the elbows but should not be excessively deep. Ribs should be well sprung but not barrelled. Overall, they should appear square, balanced, athletic with good muscling.


MOVEMENT

When trotting they should be purposeful, strong, and elastic with good reach and drive, giving the appearance of “going somewhere”. When happy, relaxed, or at play, they will prance and skim the ground lightly. Excessive tightness in the hips will produce a stilted action and is considered a fault.


Tail

Set relatively high and preferred to be carried in a saber, can be carried below the top line or slightly above with a slight curl. Curled possum-type tails are undesirable.


Ears

Set moderately flat against the head. The base should be level with the eye, or close to it. Leather should be of medium thickness and when gently drawn forward should reach the top canine tooth. Ear leather reaching beyond the tip of the nose is considered a fault. Ear canals should be free of excessive hair and not thick or bulbous. When inquisitive and alert, the ear set should rise to the top of the head. Thick/heavy ear leather is a fault.


Eyes

“Slightly” round, large, and expressive. Always offering eye-to-eye contact when engaged in activity with a human. Protruding or sunken eyes are a fault. Watery or tearful eyes are a fault. Dogs with brown pigment can have dark hazel or brown eyes.


EYE COLOR

Eye color should complement and blend with the face color. Black, red, white, cream and apricot usually have brown/black eyes. Most all shades of champagne and chocolate will have hazel eyes. Black pigment dogs usually have dark/brown eyes.


NOSE

Large, square and fleshy. Pigment should be either black or brown (for parti colors it may be freckled). Pigment should be strong.


NECK

The firm well-muscled neck should be moderately long, slightly arched, and flow well into the well-angled shoulders with no appearance of abruptness. The neck should not be coarse nor stumpy and should lend an air of elegance to the dog. A short thick neck is a fault.
