About Goldendoodles
​
WHAT’S MAKES US UNIQUE ?
​
ADIOS ALLERGIES
​
​Goodbye allergies! Goldendoodles are low-dander and non to extremely light shedders, a great match for people with allergies. Did you know we can now genetically test to assure our puppies have both furnishing genes? This is the gene from the poodle responsible for the non-shedding, hypoallergenic qualities, and one reason we love getting past the F1 generation, so we can assure each Goldendoodle is exactly like the poodle in this regard.
SUPER SMART
​
The Poodle and Golden Retriever ancestors score in the top four of the150 smartest dog breeds. We are easy to train and great for the first-time dog owner. At Beechwood, we have even sold pups to be trained to detect blood sugar levels.
​
FABULOUS FOR FAMILIES
​
Goldendoodles are excellent family dogs and versatile working dogs—guide dogs, service dogs, and therapy dogs. They are affectionate and gentle and highly social. We can thrive in a country setting or enjoy city life. Goldendoodles have an average energy level and love space to run and play, ideally 20-30 minutes a day.
​
NO BARK, NO BITE
Goldendoodles will love you to bits and are not watch dogs, other than letting you know you have a visitor. And because your pup won’t be taking a "bite out of crime," we get along well with everyone, including children, other dogs, and family pets.
SELECTIONS OF SIZES​
​
There is a size for everyone, from a colossal floofy bear to a petite and downy teddy. But don't be fooled by the petites and minis. They are just as athletic and highly adaptable to rigorous outdoor sports as are their larger counterparts. Whether hiking, agility sport, frisbee, or training for a marathon, you've got a buddy in any size, and, of course, a cuddle buddy afterwards.

COATS AND COLORS
Beechwood Goldendoodles breeds multigeneration Goldendoodles, so we have the flexibility genetically to produce various degrees of that hallmark shaggy look--from straight to wavy to curly. None of our Goldendoodles have a flat Golden Retriever coat.
Their beautiful coats do require weekly or biweekly brushing and regular hair clipping every few months. We strive to provide a spectrum of coat colors and patterns in our program, including red, apricot, blonde, cream, chocolate, black and tricolor and in solid, abstract or parti. ​
​
DESIGNER DOGS
​
​Goldendoodles are a mix of Golden Retriever and Poodle. Why is this significant? Because it's a healthier choice. Hybrid designer dogs often exhibit greater genetic diversity compared to purebred dogs, which can lead to improved health. Purebreds are often prone to hereditary conditions due to their limited gene pool, resulting in increased risks for diseases like hip dysplasia and certain cancers. In contrast, hybrids typically benefit from "hybrid vigor," a phenomenon where mixed-breed animals show enhanced resilience and fewer genetic disorders. This diversity can contribute to a stronger immune system and longer lifespan. Additionally, many hybrid breeds are intentionally created to combine desirable traits, leading to healthier, more adaptable fur babies.

GOLDENDOODLE ASSOCIATION OF NORTH AMERICA--GANA
​
At the end of the day, not every Goldendoodle is equal. GANA, or the Goldendoodle Association of America is key to our program at Beechwood. GANA promotes healthy, thriving Goldendoodles through ethical breeding, health standards, and continuing education. Each year, Beechwood Goldendoodles participates in these conferences to increase our knowledge and improve our program. Each of our dogs meet their highest Gold Standard Level. Check this out here.
