All About Us........
This is a family owned and operated business of fifty years, twenty of which I have run it alone.
We are proud of our reputation and look forward to many more years of doing what we love! All of our breeding dogs have been genetically tested. Genetic testing in dogs gives us insight to conditions like Muscular Dystrophy, which sometimes is found in Golden Retrievers or Glaucoma, which is found in poodles. Having this insight and knowledge allows us to deter breeding, if the female or male shows this in their genetic panel. Then, when we breed the clear panel parents, the puppies are cleared under the parents. Our underlying goal is to improve the breed. Breeding is not about the numbers for Sugarshack Doodles! Raising puppies is a full-time job. People many times do not realize the financial cost of having a litter of puppies. Genetic screening, health tests before breeding, extra food, supplies, medical care involved in whelping a litter adds up quickly. It is important to us to listen to our buyers and make sure that the dog we have is a correct fit for the buyer.
We know our genetics! This is the simple basic step that any reputable breeder should have PRIOR to breeding. Everything about your puppies' health, should be based on the basis of the understanding of how the animal's genes All of our family employees have some degree of medical and/or veterinarian experience. We have male and female dogs on site and breed only to our own dogs. We do not stud out our males. We retire our females at about four or five years and find them guardian homes; mostly to our friends and family. You'll NEVER find one of our dogs in a shelter, as they ALWAYS have a home with us..
Our pups have a life expectance of approximately 13-15 years. Many of our dogs are currently with us and are 18 years old. We do believe that good genetics and excellent health are essential BEFORE the pups enter into our breeding program. A "fair" result on a hip will disqualify a dog from entering into our breeding program. We are thankful that we have never had a FAIR on any of our OFA results. All of our dogs have good/excellent hips and clear eyes.
We have our dogs in our home and in our own backyard of seven acres. We do not go to dog parks or walk in unknown territory. Our puppies are sold to buyers with full disclosures and are up to date on shots and wormings. After the pups go home at 8-9 weeks of age, we still offer at cost immunizations and wormings (should this be needed). Before they leave, we review all of their vaccinations and immunizations and offer microchipping. We do ask that your dog be spayed or neutered at seven to nine months of age and that the females do not go through a heat cycle. We ask you sign a no-breed contract.
Many of us are groomers and will provide grooming services to you after you take your puppy home. Our fees are reasonable, and they are donated to local charities such as American Cancer Society, Food Pantries in the area and Animal Shelters! We try to make the transition of bringing a new little pet into your home an easy one. We go through all of the items that we think you will need and then of course, if there are any extra items we will recommend those as well. The puppy package includes a blanket with the scent of mom. We are always available for questions, no matter which location you purchase your puppy from.
There is an out of state delivery fee which ranges between 400 - 500.00. We do not hire flight nannies or trust a car delivery service with our puppies, this is our choice. We deliver our puppies to the airport closest to you and even to your home, if requested! We will meet you at Tampa or Orlando Airports. We were present during the birthing process and will stand right by our puppies until they are in your loving arms.
F1b Goldendoodle puppies
What size and type of doodle will fit your style?
Doodles in General
Doodles come in many sizes and generations! In a few sentences there is the first generation, which is the standard golden retriever and poodle This will produce the F1, or first generation. This F1 bred back to a poodle will give you an F1b. If you breed an F1 to an F1, you will get a second generation. A second generation, F2, bred back to poodle will give you an F2b. A multigenerational doodle is one that has been bred Goldendoodle to Goldendoodle for more than three generations. This, we call an F3.
Sizes
Sugarshack Doodles breeds micro mini, mini and petite, as well as small standard doodles. We breed doodles that are 10 pounds and under, 10-20, 20-30 and then you will see our 40 pound pups and of course, we do have an over 40 size, generally under 55 pounds. We breed double doodles and this includes our sheepadoodles. Our sheepadoodles are minis, this is 35-45 pounds.
Coat types
It is very important to know that dog coats vary on doodles, to study the genetics of each dog and know what your end result will be. People that are looking for an exceptionally curly doodle need to know that it is probably an F1bb or three parts poodle. As a breeder, I use my knowledge as well as Embark and other genetic results when making the decision of which male to use. A good breeder will not only get the testing done on their dogs, but be able to understand and utilize this information. I personally prefer the wavy coats and not the excessive curl. Therefore, I breed for a wavy coat to a minimal curl.
Personalities
Personality varies from dog to dog. If we see any abnormal or minimally aggressive personalities in our dogs, they are not eligible for our breeding program. This is an unacceptable trait and typically not only is the pup disqualified, but the parents are as well. Even though the parents may not have ever exhibited aggression, that fact that this trait was dominant in the puppies is indicative that both parents carried recessive genes for this trait to be dominant in the puppy. Although we have never seen this in our breeding program, it is something that should be discussed and disclosed. I do not believe that an aggressive pup should be sold. Our puppies are started out on early neurological stimulation (ENS) from birth until the time they are ready to go home. A lot of one on one time is spent on our puppies, including puppy pad training, crate training, puppy bed training all during a time during which mom is teaching them independence from nursing and encouraging them to eat dry dog food.
Some of our Doodles
Stormy is a multigenerational Goldendoodle with a gorgeous fleece coat. She has a beautiful loose curl. We bred Stormy to Flash and she delivered 5 pups on March 2, 2024. These puppies will be 30-45 pounds at maturity. 1 male and 1 female available currently.
Lola is a 23 pound tuxedo red Goldendoodle, who we bred to Yogi, our English mini Goldendoodle of 22 pounds. These will not exceed the 25 pound mark. This pair makes gorgeous pups, with dark deep colors that do not fade! Lola pups have been sold another litter will in the FALL.
Gloria is a 25 pound mini Goldendoodle who we bred to Yogi, a Mini Goldendoodle. Gloria delivered six puppies on May 3, 2024 with a go home date in July, 2024.
Sandy K is a Sheepadoodle that is black and white, with a few strands of gray and hazel colored eyes. He is 60 pounds. His parents were an Old English Sheepdog (OES) and a parti colored poodle. Since, hereditary issues run in OES and poodles, he went through a series of tests, eye examinations and hips which were sent off to OFA for a grade. His tests, Embark, genetic panels, eyes and hips are all excellent.
Randi Lyn is an Old English Sheepdog (OES) and a mini apricot moyen poodle. She is about 35 pounds, her coat is gorgeous gray and white. Again, with OES and poodles carrying and prone to health issues, she was fully tested and is an excellent healthy Sheepadoodle. She is a beauty with her stunning personality, so loving and tender.
Scooter is a 12 pound miniature Goldendodle. Both of her parents were multigenerational goldendoodles. She is fun loving and enjoys the active lifestyle. Always up for a good game of tug -o- war with another dog, no matter what size. She is the life of the party and always looks like she is smiling. Scooter has a beautiful coat of wavy curls. She will be bred with Yogi in 6/6/24.
What does your puppy come home with?
We automatically administer three de-worming doses. How do the puppies get worms, you may ask. Sometimes the mommy dog will have worms from being outside and pass the worms in utero or through her milk. So, therefore we worm both mom and pups three times. We give their first vaccine, 5:1 at six weeks of age. We offer, if you live locally, to give the second and third 5:1 shots as well, and charge what we pay for the injection. Microchipping is done as a courtesy to you, upon your request, at a minimal cost. Microchipping helps you to find your puppy should he/she ever get misplaced or lost. Your puppy can be scanned, and your information will pop up on a police officers scanner, or in a veterinarian office showing the information which you have registered. We provide you with NuVet.com information, this is a probiotic which we start your puppy on at five weeks of age. It is very important that you continue this probiotic for your puppy and their lifetime! We send you a link for their food, which gives you ample time to purchase this food and to be prepared for their homecoming!
