What’s the difference between Irishdoodles and Goldendoodles?
The Irishdoodles come from Irish Setters and are finer boned. Traditionally Irishsetters were hunting dogs. The Goldendoodles come from Golden Retrievers and are slightly huskier. Expected full grown size is 30-45 for Mini Irish and 25-40 for the Mini Golden. As puppies, they look very similar. We breed our females to a Red Mini Poodle.
Both dogs make great family pets. The pups have daily interaction from birth with our five children. They will come with shots and wormer appropriate for their age.
What will their coat look like? Do they shed?
With the poodle bloodline, doodle puppies are mostly non-shedding. We raise F1 (50% poodle), F1b puppies (75% poodle) and MultiGens (greater then 75% poodle) . Because of minimal shedding, puppies will need grooming several times a year. Some consider them hypoallergenic. Coats do vary in waviness from pup to pup, from curly to wavy to strait.
How big are these puppies?
Although “Minis” these are not tiny dogs, but more medium or mid-sized. Expected adult size for Mini Goldendoodles is 25-40 pounds. For Mini Irishdoodles, 30-45 pounds.
When do I pick up my puppy?
You can pick up your puppy when they reach 8 weeks of age. We are located in Manheim, Pa and prefer personal pick up but can also have a relationship with a puppy transport service. We are also able to work with you to ship your puppy to your location, please contact us for details.

What comes with the purchase of my puppy?
In addition to the Health Guarantee listed below, each puppy comes vet checked, dewormed, vaccinated age-appropriately and with a bag of puppy food that the puppy was weaned on. See our Recommended Resources pages for links to purchase the puppy food we use.
Are you a puppy mill?
No. ASPCA lists a puppy mill as “overcrowded and unsanitary conditions without adequate veterinary care, food, water or socialization.” We take great care to make sure our puppies are well-fed, clean and well socialized. We abide by the rules of Pennsylvania for breeding and selling puppies and are licensed through the state.
Are you an Amish farm family?
No. However, in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, we live among our many plain sect neighbors and ourselves have Mennonite and Amish roots. We are a family of seven and the puppies have daily interaction with kids, so they are very socialized.
