Meet Our Dogs

A Ridge Valley Doradoodle® is a cross between two exceptional  breeds – the Original Cottage Garden Goldador and a Moyen Poodle.  Our goal was to create the perfect Doodle from the two most beloved retriever lines — the Golden and the Lab — keeping the integrity of both through using Goldadors.  Our Doradoodle® will possess the physical and temperamental characteristics of the Goldador but with a low to non-shedding, hypo-allergenic coat.  They are laid-back, highly intelligent puppies who are easily trained –  making great companions as family and service dogs.  

Our Doradoodle® puppies would be considered F1 Doodles.  They will be 50% Goldador and 50% Moyen Poodle.  We chose the Moyen Poodle in keeping with the size and coloring of our Goldador girls.  When mixed with a Poodle, they will have a coat that is considered low to non-shedding with increased hypoallergenic qualities.*   Our Doradoodle® is a great option for someone with allergies or households who prefer a low to non-shedding dog.

As with their parent breeds, Ridge Valley Doradoodles are happiest when integrated into the lives and activities of their families. They are an outstanding choice for first-time dog owners and families with children and will thrive in the homes of singles and retirees as well.  Their loyalty/devotion and intelligence is unparalleled. All of our dogs have exceptional pedigrees and are AKC registered. 

*All dogs shed their coat (even Poodles), however, because they have hair instead of fur there will be minimal to no shedding.  No dog can be claimed to be 100% non-shedding and hypo-allergenic.
