Contrary to popular belief, they do still shed.

I know all dogs still shed to an extent.... But from my understanding that is the allure of these breed of dogs is that they are bred to shed a lower amount compared to something like a lab.

Thanks for your input.

Though I am not an expert on goldendoodles, I can't really see them as being much of a hunting dog. My only experience is my brothers, and that dog has not the slightest inclination of hunting ability.

How much hunting do you intend to do with the dog? If it is more than just the occasional outing, then i to would suggest you look into a Pudelpointer. Reason being, I have a hard time seeing someone that is dedicated to breeding field breed goldens, finding someone else, whom is dedicated to breeding field/ hunting poodles, and the two of them getting together and crossing what they are working so hard to preserve. I mean no offense to you whatsoever, and if a goldedoodle is really what you want, then by all means I wish you the best of luck, but if you really plan to hunt with a dog on a regular basis, and want one that does shed less than the average breed, then do look at the Pudelpointer! If you do happen to want more info on them, there are several of us here that own them, and I am sure would be glad to share more info with you.

Mine has one the best off switches of any dog I've ever owned!
If really interested couple things you need to know. First off be ready to expand your search outside of Texas. Second be prepared to wait for a pup to become available, as there are not a lot of breeders nation wide, and demand is extremely high! Third because of the above situation, most breeders are extremely picky on where their pups end up.

http://pudelpointer.net/ Go here and start contacting breeders, as this is where the people whom are dedicated to keeping these dogs what they are, are listed!

If you want more info, I will start a new theard, as not high jack the op theard question, more so than I already have!

Mine is out of Cedarwoods gundogs. Drove to Santa Fe NM to pick him up. Would make the drive again with no hesitation.

No. Bob Farris is in Boise Idaho. Gungirl is in NM and has had two liters. Both out of Atlas. If you go to Cedarwood Gundogs website and look at the breeding stock you can read about Gungirl from Santa Fe. Some really nice bird dogs were produced in those breedings. Bob is one of the good ones and there is a high demand for dogs from his kennel. He strives to put the best with the best, to produce a gundog with attributes that exemplify the breed.

Stohner,

Smokey and I have full siblings, but from separate litters. Gungirl, the mother of our dogs lives in Santa Fe, but all litter information was and is handled through Bob. Here's the thing to remember about PP's, as I said before, demand is extremely high and supply is limited, so patience is the key. I would recommend contacting several breeders, talk to them about what you're looking for, explain your situation, and then be prepared to wait for a pup. Gungirl who is in Santa Fe is not breed, nor will she be ever again, as she has been spayed. Another thing to keep in mind, the breeders on the website I pasted above, get multiple inquiries a day about puppies so a little patience in letting them get back to you will go a long ways as well.

Did you talk to North TX PP?
