We also breed a selection of other selected breeds of which some have been crossed with a toy poodle. We currently breed Groodles, Aussie Doodles, Australian Shepherds or occasionally Moodles.

Depending on the breed of the small dog and cross, will determine the size, weight and characteristics of the potential puppy.

We also breed Golden Retrievers and Groodles (Golden Retriever x Mini or Standard Poodle).

Golden Retrievers

Golden Retrievers are sweet and gentle animals full of energy and zest for life as puppies, but develop into a wonderful, settled temperament when adults which is around 18 months and older. They are highly intelligent and need a couple of brisk walks together with some mental stimulation each day. Golden Retrievers are heavy shedders. Some have a medium length coat that is quite easy to groom where others have lots of feathering which takes a bit more care to avoid tangles. The rule of thumb is to brush on a regular basis so that mats don't develop. On average, their sizes are approximately 52-60cm in height (to wither) and 25-35kgs depending on the size of their parents. Generally, females are smaller than males. Their expected lifespan is around 10-12 years.

Groodles

Groodles (Golden Retriever x Poodle) or 2nd Generation Groodles (Groodle x Poodle) are our big teddy bears. Gorgeous colours and beautiful low-shedding coats can make this breed ideal for allergy sufferers. They are a great family pet that become wonderful companions with every household member, whether human, dog or cat. They have the intelligence of the poodle making them easy to train, but the loving nature of the Golden Retriever shines through, making them gorgeous members of the household who love to be part of everyday life. They do need regular exercise and playtime. Ideal homes would have a backyard so they can play to the maximum, so not necessarily suited to apartment living. They can be Miniature, Medium or Standard in size, which varies depending on Mum and Dad. On average: Standard 52-63cm / 25-45kgs; Medium 45-52cm / 15-22kgs; Miniature 35-45cm / 8-15kgs. This is a guide only and cannot be guaranteed. Their expected lifespan is around 12-15 years.

Aussiedoodle

Aussiedoodles are a cross between an Australian Shepherd and a Poodle. Coats can vary in colour and type — curly, wavy or straight. Some have tighter curls like their Poodle parent while others have wavier coats. As a general rule, although not completely non-shedding, they have minimal hair loss, which does depend on coat type. Approximate size range is between 20-25kgs / 45-50cm, dependent on the size of Mum and Dad. This is a guide only and cannot be guaranteed. They need regular exercise and active play each day. They are very playful, smart and loyal and do best with lots of attention and exercise. They are a friendly and sociable breed with both family and visitors alike, and are very trainable. They make a great family addition to any home.

Poodles (Standard, Mini & Toy)

Poodles are great for allergy sufferers as their coats consist of woolly, curly fur which is non-shedding. They love the water, have great agility and are easy to train due to their high intelligence. We recommend around one hour of exercise per day once fully grown. They are gentle with a playful nature, which makes them ideal for families with children. Their expected lifespan is between 10-15 years.

Standard Poodles are very loyal and create close bonds with their human family, however they can be a little shy with strangers. On average their sizes are approximately 45-61cm and 18-31kgs in weight depending on the size of their parents. This is a guide only and cannot be guaranteed.

Miniature Poodles are approximately 40-45cm and 8-12kgs, depending on parents' heights and weights. This is a guide only and cannot be guaranteed.

The smallest of the three size variations we breed are the Toys. Approximately 3.5-5kgs and 30-35cm in height depending on parents' heights and weights. This is a guide only and cannot be guaranteed.

Shoodle

Shoodles (Shih Tzu x Toy Poodle) are a very happy, playful, loyal and intelligent small breed. They combine the intelligence of a Toy Poodle with the inquisitiveness of the Shih Tzu. They are a small breed with short legs but a solid build, floppy long ears and fur that tends to be more like hair — wavy or straight. Shoodles do not shed, which is ideal for allergy sufferers, and are a low-maintenance breed. They are great little urban dwellers that settle well in an apartment environment. The average size of a Shoodle is 25-30cm in height and 4-7kgs in weight, dependent on the size of the parents. This is an indication only and cannot be guaranteed. Colours can range from Black, Sable or Red. Their expected lifespan is approximately 15 years.
