A Double Doodle is a cross between a Goldendoodle and a Labradoodle. By combining the genetics of the Golden Retriever, Labrador Retriever, and Poodle, Double Doodles inherit desirable traits from all three breeds, including intelligence, trainability, loyalty, athleticism, and a people-oriented temperament.
Double Doodles are low-shedding and hypoallergenic making them suitable for families with allergies.
At McKenzie River Doodles, our puppies are F2 (Second Generation) Double Doodles, meaning they are produced from carefully selected Double Doodle parents rather than a first-generation cross. This intentional breeding helps create greater consistency in temperament, intelligence, coat quality, and overall predictability.
An F2 Double Doodle is the offspring of two Double Doodle parents. By continuing to selectively breed dogs that already possess the desirable characteristics we seek, we can strengthen and reinforce those traits across future generations.
One of the advantages of an F2 breeding program is increased consistency in:
While no breeding program can guarantee identical outcomes, F2 generations often provide greater predictability than first-generation crosses.
Double Doodles benefit from the diverse genetics of Golden Retriever, Labrador Retriever and Standard Poodle. This broader genetic foundation can contribute to overall health, vitality, and resilience. Responsible health testing and selective breeding further support the long-term well-being of future generations.
Our breeding goals emphasize traits that are desirable for family companions, therapy dogs, and service dog candidates, including:
By selectively breeding dogs that consistently demonstrate these qualities, we increase the likelihood of producing puppies with strong service and therapy dog potential.
A significant advantage of an F2 program is the ability to evaluate multiple generations of family history. Rather than relying solely on the traits of two parent breeds, breeders can observe how specific characteristics are passed down through generations.
This allows for more informed breeding decisions focused on:
Our F2 Double Doodles are bred to be versatile companions capable of thriving in a variety of environments. Whether serving as a beloved family pet, emotional support companion, therapy dog, or service dog prospect, our goal is to produce dogs that are intelligent, affectionate, confident, and eager to be part of the family.
At McKenzie River Doodles, we specialize in raising exceptional Double Doodles—a carefully bred cross between Goldendoodles and Labradoodles. This combination brings together the best qualities of two of the most sought-after companion breeds, resulting in intelligent, affectionate, highly trainable dogs that excel as family companions, therapy dogs, and service dog candidates.
Double Doodles thrive on human companionship and naturally form strong bonds with their families. They enjoy being involved in daily activities and are happiest when spending time with their people.
Their patient and tolerant nature makes them excellent companions for children and devoted members of the family. They are playful without being overly rough.
Whether your family enjoys hiking, camping, outdoor adventures, or relaxing evenings at home, Double Doodles are versatile dogs that adapt well to many lifestyles.
Most Double Doodles naturally enjoy meeting new people and interacting with other animals, making them ideal companions for active households and community involvement.
Therapy dogs require calm temperaments, emotional intelligence, confidence, and a desire to connect with people. Double Doodles possess many of these qualities naturally.
Double Doodles are highly attuned to human emotions and often respond with comforting behaviors when someone is stressed, anxious, or upset.
When properly socialized and trained, Double Doodles display the calm temperament needed to visit hospitals, nursing homes, schools, counseling centers, and rehabilitation facilities.
Unlike some breeds that prefer independence, Double Doodles generally seek out positive human interaction, making them ideal candidates for therapy work.
Early exposure and socialization help build confident dogs capable of remaining relaxed in unfamiliar settings.
While not every puppy is destined for service work, Double Doodles possess many traits professional trainers look for in service dog prospects. Aina Marie (mom) and Finley Tucker (dad) are medically trained service dogs.
Poodles, Labrador Retrievers, and Golden Retrievers consistently rank among the most intelligent and trainable breeds. This intelligence enables Double Doodles to learn complex tasks and commands efficiently.
Double Doodles are naturally motivated to work with their handlers and generally enjoy learning new skills.
A service dog must remain focused and stable in public environments. Proper breeding, socialization, and training help develop these essential traits. Our puppies carry the genetic traits of their parents who both possess the temperament necessary to be service dogs.
