Puppy parents

We invest heavily in our parent dogs, and breed for lineage, aesthetics, temperament, and health. Our dogs are all genetically health-tested and OFA-certified for Hips and Elbows or have PennHip testing completed. Our parent dogs are like family members to us. They each have their own personalities, and we enjoy each of them as individual intelligent beings.

Abbi

CKC F1 Goldendoodle

Abbi is the last of our English bloodlines, as she is a standard F1 English Goldendoodle. She was one of our puppies that we raised here at Island Grove Kennels. She is the daughter of our late poodle, George. She comes from champion bloodlines and proves herself to be just as loyal as her dad. She has a more curly coat for an F1 Goldendoodle, so we expect her puppies to have more curl, too. Abbi is very smart! She can open any gate we have on the farm and has caught onto new things quickly. She is a very active girl and loves to explore. She is amazing with children and other dogs. Her favorite thing to do is to swim in the pond and play fetch. Abbi is mom to some of our F1b Mini Goldendoodles and will also have litters of F1b standard Goldendoodles. Her puppies are known to be just as smart as her with her bubbly personality.
