Kelly – F1B Mini Goldendoodle

When looking for a trustworthy mini Goldendoodle breeder in Illinois, keep these points in mind:

• Health Screenings and Guarantees: A responsible breeder will perform health checks (hips, elbows, eyes) on parent dogs and offer a written health guarantee for each puppy.

• Early Socialization: Puppies raised in a home environment—exposed to family life, gentle handling, and simple household noises—tend to develop into confident, well-adjusted dogs.

• On-Going Support: Even after you bring your puppy home, a good breeder remains available to answer questions about feeding, training, and general care.

For dedicated care and healthy, well-socialized mini Goldendoodles, reach out to Love Of Puppies. Call us at (217) 853-1491 or visit loveofpuppies.com to learn about our breeding practices and upcoming litters.

Mini Goldendoodles typically grow to:

• Weight: Around 25–35 pounds

• Height: Approximately 15–18 inches at the shoulder

To ensure your Chicago or suburban Illinois home is ready:

• Space Considerations: A cozy apartment can work well if you provide daily walks to nearby dog-friendly parks. In a house with a yard, make sure it’s securely fenced for safe playtime.

• Crate and Bed Size: Plan for a crate or bed that allows the puppy to stand, turn around, and stretch out comfortably.

• Puppy-Proofing: Remove small objects from lower shelves, secure electrical cords, and block off any dangerous areas (e.g., open stairwells).

If you need guidance on predicting your puppy’s adult size and making your home puppy-safe, Love Of Puppies is here to help. Contact us at (217) 853-1491 or message us through loveofpuppies.com/contact to discuss how to prepare for a mini Goldendoodle.

Mini Goldendoodles have curly, low-shedding coats that require consistent care:

• Daily Brushing

  • Use a slicker brush or comb to remove tangles and prevent mats, especially behind the ears and under the armpits.

  • Brushing for just 5–10 minutes each day keeps fur clean and minimizes shedding in your Chicago home.

• Professional Grooming Every 8–10 Weeks

  • Trim hair around eyes and paw pads for comfort and hygiene.

  • A full haircut helps maintain coat health during hot, humid Illinois summers.

• Seasonal Adjustments

  • In winter, monitor for ice or salt accumulation on paws—rinse gently and apply a pet-safe balm.

  • In summer, watch for trap-heat mats near the neck and armpits; a shorter trim can help with Chicago’s humidity.

Mini Goldendoodles are known for their friendly, energetic, and intelligent nature. Typical traits include:

• Affectionate and People-Oriented

  • These dogs often form strong bonds with family members and love spending time together, whether that’s a walk along the Chicago lakefront or a movie night at home.

• Highly Trainable

  • Their eagerness to please and quick learning ability make them excellent candidates for obedience classes—perfect for introducing your puppy to new sights and sounds in a positive way.

• Good with Kids and Other Pets

  • Gentle and patient, mini Goldendoodles adapt well to busy households. Early exposure to family routines and neighborhood walks builds confidence and reduces shyness.

• Moderate Energy Levels

  • A daily 30–40 minute walk combined with indoor playtime (fetch or puzzle toys) usually satisfies their exercise needs.
