Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at magnoliastatepoodlesanddoodles@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

We want the adoption experience to work for all parties involved. We are always here (before or after your puppy goes home with you) if you have any training, health, or upbringing questions. We also will provide regular preparation tips to help your family prepare to bring your little one home.  We know that adopting one of our dogs takes more forethought than adopting from the pet store across the street, so we are relying on the fact that you’ve thought this through before committing. 


We will ALWAYS TAKE OUR PUPPIES BACK if you decide you are unable to care for them, but will not refund you unless there has been a breach of contract on our part.


All dogs shed; however, most doodles have hair instead of fur. There are a number of benefits that come with having a dog with hair over a dog that has fur. One major benefit that draws many to consider dog breeds that have hair is the fact that they do shed less. Dogs with fur often shed on a daily basis, leaving bits of their fur everywhere they go. A dog with hair will still shed, but they will shed much, much less frequently than a dog with fur. This is because a dog with hair will have a coat that continuously grows, while a dog with fur will have a coat that only grows to a certain point. You’ll find that this makes it much easier to help your dog maintain good hygiene and smelling fresh. A dog with hair is much easier to groom than a dog with fur! 


Besides their good looks, the doodle is often looked to as a dog that can also be enjoyed by people with allergies. It is often referred to as a “hypoallergenic” breed. This may be somewhat misleading, as there is no real hypoallergenic breed. Dogs can affect an allergic person in three main ways: dander, saliva, and even urine according to The American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology. To reiterate, saying that doodles are hypoallergenic is different then saying they are non-allergenic. It is true that they are less likely to cause allergies, but that does not mean that they would NEVER ever, under any circumstance cause allergies. Someone who makes the claim that any breed is completely non-allergenic is overstating his/her case. 


Doodles come in a variety of sizes, each with its own unique characteristics. This hybrid breed is a mix between a Retriever or Shepherd and a Poodle, resulting in four main sizes: Toy, Miniature, Medium, and Standard Doodles.


The size of a Doodle is determined by the size of its parent breeds, as well as any gender differences that may come into play. Each size has its own unique qualities, making it important to understand the differences so you can choose the perfect Doodle for your family.


  • Toy Doodle Size:: Height: below 14 inches, typically 25 lbs. or less. As the smallest size of Doodles, they are perfect for smaller homes or apartments. In addition to their compact size, they are renowned for their highly affectionate nature and make wonderful snuggle companions.
  • Miniature Doodle Size: Height: over 14 but under 17 inches at wither, typically 26-35 lbs.. Known for their friendly and lovable temperament,, Miniature Doodles make excellent family pets that get along well with children and other animals. Doodles are known to enjoy snuggling with their humans and engaging in various activities, making them a perfect addition to an active family.
  • Medium Doodle Size: Height: over 17 but under 21 inches at wither, typically 36-50 lbs. Medium sized Doodles are a good size, fitting comfortably in average-sized homes. They have a friendly and adaptable nature, making them great family pets. Medium Doodles are trainable and make loving companions for those seeking a versatile and affectionate canine companion.
  • :Standard Doodle Size: Height: over 21 inches at wither, typically 51 or more lbs.. Being large dogs, Standard Doodles will require a spacious backyard for exercise. However, they are renowned for their relaxed nature and often enjoy long naps after playtime. Their affectionate and calm demeanor make them a delightful addition to families with children.


Various factors impact the size of a Doodle, such as the parent breeds’ size, gender differences, and the generation of the doodle, which can be F1, F1B, F2B, or multi-generation.

Additionally, gender variations can also impact the size of a Doodle, with males tending to be about 10% larger than females in terms of height and weight.



  • An F1 Doodle is half Retriever /Shepherd and half Poodle. These maintain a lot of the Retriever/Shepherd qualities and may shed.  
  • An F1b Doodle is the product of an F1 Doodle (see above) bred back to a Poodle, for a higher chance at low/non-shedding puppies. 
  • What about a F2, F3 and all those other number/letter combinations? There are countless Doodle variations these days. For example...when an (F1) doodle + (F1) doodle are bred you get an F2 doodle which simply means that two existing 50/50 hybrids were bred. When two F2 doodles are bred, you get an F3 doodle which simply means that the F3’s parents and grandparents were both doodles.
  • Multigenerational Doodles (commonly called Multigens) is a doodle whose parents are both doodles

Think of an umbilical hernia in a puppy as a protruding belly button on a human, an outie instead of an innie. Hernias happens when the skin heals, but a tiny sliver of the umbilical opening remains unclosed inside the body. Over time this opening may heal on its own. In some instances, the vet may choose to treat the hernia.


If the hernia is very small (less than 1/4" or 1cm), the veterinarian will likely recommend waiting a few months to see if it heals on its own. This is the optimal solution to the problem. Repairing an umbilical hernia in a puppy can wait until the puppy is four to five months of age and ready for spay or neuter surgery. When the vet does the surgery, it is convenient to do the hernia repair at the same time. This is easier on the dog because it only requires being anesthetized one time, rather than undergoing repeated surgeries. It also helps when spaying is planned because scar tissue from umbilical hernia repair could cause problems during the spay surgery..
