Meet Zachary Alderman

About the Breeder My name is Zach, and I grew up in Erie PA. I am an engineer by day, gamer by night, and dog dad 24/7! My parents bred Shih-Tzu puppies when I was growing up, which was an incredible experience that I wanted to continue with Xena and Apollo. I treat both of my pups like they are my children and would do absolutely anything in the world for them. I would like their puppies to be adopted by families with the same mentality! I breed and support these puppies in my home in the Fairview Park suburb of Cleveland Ohio. I have a fenced in backyard and a puppy play area outside that is shaded. The puppies were born and raised in one of the spare bedrooms in my home that is well ventilated and temperature controlled. They are one bedroom away from me so I can always jump up if they are hungry or the linens need changing. These puppies have been weighed every single morning and night as well as fed on a regular schedule. I am doing my best to give adopters a wonderful, family born puppy, from healthy and loving parents! All photo's of the puppies enclosures were taken within 1 week of posting. About the Breed & Puppies Goldendoodles are becoming a household breed name due to their hypoallergenic and non-shedding characteristics! These puppies are classified as F2b Goldendoodles, or more commonly named “Double Doodles.” Their DNA is 62.5% Poodle & 37.5% Golden Retriever, which has been tested and the results analysis is available further down in the ad & included in photos above. These 3rd Generation Goldendoodles are often seen as the curly coat Goldendoodles. This is Xena's first litter of puppies, and I am only expecting to breed her a max of 3 times. About the Parents Xena and Apollo are polar opposites in terms of personality and behavior traits, which make them the perfect parents to give their puppies the best of both worlds! Both pups are registered with the CKC and their puppies will be pre-registered as well, which can be completed or not by the adopter. Xena 4 years old Birthday - 3/23/18 46 lbs Apollo 1.5 years old Birthday - 8/22/20 52 lbs Xena is extremely intelligent and has learned tons of tricks…I always say she is too smart for her own good because she likes to play tricks on Apollo and I to sneak extra treats! She has learned her left from her right and how to pull me on my skateboard around town! Check out their Instagram with videos of us riding around. She is high energy and loves to run and play fetch. Even with all of the energy she is very sweet and gentle with everyone including children and babies. Apollo is my sensitive sunflower child. All he wants to do is cuddle on the couch and enjoy spending time with everyone. He is a bit of a scaredy cat and hesitant to try new things sometimes. But once he is out of the house, he is the life of the patio bar! He enjoys playing “fetch” but doesn't quite get the concept of bringing it back…he would prefer to trot around with the ball while you chase him! He isn’t too much of a runner, but loves walking. He is the perfect walking dog because he stays right at your side. Xena and Apollo DNA Information Both pups' were DNA tested to ensure absolute security and peace of mind for buyers. The results were performed by a DNA Wisdom Panel given at their veterinarian’s office. The DNA panel also checks for 150 different genetic mutations that could cause health issues, which both dogs have been 100% cleared on. - These reports can be emailed in PDF format before deposit.
