At Okefeild Acres, we have specialized in two distinct types of Goldendoodles. We first began with the classic American Goldendoodle and now focus on the luxurious English Teddybear Goldendoodle. Both are known for their friendly temperaments and low to non-shedding coats, but there are important differences in structure, coat type and lineage.
American Goldendoodles
American Goldendoodles are a cross between an American Golden Retriever and a Poodle. They may also result from further generations such as Goldendoodle X Poodle or Goldendoodle X Goldendoodle. This is the original Goldendoodle that gained popularity in the U.S., known for its athletic build and affectionate nature.
English Teddybear Goldendoodles
English Teddybear Goldendoodles are bred using European English Cream Golden Retrievers and Poodles. this line offers distinct advantages:
A plush, full Teddybear coat
A broader head and shorter muzzle
Heavier bone structure
Softer expression
Typically better overall health
All of our current litters trace back to imported European English Cream Golden Retriever lines for that classic “Teddybear” look.
English Cream Golden Retrievers
The foundation of our English Teddybear Goldendoodles, English Cream Golden Retrievers are bred to European standards and often feature a light cream coat, calm temperament, and excellent body structure. While they can be AKC registered, they excel in International conformation events, such as IABCA.
