What colors can this Medium Golden Mountain Doodle litter produce?

This 2026 Medium Golden Mountain Doodle litter from Buddy × Rae is expected to produce Blue Merle, Red Merle, Chocolate Merle, and abstract coats in black, red, and chocolate. Because this pairing is KBky at the K-locus, traditional tri-color and phantom markings are not possible.

Will any of the puppies be tri-color?

No. This pairing is KBky at the K-locus, which means the dominant KB gene suppresses tan points. As a result, this litter will not produce true Bernese-style tri-color or phantom Golden Mountain Doodles.

What size will these Medium Golden Mountain Doodle puppies be as adults?

These Medium Golden Mountain Doodle puppies are expected to mature in the medium range, typically around 35–55 pounds, depending on gender and individual genetics. They are bred to be large enough for outdoor adventures while still being easy to travel with.

What kind of coats and shedding should we expect?

Because this litter is fully furnished and designed for wavy to soft-wavy coats, most puppies will have low to minimal shedding. Coats are typically easy to maintain with regular brushing and professional grooming every 6–8 weeks.

Do you offer training for this 2026 Medium Golden Mountain Doodle litter?

Yes. Families can reserve spots in our Doodle School and Therapy Track programs, which build on our early socialization and imprinting work. Training packages can include crate work, leash foundations, house manners, and confidence-building for busy family and travel lifestyles.

Do you offer transportation or a flight nanny for these puppies?

Stokeshire Designer Doodles offers several transport options, including in-person pickup at our Medford, Wisconsin location and a dedicated flight nanny service to major airports across the United States. We help you plan safe, low-stress travel for your puppy.

Each puppy in this litter will be a blend of:

~66% Poodle (mini + standard)

This mix is designed to balance low shedding and trainability (Poodle) with the gentle, family-minded nature of the Golden and the soulful, loyal presence of the Bernese.

PAST GMD LITTER WITH RAE X RICO

Meet the Parents: Rae (Dam) & Rico (Sire) - PAST LITTER

We are thrilled to announce an upcoming Golden Mountain Doodle litter from Rae (a second-generation Stokeshire Standard F1B Cream Goldendoodle, 60-70 lbs) and Rico (an F1B Bernedoodle, 30 lbs). Rae, with her hidden brown merle coat, is fully furnished, while Rico, a brown tri Bernedoodle, is expected to produce offspring that will be around 40-50 lbs.

Coat Traits:

Color: All puppies will inherit a solid brown coat with brown pigment. Approximately 50% of the litter will inherit the "sp" allele, which means they will have some white areas on their coat, while 25% will have nearly white coats or large patches of white. A 25% chance remains for puppies with minimal white or no white.
Merle Gene: There is a 50% chance the puppies will inherit a merle allele and show a merle pattern or be cryptic merle.
Coat Texture: Expect long, wavy, furnished coats that shed lightly, making these puppies ideal for families with allergies.

Health Profile:

Genetic Health: The litter is predicted to be clear of 14 significant genetic health conditions, including Degenerative Myelopathy (DM), Neonatal Encephalopathy with Seizures (NEWS), and Von Willebrand Disease (vWD).
Carrier Risk: The puppies may inherit one copy of Ichthyosis (ICH1), a recessive condition, meaning there is a 50% chance of the puppies being clear or a 50% chance of being carriers. Similarly, there is a 50% chance of the puppies being clear or carriers for Progressive Retinal Atrophy (prcd).

Genetic Information:

Expected COI: The expected eCOI (coefficient of inbreeding) for this pairing is 3%, indicating a low degree of inbreeding for healthy genetic diversity.

We can’t wait to see these beautiful puppies join the world! If you're interested in learning more or reserving a puppy, please reach out today.
