Need User's Opinions - Is Leia a Goldendoodle?

[Kristoffer Karlson]

Hi everyone!

We got the pictured dog a couple weeks ago from a woman nearby who claimed she is a F1 Mini Goldendoodle. She received this pup as "compensation" because her mother's Golden Retriever was used for the pregnancy. She didn't have any paperwork, but she did send pictures of the parents. Unfortunately there's really no way to confirm authenticity and I think that was done on purpose since it's technically "hobby breeding". The dad (she claims) is a 10 pound toy poodle that was darker brown, and the mom is a red, flat & straight coat Golden Retriever. 

She did provide a signed contract with all of her info on it where she writes in that the pup is a Goldendoodle, but when I look at her, I just don't see many tell-tale Doodle identifiers. She has some good fluff to her, but I can't get over the ears. They're not long and floppy, they're shorter and have perk. I know all Doodles are different, so I'm hoping there are some really knowledgeable users here that can help me out. We love her, so at this point, we don't really care whether she is or not. It would be nice to know since I paid for a Goldendoodle (though she wasn't too expensive). 

I can't imagine this woman would put herself in a legal predicament by providing a signed contract stating she's a Goldendoodle.

Anyways, thank you very much in advance for your opinions!

I can't tell you whether she is or isn't a Goldendoodle. I can only tell you that the size and shape of her ears looks just like my Daphne when she was a pup. She is an F1b mini goldendoodle. She still has very tiny ears and her Mother's ears are very long I think it comes from the poodle side.

If you go to this link and scroll down, there are two that look very similar to this girl.

Hope it's ok to post it as I have no affiliation.

I believe the two photos you're referring to are both of the same puppy. But at any rate, the only real similarity is the coloring. In both of those photos, you can clearly see the "chrysanthemum" of fur around the nose, which are the beginnings of the facial furnishings. The ears are also longer, but more importantly, they are set much lower on the head; it's not just the size, shape and length of the ears, it's where they're set on the skull.

Good catch. I didn't realize it was the same pup as I only briefly looked.

Here are the breed standards for ears on both Poodles and Goldens:

Poodles: Ears - hanging close to the head, set at or slightly below eye level. The ear leather is long, wide and thickly feathered; however, the ear fringe should not be of excessive length.

Goldens: Ears rather short with front edge attached well behind and just above the eye and falling close to cheek.

Wow, quite a few responses here - thank you all for your time in sharing your opinion. While there's really no way to say with absolute certainty that she isn't some form of Goldendoodle since this whole thing is pretty subjective, I believe there is enough of a consensus to suggest that it is highly unlikely she is, and I tend to agree. We will love her all the same. At the very least, I know my boy (in my profile picture) is 100% standard F1B, so I am happy to at least have the one :)

I have no idea about her lineage, but just wanted to saw how adorable she is. So cute!!!

She is super adorable! I would say that she's not a goldendoodle. I agree with Adina, she looks like a border collie mix. Leia is the sweetest name!

Beautiful sweet puppy!
