Origin : Cross Breed
The Goldendoodle, also known as a Groodle, is a designer dog created by crossbreeding a Golden Retriever and a Poodle.
Goldendoodle or Groodle Dog Breed
Lifespan: 10-15 years
Goldendoodles come in three sizes
The standard Goldendoodle is a cross between a Golden Retriever and a Standard Poodle. Once this dog became popular, breeders got requests for smaller, more versatile versions of the Goldendoodle. They bred Golden Retrievers with Poodles of different sizes to make the breed more diverse without diluting the desired characteristics and personalities of the dogs. Now Goldendoodles have three sizes:
Miniature Goldendoodle 13-20”, 15-35 lbs
Small Goldendoodle 17 – 20” 40-50 lbs
Large Goldendoodle 20 – 24” 50-90 lbs
Coat: Goldendoodles can have a variety of coat types, including wavy, curly, or straight. They often have low-shedding or hypoallergenic coats, making them popular for allergy sufferers.
Goldendoodles can be considered high maintenance due to their grooming needs and energy levels. Their curly or wavy coats require regular brushing and professional grooming to prevent matting and tangling, particularly if they inherit the poodle’s coat. Additionally, they have high energy levels and require daily exercise and mental stimulation to keep them happy and healthy. Without proper exercise and attention, they may become bored and engage in destructive behaviors.
