ABOUT THE GOLDENDOODLE BREED

 

The Goldendoodle is a hybrid dog breed resulting from their mixed heritage -Golden Retriever and Poodle.  As such, they exhibit "hybrid vigor", referring to the fact that the first cross between two unrelated purebred lines is healthier and grows better than either parent line.  The puppies take on the best traits of both breeds.  Most live to 14-15 years. They are highly affectionate, gentle and patient.  The Goldendoodle loves to be a full-fledged family member, taking part in all activities in your busy family life.  They are very loyal, love children and are extremely easily trained.  They excel at agility trials.  They enjoy winter activities and playing in the snow, so long as they can come in and warm up with you afterwards!  In the summer, they enjoy the water, often swimming and boating with their families.  As a general rule, they get along well with other pets and animals.  Basically, they love everyone!  They are loyal and with proper reward based training, can be highly obedient.  They love to please their humans!  Harsh corrections could damage their confidence.  They definitely have a playful side and can be mischievous if the mood hits!
