A Goldendoodle is a mixed-breed dog, crossbred between a Golden Retrieverand a Poodle. Poodle hybrids have become increasingly popular and it is likely that the combination of Golden Retriever and Poodle has been duplicated by breeders in various countries. Goldendoodles are often favored by people who suffer from allergies to hair and/or dander. However, not all Goldendoodles will exhibit the low shedding coat type of the Standard Poodle. They are a hybrid dog, and therefore while most Goldendoodles will shed less than a Golden Retriever, the degree of shedding can vary. While some breeders claim that the Goldendoodle is a hypoallergenic dog, many allergists believe that there is no such thing as a hypoallergenic animal, and there have been no studies to date verifying whether any canine is completely hypoallergenic. Goldendoodles also make excellent bird dogs.
A Goldendoodle's size is generally somewhere between a Standard Poodle and Golden Retriever, and usually ranges from 40 to 60 pounds for females, and 60 to 70 pounds for a male . However, weight in excess of 100 pounds have been reported. Goldendoodles also have different coat types, and can be curly, wavy or straight. Coat colours can also vary, and may be white, blond, tan, cafe, chocolate, red, black, silver, parti-colored, phantom coloured, or a mix, and variety of different colors can come from the same litter. These are lovable, well-mannered, intelligent dogs with a great charm. These dogs are highly intelligent and one of the most trainable breeds. Loyal, confident, sweet and eager to please, the Goldendoodle tends to be a bit calmer than the smaller variety of poodle crosses. Goldendoodles enjoy pleasing their masters, so obedience training can be fun. They need to be with people and dislike being alone. Friendly with everyone, including other dogs, the Goldendoodle has very little, if any, guarding instincts. The Goldendoodle is good with other dogs. This breed needs to be around people to be happy. They can be exuberant and easily distracted. These dogs also love to swim. The Goldendoodle is not a purebred; rather, it is a hybrid: a specific type of mixed-breed dog or crossbreed. As such, it is not accepted for registration by mainstream registries of purebred dogs such as the American Kennel Club or United Kennel Club. Both the Poodle and Golden Retrievers breeds can suffer from hip dysplasia, and an OFA or PennHIP exam is required to check for this problem before dogs are bred. Both breeds can also suffer from a number of inheritable eye disorders, so it's important that a CERF (Canine Eye Registration Foundation) exam is also performed before breeding.
