There Is A Goldendoodle Breeder Near You

By Teri Farley


The eager to please, loyal, loving, intelligent and engaging personality of the Poodle and Golden Retriever hybrid has won the hearts of its owners. The number of Groodle breeders has expanded as their popularity has expanded. It is amazing how quickly demand for this hybrid has arisen. As a result locating a goldendoodle breeder is no longer an arduous task. Most puppies at the moment are being bred from a parent in a standard size.

The success of the Labradoodle as an allergy friendly, light to nonshedding dog inspired a number of smaller mixes. This new hybrid was first bred in the 1990s in North America and Australia to provide a larger version for pet lovers. Their popularity expanded quickly as the hybrids became known for possessing the wonderful temperament of the Golden Retriever without its coat shedding trait.

This Retriever breed is appreciated for the sweet and loyal personality that makes it an ideal family pet. Its intelligence lends itself to being easily instructed. Once past the stage of puppyhood, its temperament is not excitable as a norm. The Poodle breed is also recognized for its keen intelligence. The Golden Poo has a water dog and hunting ancestry from both parent breeds. Its coat may range from a shaggy to a relaxed curl. A mix between the two contrasts is more common.

This playful dog requires early training. If the training begins early, the puppy is trained easily. But as the Golden Retriever requires to be shown who is the leader of the pack so also does its progeny. An owner will need to provide firm and consistent guidance. A moderate level of exercise is required. According to owner endorsement this pet plays well with others as it enjoys interactions with other canines and people.

This dog loves to do tricks and will catch on very quickly. Some training should be incorporated in daily routine. Patience and treats for good behavior will be rewarded. Kennel training the puppy may help in house breaking it more quickly. It could also help curb destructive puppy behaviors. After the puppy is trained the kennel will not be needed anymore.

With the poodle hair regular grooming is requirement. Otherwise, the coat will become knotted without maintenance. Daily brushing and regular bathing is suggested. Shaving the coat will keep the animal cool in the summer heat. The coat length can range from 4 to 8 inches. Its shade varies between gold, apricot, cream, gray, black, chocolate, phantom or a parti hue.

Breeders have so far bred mostly First generation crosses. These retain strong hybrid vigor. This means the first generation is a healthier offspring than its parental breeds. With further breeding this vigor tends to recede.

Some breeders have breed first cross Goldendoodles to poodles to produce puppies with an even more allergy friendly coat. First generation hybrids may not have the characteristics of the Poodle coat. There are breeding programs developing a multi generational product. The hope is to have it recognized some day as an individual breed. Miniatures are now being bred as well. Dr. Kate Schoeffel, an Australian, introduced the miniature to North American breeders in 1999. Look around and you will find a goldendoodle breeder available to provide exactly what you are looking for.
