Everything you want to know about Goldendoodles
Written by: Longleash Family Breeders

Goldendoodles are quickly becoming one of North America’s most
sought-after breeds.
The first-generation cross between a Golden Retriever and
a Standard Poodle has attracted lots of attention
in the past couple of years and with good reason.
This incredible combination yields a medium/large sized dog
with a friendly, patient temperament and a wavy, low-to-no
shedding coat.
Because of their growing popularity, many breeders cannot
keep up with the high demand and as a result have long waiting
list for their puppies. We also have a waiting list at Longleash
Family Breeders (www.longleash.com), however we feel this
gives us the opportunity to carefully screen our puppies' potential
owners, ensuring our pups are placed in the best possible homes.
Description of Goldendoodles:
It is important that you understand your individual
family's needs and wants when selecting a new canine addition to
your family.
Goldendoodles are a medium/large dog, about the size
of a Standard Poodle. They generally have long wavy coats that
should be trimmed and regularly brushed to avoid painful matting.
Although some Goldendoodles may have curlier coats than others, a
typical coat is full, soft and fleecy. The coat can be cream,
gold, apricot, chocolate or black, even within the same litter.
Goldendoodles may be nonallergenic. Their coat is low to
no-shedding, making them an excellent choice for people who
suffer from allergies. Each litter of pups differs depending on
which genes are passed from the Standard Poodle and Golden
Retriever, so the type of coat and degree of shedding can vary.
However the extent of shedding is significantly less than the
Golden Retriever or other breeds with fur.
Temperament of Goldendoodles
Goldendoodles are very intelligent, friendly, and great with
kids, just like their Standard Poodle and Golden Retriever
parents. They are easy to train, highly social, and by nature are
easy with strangers and other dogs. They love to play, retain the
strong retrieving instincts of the Golden Retriever, and love
fetching sticks, balls, Frisbees, etc. It is important to note
that there exceptions to any rule and so we strongly suggest that
our customers attend Puppy Training classes to learn to work
through situations should difficulties in dominance arise.
Health of Goldendoodles
As a first-generation hybrid breed, Goldendoodles take on the
best traits of both parent breeds. They generally live longer and
have less health problems than either purebred parent line. By
crossing two distinct genetic lines, you virtually eliminate any
of the health problems that come as a result of line breeding.
