The Goldendoodle

The Goldendoodle is a cross-breed of dog that was obtained by breeding a Poodle with a Golden Retriever. The Goldendoodle began being developed during the 1990s in both North America and Australia. The breed was originally being developed to attempt to create a hypoallergenic guide dog suitable for visually impaired people who have an allergy to dog hair. The Goldendoodle has three main coat types: the straight coat, the wavy coat and the curly coat. The straight coat lies flat the Goldendoodle's body and resembles the coat of a Golden Retriever. The wavy coat is the most common coat type is a mixture of the Poodle's curly coat and the Golden Retriever's straight coat. The curly coat resembles the coat found on a standard Poodle. The Goldendoodle's coat can come in a plethora of colorations but will most commonly be: white, cream, gold, red, brown apricot or black. The Goldendoodle has mainly been used as a guide dogs, therapy dogs, search and rescue dogs and diabetic dogs as they have inherited the Golden Retriever's ease of training and the Poodle's relatively high level of intelligence. The temperament of dogs is normally affected by the following factors: individual personality, heredity, training and socialization. It is therefore important to make sure that you meet the puppy's mother before purchasing a Goldendoodle. It is also important to make sure to thoroughly socialize your Goldendoodle with strangers, children and other animals during its puppyhood.
