The Goldendoodle: One of the Designer Dogs

The Goldendoodle is a cross breed obtained by breeding a Golden Retriever with a Poodle. The name was coined in 1992. They are also referred to as a designer dog.

Designer dogs are traced back to the 20th century when breeders began to cross purebred poodles with other purebred breeds to obtain dogs with the poodle's non-shedding coat along with various desirable characteristics from the other breeds.

Goldendoodle were first bred by Monica Dickens in 1969. They became more popular in the 1990's in North America and Australia. Their original purpose was to develop guide dogs for visually impaired individuals with allergies. Poodles are mainly hypoallergenic as their coats do not shed and produce dander. Dander causes allergies in humans. Golden retrievers are considered to be a great family dog. The cross between poodles and golden retrievers obviously was to create a very family friendly dog and one considered to be good as a guide dog with a dog who would not produce allergies.

Not all goldendoodles turns out hypoallergenic and most do have a low to non-shedding coat, yet still exhibits less shedding than most other shedding dogs. Grooming includes regular brushing, occasional bathing and some fur trimming. For best results use the Life's Abundance Pet Grooming Products.

Goldendoodles have three main coat types:

  1. Straight coat is flat and resembles more of a golden retriever coat
  2. Wavy coat is a mixture of a poodle's curls and a golden retriever's straighter coat
  3. Curly coat tends to look more like the poodle coat
  4. Twelve-week old goldendoodle pup
Goldendoodle's size is generally between that of its poodle parent and golden retriever parent. Size range includes standard, medium and miniature (if the poodle parent was miniature):

  • Standard adults weigh between 60 to 100 pounds
  • Medium adults will weigh between 30 and 45 pounds
  • Miniature adults will weigh between 15 and 30 pounds
Common coat colors include:
  • white
  • cream
  • apricot
  • gold
  • red
  • sometimes gray and black alsocalled phantom
  • black 
  • light sandy brown
Established breed associations such as AKC, UKC and CKC do not recognize this hybrid nor any other designer crosses as a breed. Some major kennel clubs do accept registration of crossbreed and mixed-breed dogs for performance events such s agility and obedience. The Continental Kennel Club will accept and grant a pedigree on goldendoodles as long as their parents have registration.

Goldendoodles are generally healthy. Poodles and Golden Retrievers are both susceptible to hip dysplasia, some eye disorders. They inherit ears of the Golden Retrievers that hang and do not allow water to drain making their ears prone to ear infections and yeast infections in the ears from swimming. Start the Goldendoodle puppies out on Life's Abundance Ear cleaner at 12 weeks of age to help eliminate these problems.

These dogs make great domestic pets due to their affection toward families, their friendliness and patience with children and strangers.
