What Is So Special About Goldendoodles?
Goldendoodles have a lot of special qualities that they deserve to be proud of. As a cross-breed between
a golden retriever and a poodle, they have adorable, wavy locks that always seem to be soft to the
touch. Goldendoodles are highly sought-after dog breeds, but it’s not just for their cute looks.
These dogs are incredibly intelligent and loving, eager to please and take part in family activities. You’ll
find that these gentle dogs are much easier to train than other breeds. Because of their calm attitude
and devotion, they are extremely careful with young children, which makes them a popular breed choice
for families.  Learn More

​

The Breed’s Temperament
The highlight of owning a goldendoodle is their happy demeanor. The breed’s temperament is patient
and gentle across the board, making them a fantastic choice for families.
The happy-go-lucky attitude this breed has is most often focused on playtime, where they expend most
of their energy. Both poodles and golden retrievers need a lot of exercise, so it’s no surprise that
goldendoodles need to romp around the yard with lots of attention from the kids, or plenty of outings
with the family. They are most hyper as puppies and tend to become slightly more docile as they age.
Since goldendoodles are always cuddly and affectionate, it’s no surprise that they hardly ever show
aggression, even towards strangers. For this reason, they aren’t often chosen as guard dogs. This is
primarily why they are chosen as house dogs for people who need an extra dash of patience and
unconditional love throughout the day.

​

Are Goldendoodles Good House Dogs?
Goldendoodles are excellent house dogs, thriving on companionship and affection. Keep in mind that
while they are smart and gentle, they also need lots of exercise and space to play. They are a particularly
popular choice for families as they are incredibly patient and gentle around young children.
Because of their well-behaved demeanor, you can leave a goldendoodle alone at home without worry
so long as their needs for activity and affection are met when the family is home.

​

Is a Goldendoodle the Right Breed for You?
Goldendoodles are a great addition to any family, but they are a big responsibility. These dogs need a
healthy and active lifestyle to truly flourish. This makes them a great addition to families who enjoy the

outdoors or really focus on their pets’ needs, otherwise, their playfulness and smarts will show in how
they act out.
Active goldendoodles are happy and well-behaved goldendoodles, which also means they will need
space and a lot of mental stimulation and affection. Take care of them, and they’ll show you
unconditional love for the rest of their life.

If you're considering bringing a Goldendoodle puppy into your family, there are some important things to keep in mind before making your final decision. Goldendoodles are a popular hybrid breed that combines the intelligence and hypoallergenic qualities of Poodles with the friendly and playful nature of Golden Retrievers. Here are seven questions we often hear from people interested in buying a Goldendoodle puppy:

​

1.  Do goldendoodles come in a variety of sizes?

From mini to standard, Goldendoodles come in a range of sizes. Miniature Goldendoodles typically weigh anywhere from 15-30 pounds, the next size up is the standard Goldendoodles which typically weigh up to 90 pounds. Make sure you choose a size that will fit your lifestyle and living space.

​

2.  Do they require regular grooming:

Goldendoodles have a unique coat that is typically curly or wavy, which means they require regular grooming to keep their coat in good condition. Depending on the length of their hair, they may require brushing several times a week and a trim every few months.

​

3.  Do they need lots of exercise?

Goldendoodles are active dogs that require lots of exercises to stay happy and healthy. They love to play and run, so be prepared to take them on long walks, runs, or hikes daily.

 

4.  How are they with kids?

Goldendoodles are known for their friendly and gentle temperament, making them great family dogs. They love to play with children and make great companions for kids.

 

5.  Can they suffer from health issues?

As with all dog breeds, Goldendoodles can suffer from a range of health issues. Some common issues include hip dysplasia, allergies, and ear infections. Before bringing a Goldendoodle puppy home, make sure you have a plan in place to keep them healthy, including regular vet checkups and a healthy diet.

 

6.  Do they shed?

Doodles are a low-shedding breed, but puppies with very flat, straight coats may shed more, similar to Golden Retrievers. Wavy coats shed less and require minimal grooming. Curly coats shed very little but they do require regular brushing to keep them from matting. Breeders can determine coat types early on and coat testing can ensure non-shedding genes are passed down to future generations. Multigenerational litters with more poodle in the mix result in curlier coats and less shedding, with F1b or past third-generation Goldendoodles being ultra low-shedding when bred correctly.

 

7.  Are there still Puppy Mills?

Yes. Goldendoodles are a popular breed, which means they can be expensive to purchase from a reputable breeder. Before purchasing your Goldendoodle make sure you are buying from a reputable breeder. Here at S&L Goldendoodles we make sure to take extra care to make sure our dogs have the best life. We are known for our excellent breeding programs and smooth adoption process.
