What are Goldendoodles?
A Goldendoodle is a cross between a golden retriever and a poodle. The two breeds were chosen carefully to complement one another. The poodle was chosen for its curly, hypoallergenic coat and the golden retriever for its pleasant disposition and a strong sense of loyalty. Both are highly intelligent breeds, ranking in the top 5 of the most intelligent dogs. Therefore, you’ll be getting much more than just a dog, but a new family member for life.

Goldendoodle Qualities and Health Expectancy
It is important to keep in mind that every dog is different, but understanding general qualities and health expectations can help you to make the best decision where your lovable companion is concerned. This is why we require health testing for each of our parent dogs to avoid potential health complications.
Personality
Goldendoodles take on the best traits of both breeds. The cross between these two parent breeds make terrific family dogs. They are friendly, intelligent, affectionate, and easy to train. They are devoted to their family and friendly towards children, other dogs, and pets, and are easy with strangers.
Goldendoodle dogs are social dogs and are happiest when they are with their family. Goldendoodle puppies are likely to get into mischief and develop behavioral problems if they spend most of their lives alone, due to their high levels of intelligence. Their intelligence, eagerness to please, and love of learning make them very easy to train.
Coat Expectations
Improper Coats: This coat type is fairly common in F2 goldendoodles. These coats are relatively easy to maintain and don’t require much brushing, but they don’t tend to produce the same “teddy bear” look that many of the other coat types display. These coats tend to have moderate to high levels of shedding
Straight/Light Wave Coats: Wavy coats are very common. They typically require brushing once a day in areas that generally receive high friction, such as behind the ears, the neck, the base of the tail, etc.
Curly Coats: These coats are most common in F1B and F3 goldendoodles. This coat requires daily full-body brushing. Curly coats come in many varieties, depending on the tightness of the curl. This coat type tends to have minimal to no shedding and are a great option for homes with allergies.
Health Testing
Because Goldendoodles are a hybrid breed, the resulting hybrid vigor makes them less susceptible to genetic diseases associated with purebred breeds.
They grow healthier and live longer than either parent line. The only genetic diseases Goldendoodles can be prone to would be those shared by both the Golden Retriever and the Poodle.
We get asked a lot if there are more health problems with smaller Goldendoodles, because of the father being a mini or toy Poodle. Smaller Goldendoodles are actually healthier!
What most people don’t know is that all small and toy breeds originally were bred down in size from larger dogs. The smaller Goldendoodles have fewer health problems because they share less of the same bad genetic traits. In fact, that’s true about most dogs; smaller dogs generally live longer than larger dogs.
How Goldendoodles May Impact Allergies
The higher the percentage of Poodle, the better the chances of no shedding and allergies.
A first-generation Goldendoodle is the result of a golden retriever and a poodle. This is considered a F1 Goldendoodle. Because they are 50% golden retriever and 50% poodle, they are more likely to shed as a result of the higher percentage of Golden Retriever in them.
When you get to the second generation Goldendoodle, they are typically called an F1B. An F1B is the child of an F1 Goldendoodle and a poodle. An F1B Goldendoodle has 75% poodle and 25% golden retriever. The poodle’s coat genetics is what makes the Goldendoodle allergy friendly and non-shedding. Since a F1B Goldendoodle has 75% poodle, you are going to have little to no shedding.
Make sure to ask your breeder about coat genetics. Sometimes the genetics of F2 and beyond can produce improper coats that shed and are missing furnishings (The adorable hair that gives your doodle that teddy bear look).
