The term Goldendoodle
(Golden Doodle) describes a hybrid dog, crossbred between a Golden Retriever and
a Poodle. This hybrid is often said to have begun in Australia, along with the
Labradoodle;
US fanciers challenge this assertion. Poodle hybrids have
become increasingly popular and it is likely that the combination of Golden Retriever
and Poodle has been duplicated by breeders in various countries.
Goldendoodles are intelligent and obedient. The make great
family pets and will be wonderful companions. They are very social and devoted
to family members. They are people dogs, good with kids and other dogs and pets,
and friendly with strangers.
Goldendoodles are likely to get into mischief if they spend most of their lives
alone or bored. (My golden retriever certainly gets in trouble when bored. I can
vouch for that first hand.) They are intelligent and love to please, therefore,
they are very easy to train. They are a medium to large size family dog with great
temperaments.
