Goldendoodle (Poodle X Golden Retriever)

Goldendoodles are a cross between a Golden Retriever and a Poodle. They come in a variety of sizes from the lanky energetic standard Goldendoodles, through to Miniature and Teacup Goldendoodles.

Knowing what type of coat a Goldendoodle will have is important – as these dogs are often desired for their non-shedding hypoallergenic hair. (e.g. If you are after a non-shedding Goldendoodle – you will need to look for a F1b Goldendoodle)
