Goldendoodle History
Goldendoodles first began to appear in the 1990's. They were bred for their non-shedding and hypoallergenic coats.
They are a cross between a Poodle and Golden Retriever. They are often compared to a Labradoodle in sizes and coat types.
The
Goldendoodle is good with children and is easy to train. They get along well with other dogs, are
extremely clever, sociable and joyful and quick to learn unusual or special tasks. They are active, a
little comical at times and can attempt to outsmart their owners if undisciplined. They are
non-aggressive and friendly, although obviously loyal to their own family.
