10 Facts About Goldendoodle | Dogs 101 - Goldendoodle Dog Breed Information

[@taylorwilliams1287]

I have two standard golden doodles and I live in an apartment. As long as we take them on walks and exercise/play with them, they do perfectly fine in an apartment. If you live in an apartment and are considering adopting a goldendoodle, don’t let that discourage you.

[@ykonratev]

Why does an apartment matter.. you can have a giant house but if you barely exercise it you have the same problems. Just cause it's in a bigger space has no relation to how much it's gonna exercise on its own😊

[@Itsjustya_]

Thank you for saying this!

[@trucker4life333]

I agree I'm a truck driver and my medium goldendoodle goes along for every ride. Needless to say my truck is smaller than a apartment and he is the happiest dog I know lol. You just have to meet there needs in other ways.

I have an 11 month doodle and she has fit in with my family so well. It’s like she’s always been with us. When my grandma comes over to visit she always lays by her feet to protect her. She will not move. She’s so cute and she has learned so much within her first year. I highly recommend a doodle. If you do get one… we take our doodle out for four walks a day. I heard they need about two hours of exercise. Then we play inside with her rope or ball.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

We have a 4 month old Groodle, he is a great companion, needs heaps of exercise. We have a big backyard and leave him while we work. He just plays all day and sleeps when we aren’t home. He slept the whole night from 9 weeks olds and was toilet trained at about the same time.

[@ykonratev]

Yeah my doodle actually does my homework and cooks my meals i wasnt expecting this but dam they are smart

[@Fishfingers-q5n]

In Australia we call these dogs Groodles. I think it sounds sooo much better than golden doodles. We have a smooth coat groodle so she looks more retriever than poodle. We have the benefit of the gorgeous groodle personality without the high grooming costs. Honestly, she is a very intelligent, mischievous without causing destruction, affectionate dog we have ever owned. Buying a groodle has been the best decision we made. Easygoing nature with personality.

I have a 4 year old Goldendoodle and she does not shed but she certainly barks a lot. She has never torn up anything! She is a great dog! She has medium type fur that is wavy. Her mom was a standard poodle so Maggie weighs 68 lbs. My husband and I are retired so we have spoiled her so much!

[@BtibjgjgskdHfk78]

I have a 7 month old Goldendoodle (mom is a golden and dad is a poodle) and she's been great although since it is my family's first time owning a dog and my dad and I are her primary owners it has been stressful at times. When she was first brought home at 8 weeks she definitely took some getting used to (puppy energy, biting, crate training, etc.) but she was potty-trained fairly quickly, puppy biting is over now, and she has never really been destructive. My family does have to leave her for up to 4 hours at a time, twice a day as we work, but she has the basement of our townhouse to herself and I come home every day for around 2 hours to let her out, play with her, and walk her. She has a lott of energy and always wants to play. She is very curious and adventurous which has been a challenge on our walks as she tends to pull and want to go everywhere (it has been getting better but slowly). When she is trained more I think she would do very well on hikes and general off-leash walks. She is also very friendly towards strangers and other dogs even though we haven't been able to socialize her as much as we wanted to with the pandemic (doggy daycare has been a tremendous help once or twice a week). Also, she is relatively quiet and only barks when she sees people and dogs through the window or on the balcony sometimes; she doesn't really whine either (except in the beginning when we crate trained and worked on her being left alone, which we had to be very strategic about to avoid the separation anxiety). Unfortunately, she has had a few health issues so far: UTI (when she was really young), thrown up a couple of times, yeast infection in one of her ears, a mild cold, and kennel cough (just recently, as it is going around in my area) so keep that in mind when thinking about the cost of med bills. Long post but hopefully it helps for anyone who is thinking about a golden or is about to get one. Please feel free to ask any questions, I know I needed it when we first got her!

[@coaluck]

Thank you! I have a 4 month old and same mom is a golden and dad is a poodle…how did you overcome the puppy biting? That is our biggest issue! If this was solved, he would be PERFECT. Same schedule with being at home as we work too. I come home for about an hour during the day.

[@toedrag-release]

@@coaluck hi, the best way to stop the biting is to always redirect them to something they are allowed to chew on. Buy many different chew toys different textures. Make sure to tire then out everyday as well. They'll normally grow out of it after so long but redirecting them will speed up the process

[@coaluck]

[@Wolfdawg504]

Most of this is true, but all dogs are different, even those of the same breed. I have a 9 month old Golden Doodle, and it's easily the smartest dog I've ever had. However, she has a high prey drive. She also has zero separation anxiety, and actually acts as a guard dog and barks at a stiff breeze. Despite socializing her since she was a puppy, she absolutely doesn't trust strangers and we always have to warn new people not to try and pet her until she's comfortable because she WILL bite. I'm honestly not complaining about it since it translates to her being very protective of our kids, and it's never a bad thing to have a 70 pound dog protecting your children.

[@kpina2081]

"even those of the same breed"? They're not a breed in the first place. Of course mutts with no standard will be way different from eachother.

I surrendered av15 week old who was aggressive, bit me constantly and was totally defiant. He would not let me love on him or pet him. House training was impossible. I sold him back to the breeder. Broke my heart. I wondered if he was inbred...

[@bighead2437]

Probably didn’t exercise him enough. Also from 4 weeks he should be getting touched everywhere to make sure he becomes insensitive to being touched (more the breeders fault than yours) . But most inportantly they are a very VERY active breed if they dont get played with enough they get bored and misbehave. They are super intelligent due to being part poodle so mental stimulation like slow feeders, kongs, etc... need to implemented. Owning a goldendoodle is easier than owning a lot of dogs but all dogs take hard work to train and get to behave. I take my dog on a walk for up to three hours a day but i’d say an hour walk is good (not including bathroom breaks).

@PupcrazytalesYT A mutt is a dog that is mixed, end of the story. A "crossbreed" is a mutt. It doesn't matter how widely they were or are bred. They have no purpose, they have no consistency, they are not a breed or even a purpose mix like lurchers.

[@realledbetter5015]

My daughter has one. I love her. I am watching her while she is on vacation right now. She is a great dog but has some issues. Last night she grabbed a wet paper towel, ran away when I tried to get it from her like we were playing a game. She ended up swallowing it. Prior to that she grabbed one of my socks & maybe would have tried to swallow that but I got it out of her mouth. Then another time she did that with her sister’s panties & almost swallowed them. Luckily my daughter grabbed her & was able to remove the undies from her mouth. She said they were 90% swallowed. Finally, she likes to eat rocks, sticks & leaves in the yard. We both play with her & try to engage her but she randomly indulges in this dangerous behavior. She is only about 50 weeks old. We want her to live long, but if she continues eating these things she is going to create a digestive blockage, need surgery & may be ruining her digestive system. My daughter has a full time job. She lives alone with the dog. While at work the dog is in a crate. A dog sitter comes to the house 4 out of 5 days a week to let her out of the crate for an hour while my daughter is working. The other day of the week she goes to a dog sitter who watches multiple dogs & she interacts with the other dogs & avoids the crate for the day. On weekends she spends a lot of time with Gemma (dog’s name) & walks her a lot long distances. What can be done about her eating dangerous things that will ruin her digestive system? Will she out grow eating leaves, rocks, & sticks? As soon as she does that I bring her inside the house & hope she puts 2 & 2 together!

Except poodles have those long pointy thin noses, not to mention the creepy-looking "squirrel feet." And there's really no better dog than a golden retriever if you don't mind the fur everyplace (which is fine with me, but not for family members with allergies). No thanks -- kidding aside, I'm sure poodles are fine pets, but I have no regrets about getting our golden doodle.
