About the Goldendoodle
The Goldendoodle is a large dog breed originating in United States / Australia. Adult dogs typically weigh 25 to 90 pounds and live 10 to 14 years. The breed is described as friendly, eager-to-please, family-bonded, variable-coat.
Active families committed to professional grooming every 5–7 weeks. Excellent first dogs for allergy-sufferers IF coat type is verified. Households expecting guaranteed hypoallergenic coat from any doodle — F1 dogs vary widely.
Adult Goldendoodles need about 60 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent dogs typically need 90 minutes. The coat is curly-coated with low shedding, and weekly brushing keeps the coat manageable.
