What happens when you mix the good-natured personality of a golden retriever and the luscious curls of a poodle? You get a Goldendoodle! This adorable mutt is a relatively new designer breed, first introduced to America in the 1990s. As crossbreeds, they are not officially registered as a breed of their own, but as the product of two pure breeds, they still get an honorable mention. Goldendoodles are both athletic and intelligent with the bonus of being hypoallergenic (they don't shed), perfect for all people with allergies. Scroll down below to check out some hilarious and adorable dog photos of this sweet blended breed, and don't forget to upvote your favs!

Goldendoodles may not be officially recognized as a pure breed, but the name was coined in 1992, a combination of golden retriever and poodle. This is the most common identifier for these mixed breed dogs, but they have several other nicknames like Groodles, Doodles, and sometimes Goldenpoos. Silly and adorable, just like the cute dogs themselves!
Before Deployment... After Deployment
These large dogs are wonderful family pets because of their friendly nature, but they also have what it takes to fill a more serious role. A mixture of the intelligent poodle and obedient Golden Retriever, Goldendoodles make excellent service dogs. Whether a guide dog or a therapy dog, they can do it all, plus this breed is ideal for hospital patients and people in nursing homes.

Goldendoodles come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. These often oversized big bundles of joy are incredible for some pet owners, but not everyone has what it takes to provide for a large breed. Enter the miniature Goldendoodle - a mix of a Golden Retriever and a Toy Poodle - perfect for people with an apartment. These small adorable dogs could easily be confused with a stuffed animal!
Goldendoodles are a hypo-allergenic breed thanks to their Poodle side, allowing people with dog allergies to enjoy these furry creatures. This also means they won't shed all over your furniture and clothes, as they have hair instead of fur. In addition, they require low grooming, unlike the poodle, just a bath and a comb through every two weeks, along with a routine trim at the groomers.
Feeling The Rush Today!
This breed of dog is extremely high energy which means they need plenty of exercise and play. They weigh around 50 to 100 pounds on average and enjoy going out for walks, hikes, runs, and even swimming adventures with their owners. So if you are someone who enjoys outdoor activities or sports, a Goldendoodle may be the best choice for you.

As a hybrid dog, Goldendoodles are predisposed to having excellent health, known as hybrid vigor. The reason for this is that they inherit the best qualities from both of their different contributing breeds. They even tend to be healthier than the purebred dogs that created them. This added health benefit means fewer visits to the veterinarian! Some disorders that they may inherit from their parents include hip disorders, elbow disorders, or VonWillebrand’s disease (a blood clotting disorder).

We used to get a goldendoodle named Bo into our groom shop. He was the funniest most energetic dog. When his owner would come to pick him up, Bo would bounce from one end of the reception area to the other..all excited that he was with his owner and he was going home. But all that would come to a screeching halt when his owner was paused at the front door. Bo would freeze and stare at the door like he was trying to open it with the power of his mind. If his owner put a hand on the door, Bo would stamp his feet excitedly..eagerly anticipating the doors inevitable opening. Once outside..the bouncing continued all the way to the car.
And all the way home, I'm sure. Nice story. Thanks for sharing.
I LOVED this post and felt like I could contribute a photo or two with my goofy goldendoodle. He's the sweetest, happiest, and funniest little dood who loves giving hugs. He does shed, though, and he has SO. MUCH. ENERGY. I'm glad this mix is popular, but they definitely need the right home. Thanks for posting these great pics!
SInce they don't shed, I'm assuming they are inside pets, right? As a 'doggie person' I find them adorable, other than their size. I used to have a black Lab, 'Captain Black', and he was an outsider, but a great fellow, personality wise. I let him in the house one day, and he immediately cleared my coffee table(drinks and all) in less than five seconds with his waggie tail. I've had many different breeds, but my favorite is the Shih-tzu. They're perfect for inside the house: no shedding; small eater, small pooper. He even loves to "Go to Lowes". I put him in the children's seat of the hand cart, and he has a blast making friends with strangers. Now, if I go to buy some supplies without Charlie, almost every employee I come to always asks "Where's Charlie". His only problem is his extra long tongue, which he loves to slide down the throats of children who try to kiss him.
Why have an "outside dog". It's only benefit is that you feed it. A dog is a pet/companion/guardian - and loves it;s owner. Why would you not allow it in the house if it wants?
Yeah I’m with you. Anyone who isn’t comfortable with a dog, ANY dog, being in the house, shouldn’t have a dog. Any dog.
Portuguese waterdogs are what you want..they are low dander..low shedding dogs.
You take your dog in a store? Omg jealous!
My dog is small, not a bear like these, but I take him nearly everywhere I go. I understand that dogs can't enter places where food is sold, like bakeries and supermarkets, although he is cleaner, healthier and better behaved than many people. In the rest of the shops, cafeterias etc, if the dog can't enter, I don't buy there. As simple as that.
they still shed. It's just different than other breeds. And it depends on the genes they get because they're not purebreds so these dogs are never 50% Golden 50% poodle. That's not how genetics works. If you want a less shedding dog, do your research. These are not the dogs
It depends on which generation you have. My f1 ( 1/2 golden / half poodle ) didn’t start to shed until he hit 12 yoa. The 8 year old f3 has no shedding. The 1 year old f5 has no shedding. Yes , I’m obsessed. Best dogs ever. Easy to train , great with kids. My f3 house broke in two days !! Smart and energetic.
