What happens when you mix the good-natured personality of a golden retriever and the luscious curls of a poodle? You get a big Goldendoodle! This adorable mutt is a relatively new designer breed, first introduced to America in the 1990s.
As crossbreed dogs, 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, read more about them, and don't forget to upvote your favorite big Goldendoodles!

Is Goldendoodle a Real Breed?
Goldendoodles may not be officially recognized as a pure dog breed, but the name was coined in 1992, a combination of golden retriever and poodle. This is the most common identifier for Goldendoodle puppies, but they have several other nicknames like Groodles, Doodles, and sometimes Goldenpoos. Silly and adorable, just like the cute dogs themselves!
This Is How My Dog Sits On My Lap. (She Thinks She's People)
Why apply human traits to an non-human animal?, a dog doesn't think of it's rude parts as rude, they are simply a body part to the dog, no ruder than it's nose.

Are Goldendoodles Good Pets?
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 intelligent poodle and obedient Golden Retriever, big 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.
However, Goldendoodles are no couch potatoes! 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, Goldendoodle puppies might be the best choice for you.

Are There Different Types of Goldendoodles?
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 mixed breed dog. Enter the miniature Goldendoodle - a mix of a Golden Retriever and a Toy Poodle - perfect for people with an apartment. And if you’re wondering how big will a mini Goldendoodle get, you’ll find this just a little bit below!
Then, of course, size isn’t the only factor when it comes to Goldendoodle types. In fact, Goldendoodle isn’t the only representative mix of the Doodle kind, and some of the most popular crosses are:
- Labradoodle: Labrador Retriever + Poodle
- Aussiedoodle: Australian Sheepdog + Poodle
- Bernedoodle: Bernese Mountain Dog + Poodle
- Sheepadoodle: Old English Sheepdog + Poodle
- Goldendoodle: Golden Retriever + Poodle
To make your choice easier, though, Goldendoodles (or any other Doodles, for that matter) can also be classified by generations. It looks like this:
- F1 Goldendoodle: 100% Golden Retriever x 100% Poodle
- F1b Goldendoodle (first generation backcross): 100% Poodle x F1 Goldendoodle
- F2 Goldendoodle: F1 Goldendoodle x F1 Goldendoodle OR F2 Goldendoodle x Poodle
- F2b Goldendoodle: F1 Goldendoodle x F1B OR F2 x Poodle
This is very important to know if you’re choosing your doggie for its hypoallergenic qualities. While an F1 type Goldendoodle will be 100% hypoallergenic, an F2 type Goldendoodle might not have the hypoallergenic coat you were looking for.
Feeling The Rush Today!
I never feel comfortable seeing a dog leaning out of a fully open window. A sudden swerve or emergency brake could be dangerous.
That's why I lock my windows with just enough room for my baby to stick her head out. She also has a seatbelt that latches to my car like a regular one.

How big can a Goldendoodle get?
Goldendoodles most often come in three size variations: miniature, medium, and standard. Here’s how big they can get for each size group:
- Mini Goldendoodle – around 15 inches and 30 pounds when fully grown, or around 38 cm and 13 kg;
- Medium Goldendoodle – 15-30 inches and 30 to 45 pounds or 38 to 50 cm and 13 to 20 kg;
- Standard Goldendoodle – 22 inches and 50 or 56 cm and 23 kg.
Hopefully, this chart will give you an idea of how big is a Goldendoodle!
Now, besides these traditional size types, a truly big Goldendoodle might happen. In that case, it would be called a giant Goldendoodle. This big plushie will be several inches taller and quite a few pounds bigger than the standard Goldendoodle. However, a giant variation of the type is kind of a deviation from the norm that happens extremely rarely.

An Unexpected Friendship
Dog on the left- "Ah, he likes me!", dog on the right, "Ah, she likes me!", dog on the right stares at the dog on the left, "no i do not. I was talking about my mini human." -"Well, so was I. Wanna go on walk?" -"does anybody say no?" (also, its interesting that they happen to have the same leash and collar- made out of climbing gear?)

Are Goldendoodles Good for People with Allergies?
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, even the big Goldendoodles require low grooming, unlike the poodle, just a bath and a comb through every two weeks, along with a routine trim at the groomers.

Are Goldendoodles Healthy?
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).

I had a labradoodle, not a golden doodle, but she used to do this same thing. If I was in her seat she would stare at me, and if I didn't get up, she would leave after a while. Then she would come back maube 5 minutes later and repeat...sigh

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.
Load More Replies...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?
