Personality
The Goldendoodle is a beautiful, intelligent, and loving dog breed. They are very smart and love to be by your side. Golden doodles are also very loyal and very easy to train. They excel as family or personal companions, or emotional support dogs, as well as service dogs.
Physical characteristics
Goldendoodles can take on either Poodle or Golden Retriever looks, and most are a mix between the two. Their coat colors vary based on genetics, and can be curly, wavy, or smooth. In puppies with higher percentage Poodle blood, coats are curlier and shedding is less, making the puppy more hypoallergenic.
