Goldendoodle 97

The Goldendoodle is a cross between a Golden Retriever and a Standard Poodle, a Goldendoodle and one of the original parent breeds, or two Goldendoodles. The Goldendoodle originated in the 1990s in North America and Australia, although it was first bred in 1969.

The idea was to create a breed with the great temperament of the family-friendly Golden Retriever along with the intelligence and non-shedding coat of the Poodle. By crossing these breeds, it was also thought that an effective solution for guide/service dogs for people who also had allergies could be created. This cross resulted in highly trainable canines that always aim to please.

Although they are not recognized by the American Kennel Club, they are recognized by other notable canine registries and clubs. The American Canine Hybrid Club, International Canine Association, and more recognize the Goldendoodle.
