History
The Goldendoodle was first bred in 1969 in North America in an attempt to create a hypoallergenic guide dog.
It is now bred for different sizes ranging from miniature to standard size. Today, Goldendoodles can be found all over the world with families who appreciate their intelligence and affectionate nature.
Personality
Goldendoodles are known for being social and friendly animals. This makes these dogs great family pets.
They get along well with children, other dogs, and people.
Trainability
Goldendoodles are considered to be very trainable dogs due to their intelligence. They can learn basic commands from an early age and respond well to positive reinforcement methods such as praise, treats, and affection.
Health
Goldendoodles are a healthy breed with fewer health issues than their purebred parents.
However, they are at risk of developing certain conditions such as hip dysplasia, a skin disease, subvalvular aortic stenosis, Addison's disease, and eye diseases such as progressive retinal atrophy, cataracts, and glaucoma.
Lifespan
Goldendoodles can live between 10 to 15 years on average. However, you can increase their lifespan with proper care, diet, and exercise.
Grooming
Goldendoodles require regular brushing to keep their coats healthy and to prevent matting.
Cost of a Goldendoodle puppy
Generally, you can expect to pay anywhere from $2,000 to $3,700 for a Goldendoodle puppy. However, the price can increase if both parents are show-quality or come from high-end breeders.
