The Basics About A Goldendoodle Breeder

By Anita Ortega


Breeders are people who carefully mate specimens together in order to create specific qualities and characteristics in a breed. The goldendoodle breeder might be operating in several parts of the world. These people specialized in the crossbreeding of poodles and golden retrievers. Dogs are known for being popular pets as puppies and even when they mature to adulthood.

This dog was given its name circa 1990s. It is taken from the names of the two parent breeds: golden comes from the retriever and doodle is based n poodle. Different types of goldendoodles exist. In fact, there are even miniature ones. Breeders might specialize in a particular size, age or color when it comes to this breed.

The crossbreed has been around for some time. It originally came to be when breeders in Australia and North America started to cross their standard retrievers with poodles. The reason for doing this was to create guides for those with visual impairments, who also struggled with allergies. In fact, many consider this to be a designer dog, a term that dates all the way back to the twentieth century. This was a time when purebred poodles were mated with other purebreds to create a dog that was believed to have a hypoallergenic coat and still have the other desirable characteristics of other breeds.

In general, the animal is bred to be a companion. These are considered good pets for families, especially those with people who have allergies. Some might prefer to get this as a pet while it is still young so they can enjoy its energy and playfulness, while still establishing a bond with the animal. These animals might be bred solely for assistance, therapy and guidance purposes, mostly for people with allergies.

There are a lot of different reasons why a person might choose this crossbreed. Sometimes it is because the person likes retrievers as a breed but would prefer a dog that does not shed has heavily. Not every goldendoodle has non-shedding properties associated with the standard poodle. Still, they will do less shedding than many other dogs. Beware that any breeders claim that this dog is hypoallergenic, but to date there is no solid proof to support this.

As the dog matures, it will become more obvious from what breed it takes most of its characteristics. When they are young, they are generally quite small in size. They may grow to become medium or standard size.

There are also mini versions available through certain breeders. Like any other form of crossbreed, the appearance of each animals will differ. They may come in different sizes, colors and with different coats. Wavy, straight and curly are the most common coats seen with this crossbreed.

Those who are interested in owning one of these as a pet is encouraged to do some research beforehand. These are regarded as the perfect animal for most people who love animals, especially people who are known to have bad allergies. The availability and pricing for these dogs is expected to vary by location. People should search to see what breeders have to offer in their region.
