About BFF Goldendoodles

Goldendoodles are one of the most popular hybrid dogs available. They are excellent first-time pets. They are friendly, gentle, and affectionate. They are often used as therapy and companion dogs due to their amazing temperaments.

 

Goldendoodles love their humans and are relatively easy to train and care for. They do not like to be left alone. They need at least 30 minutes of exercise a day, as well as plenty of time for play, training, and snuggles.

​

Goldendoodles have the best characteristics of both the Golden Retriever and the Poodle. They have the Golden Retriever's patience, loyalty, and easy going manner, as well as the Poodle's intelligence and athleticism. They are great with children and other pets. They are hypoallergenic, which means they have very little chance of causing allergies.

​

Goldendoodles have are different sizes, colors & coats.

​

Petite:   less than 14 inches in height (weighing 25lbs or less)

  Mini:     14-17 inches in height (weighing 26-35lbs)

Medium:  17-21 inches in height (weighing 35-50lbs)

Standard: 21 inches in height or more (weighing 51+lbs)

​

They range in color from cream to deep red. They also can have a combination of colors.

 

Their coats can be wavy, curly, or straight. The curlier the dog, the less it tends to shed. There are no guarantees, but on the whole, Goldendoodles shed very little. Many not at all.

​

**Questions to ask yourself before adopting a Goldendoodle:

1. Are you willing to make a 12-16yr commitment to your dog?

2. Do you have the time, energy and finances to properly care for your dog? (quality food, vets, grooming, dog walker, doggie daycare, etc)?

3. Do you have time to take your puppy to puppy classes for obedience training as well as socialization?

4. If you have children are you willing to teach them to treat the dog with kindness and respect?

​

Remember, Goldendoodles love their people and want to be with them as much as they can. Please consider the long-term welfare of the dog if you are at school or work and the dog will be sitting home alone.
