IMPORTANT INFORMATION

A Goldendoodle is a Golden Retriever and Poodle cross. Goldendoodles, also called Golden Poos, Goldie Poos, or Groodles, have been bred in North America and Australia since the early to mid-1990's. As the smaller poodle hybrids had been such a success in filling the niche for small, allergy friendly family pets, Golden Retriever breeders decided to try a breeding with a standard poodle for a larger family pet. The quick rise of the popularity of Goldendoodles is due to the dogs themselves. They are a most marvelous hybrid.

Yes! Goldendoodles are a primarily non-shedding breed. They have mosly hair, not fur, and require regular grooming every 4-6 weeks to prevent matting. Puppies typically "blow" their coat around 6 months of age. Thereafter, you will begin to loose the ever so soft puppy coat and begin to grow their adult hair. Adult hair typically comes with more curls and requires daily to weekly brushing depending on how long you like to keep your Goldendoodles hair.
