Goldendoodle Puppy And Dog Information
Topics: goldendoodle, Golden Retriever, poodle, hybrid
The Goldendoodle is a crossbreed variety of dog. This unique hybrid is the result of crossing a Golden Retriever and a Poodle, classified as an F1. Since the Goldendoodle as a crossbreed, the appearance can vary.
The Golden Retriever is one of the most popular dog breeds in the world. Regarded as gentle and high trainable, the Golden Retriever makes an excellent family pet and companion dog. They are used extensively as working assistant dogs. Poodles are intelligent and good natured dogs, traits that compliment those of the Golden Retriever.
Poodles enjoy the company of people and take well to training. Both breeds are very loyal and sociable but both can show the occasional stubborn streak. Given the diversity of these traits, it is hard to predict which characteristics will dominate in the Goldendoodle.
Some Goldendoodle Subsequent breedings to the F2 or F3 level can dramatically alter the appearance and temperament from the original F1.
Approximate Adult Size
As with many hybrid breeds, the size and weight of your Goldendoodle will vary. The approximate adult size, age two years or older, of either the male or female is 20 to 24 inches at the withers. The withers is measured at the highest point of the shoulder. An adult Goldendoodle can weigh between 45 and 65 pounds.
Special Health Considerations
Most dog breeds have certain health conditions problems associated with that specific breed. Goldendoodle may be prone to hip dysplasia and cataracts but in general will have few health problems. As with most hybrids, a full understanding of potential health issues is difficult.
This disease list is provided only as an informative guideline and your Goldendoodle may not experience these conditions. Consult a veterinary professional for more comprehensive information.
As with any dog, the puppy stage, 0 to 12 months of age, is the time for shots, boosters and check up. As an adult, the dog should have an annual veterinary checkup that should include a dental examination and cleaning. Avoid feeding your dog sweets and human foods that could be harmful.
Grooming
The coat of Goldendoodle will be generally curly, taking after the Poodle, with very little shedding. Regular brushing will help maintain a clean and healthy coat. The process of grooming also provides an opportunity to examine the dog for skin problems and look for insect pests like fleas and ticks. Grooming also helps to strengthen the emotional bond between you and your dog.
Dental health is important and the teeth should be brushed at least twice a week with toothpaste and toothbrush designed for dogs. Brushing removes the accumulation of plaque and tartar which can cause cavities and periodontal disease. Poor canine dental hygiene can lead to pain, loss of teeth, bad breath and other serious health conditions.
The claws should be trimmed regularly and the paws examined for signs of injury.
Life Span
With proper nutrition, medical care and excellent living conditions, a Goldendoodle should be able to live a long and healthy life, possibly as long as 15 years. Given the hybrid nature of these dogs, an accurate prediction of life expectancy is not possible.
Registries
American Canine Hybrid Club
As a hybrid breed, the Goldendoodle is not recognized as a breed by the American Kennel Club, Continental Kennel Club, the Canadian Kennel Club or their affiliated organizations.
Litter Size
Litter size is said to average between 3 and 8 puppies, though accurate data has yet to be collected.
