Goldendoodles are an amazing combination of the Golden Retriever and Poodle Breeds. You get the best of two worlds, the loving, devoted, playfulness of the Retriever and the low to no shedding quality of the Poodle. They are so intelligent and one of my favorites to train. Their size is perfect in our opinion. They are small enough to cuddle on your lap but big enough to go all day on an adventure. Their coats do require regular shaving or brushing. They are amazing family dogs as well as therapy, service, and outdoor adventure dogs.
