Welcome to The Goldendoodle
A Little About Goldendoodles
Goldendoodles combine many of the qualities we love about Golden Retrievers and Poodles. They're intelligent, affectionate dogs that generally enjoy being part of family life.
Their intelligence also means they learn quickly — including things you may not have intended to teach them! Consistency, patience, reasonable expectations, and plenty of positive interaction go a long way toward helping a puppy become a wonderful family companion.
Every puppy is an individual. Coat, size, personality, energy level, and learning style can vary, even among puppies from the same litter. Getting to know the puppy in front of you is part of the fun.
Start Before Your Puppy Comes Home
The best time to prepare for a puppy is before you need the information.
Take some time to explore the resources on this site, particularly puppy proofing, vaccinations, potty schedules, bell training, and our tips for selecting your puppy. You don't need to master everything before Gotcha Day. The goal is simply to have a plan and know where to come when questions arise.
And remember — puppyhood doesn't last forever. Enjoy the fluff, the silliness, the learning, and even a little bit of the chaos. You're beginning a relationship that we hope will bring your family many happy years together.
