The Golden-doodle has not become popular for lack of good reason. their positive personality traits are numerous — they are usually very friendly, intelligent, and have an accepting nature and they can be highly affectionate, they are gentle and patient and make a wonderful family companions, especially since they actively enjoy human company. They are loyal and, with PROPER TRAINING, they can be highly obedient. They do have a playful side and can be mischievous if the mood hits.
Temperament is affected by a number of factors, including heredity, training, and socialization. Puppies with nice temperaments are curious and playful, willing to approach people and be held by them.
Like every dog, the Golden doodle needs early socialization — exposure to many different people, sights, sounds, and experiences — when they're young. Socialization helps ensure that your Golden doodle puppy grows up to be a well-rounded dog.
After all their vaccinations are given, enrolling them in a puppy kindergarten class is a great start. Inviting visitors over regularly, and taking them to parks, stores that allow dogs, and on leisurely strolls to meet neighbors will also help them polish their social skills.
Socialization is important for all breeds, but for a gentle dog like the Golden doodle
it can be instrumental in discouraging any shyness or timidity.
The Golden doodle has an average energy level and will require daily exercise through walks or a good romp in the back yard. Generally speaking, 20 to 30 minutes of daily exercise will be enough to keep a Golden doodle from becoming bored. They are known for their love of water, so swimming provides another opportunity for appropriate exercise.
They are not an ideal pet for outdoor or kennel living, since they thrive when they are with family, so owners should expect to keep them primarily in the house.
Coat Color And Grooming
The Golden doodle should have a curly coat of about two to three inches in length. They have longer hair on the tail, body, ears, and legs (legs may be slightly feathered); the hair on the head and muzzle tends to be shorter.
The coat can be black, copper, white, cream, gray, golden, apricot, or red, although golden seems to be the common coat color. White can often be found on the feathering, and the Golden doodle's coat tends to lighten with age.
Although they are considered a non- to light shedder, the Goldendoodle still requires lots grooming to keep the coat in the best shape possible. Owners generally opt to clip the coat for easier maintenance; but if you choose to leave it in its natural state, expect to brush it every other day to avoid matting. They should be bathed every two weeks and grooming should be started as soon as you get our puppy home, brushing out etc. Cowboy Magic works great on any tangles they might get.
