The Goldendoodle is a “designer” dog breed that’s a cross between a Poodle and a Golden Retriever. They were initially bred in the late 1960s to be allergy-safe guide dogs. The Goldendoodles’ get their curly hair from their partial Poodle ancestry, which is considered to be hypoallergenic because it barely sheds. Goldendoodles also have sweet and calm temperaments like Golden Retrievers, making them great for guide dog work.

 

Goldendoodles currently come in three primary sizes: miniature, medium-sized, and standard. Miniature Goldendoodles typically weigh between 15 to 30 pounds, while medium-sized dogs weigh 30 to 45 pounds and standard Goldendoodles clock in at about 45 to 100 pounds.
