Breed Profile
The Goldendoodle is a hybrid dog created by crossing a purebred Golden Retriever and a purebred Poodle. It is not a breed recognized by the FCI, but rather a so-called designer dog. His appearance can therefore vary quite a bit depending on whether he has inherited more Golden Retriever or Poodle characteristics. However, it is generally similar to both breeds, with a robust build and a thick, curly or wavy coat.

History
The Goldendoodle originated in the USA and was first bred in the 1990s. The breeders' goal was to create a dog with the best characteristics of both parent breeds: the kindness, loyalty and intelligence of the Golden Retriever and the hypoallergenicity and low shedding of the Poodle. Although the Goldendoodle is not yet recognized as a separate breed, it has quickly established itself as a popular companion and family dog.
The Goldendoodle was created by crossing the Golden Retriever and Poodle to create a hypoallergenic companion dog with a friendly nature.

Character & Temperament
Goldendoodles are known for their friendliness, intelligence, and playful nature. They love the company of their humans and are usually in a very good mood. They are exceptionally social and get along well with children and other animals, making them excellent family dogs. Goldendoodles are generally very active and playful. They love long walks, playing in the park and other physical activities. Thanks to their intelligence, they are also well suited to dog sports that require mental work. However, their need for exercise is not as high as that of some other breeds, so they can cope well in a smaller apartment as long as they get enough exercise. A well-socialized and trained Goldendoodle is usually not inclined to exhibit strong hunting or prey-catching behavior, which makes it easier to live with. They also don't tend to be overly alert or territorial, meaning they are usually friendly towards strangers and make good visiting dogs in schools or retirement homes. Goldendoodles can learn to stay alone, but they definitely prefer to be around their people. However, like any dog, they should be trained to stay alone from an early age to avoid excessive attachment or separation anxiety. They are not loners and require lots of human interaction and mental stimulation to be happy and well-adjusted. Although the Goldendoodle is a friendly and sociable dog that loves to play and be active, it also has a calm and gentle side. They love relaxing with their family and can be very cuddly. They are very people-oriented and build a strong bond with their family. This love and loyalty, combined with their natural intelligence and desire to please, makes them wonderful companion dogs.

Training & Education
Goldendoodles are intelligent and eager to learn dogs who generally enjoy training. They are well suited to a variety of dog sports, from agility to obedience. At the same time, it is important to ensure balanced training and avoid overworking. Like all dogs, Goldendoodles need rest and relaxation time. Some Goldendoodles can be "ball junkies." and love retrieving balls or other toys. The important thing here is to keep the game balanced and make sure the dog doesn't become obsessed with it. Impulse control and frustration tolerance are important skills to teach when raising a Goldendoodle.
Nutrition & Care
A Goldendoodle's diet should be tailored to its size, age, activity level, and health. They usually benefit from a balanced diet with high-quality proteins, healthy fats, vitamins and minerals. When choosing food, you should choose a product that is specifically designed for your dog's size and life stage. Grooming a Goldendoodle can be challenging due to their curly coat. They have a dense undercoat and require regular brushing to prevent matting and skin problems. Depending on how curly your Goldendoodle's coat is, he may also need regular professional grooming. Goldendoodles cope well with the climate in Germany. Their fur protects them from cold and heat, but it is important to watch them in extreme temperatures and make sure they do not overheat or get too cold. They tend to shed moderately.
