Would a Goldendoodle suit your family?
Goldendoodles are delightful - loving, sociable, trainable, keen to please, a great all-round family dog.
Loving: they love spending time snuggled up with you, and enjoy a good tummy rub.
Sociable: friendly with other family dogs and pets, and dogs you meet out and about. They adore children and people and are very friendly dogs with the ability to be gentle around children.
They’re clever and trainable: if you put the time in - with early puppy-classes and training - you’ll have a well-behaved dog who’s pleasure to have around. They generally love food, and are keen to work out what you’re trying to teach them, and how they can earn that tasty training treat.
They may suit you if:
You’d like an affectionate, family-oriented dog who enjoys the company of adults and children alike.
You’d enjoy having a fun-loving, active partner on your outdoor adventures.
Someone is around at home to look after puppy when young, and you have time to devote to puppy-training.
You’d like a striking dog with non-shed coat, meaning minimal hair around the house.
Exercise requirements around 1 hour a day (less for puppy). Happy to have the occasional duvet-day and chill-out at home. Adult Goldendoodles are usually quite happy to chill-out and snooze after their walk. Some have more ping, and others are of a calmer disposition - it’s an individual thing, and they’ll get used to your household routine.
