This mix of Golden Retriever and Poodle creates a beautiful breed. With the colors of the Golden Retrievers and the curls of the Poodle, the Goldendoodle is often seen as a “designer” dog. This crossbreed is friendly and full of energy, both familiar traits of the Golden Retriever. They make for perfect family pets, especially for those with children. Goldendoodles are smaller than Golden Retrievers, ranging in size from 30 to 45 lbs, and can live anywhere from 10 to 15 years.

On average, Goldendoodles cost between $1,000 and $3,000, depending on the breeder, the size (with mini in higher demand), the generation, and the parents' pedigree. However, some highly regarded breeders can charge up to $4,000.
Indeed, the Goldendoodle makes an excellent house dog. They are known to be friendly, extremely affectionate, intelligent, and obedient, making them perfect for families or singles alike. Their hypoallergenic coats are also a big plus for indoor living.
Goldendoodles typically reach a size between 10 to 24 inches in height and they can weigh anywhere from 15 to 70 pounds, varying significantly depending on whether the poodle parent was miniature or standard-sized.
Goldendoodles are moderately high maintenance. They require regular grooming to keep their curly fur from matting and tangling, and they also need regular physical and mental stimulation due to their energetic nature.
The average lifespan of a Goldendoodle is between 10 and 15 years, depending on their health and living conditions.
The downsides of a Goldendoodle are their need for constant attention, the potential for various health problems due to their hybrid nature, and their propensity for destructive behaviors when bored from lack of exercise or stimulation.
Goldendoodles are prone to common genetic issues faced by their parent breeds, such as hip dysplasia, progressive retinal atrophy, and Von Willebrand's Disease, which affects their ability to clot blood.
Mini Goldendoodles are expensive due to the extra veterinary and breeding costs incurred while achieving the miniature size, and the high demand for these smaller, more apartment-friendly dogs.
The most expensive Goldendoodle colors are generally the rare ones like Phantom, followed by parties, and then Merles. Red and cream colors are more common and thereby less costly.
Male Goldendoodles can be a bit more playful and outgoing, while females can be a bit more independent. Also females can sometimes be a bit more easily trained. Regardless, the breed itself is known for being affable, friendly, and great family pets, irrespective of the puppy's gender.
