- Obviously this doesn’t cover everything, but just wanted to express a few things to consider when getting a goldendoodle. Personally I love these dogs and think they’re amazing pups and if it’s the right fit for you then get one!!!

My friend got an F1 goldendoodle puppy recently and only had her for a week and was going to give her back to the breeder. I think the pup was too much for her to handle. I told her my husband and I would take her if she was giving her away. So, we ended up with her! We had no idea what to expect because I’ve only grown up with aussies and blue heelers. She’s such a good puppy! We taught her to walk in the leash in a day, only one accident in the house so far, and she’s the most hilarious lil pup! Her zoomies crack us up! She’s really smart and she always wants to be by us 😊
Where did you get your puppies from
@@caroltaft8329 do u want one?
I do
I just got one too. She is amazing
@@caroltaft8329 I got mine from Lancaster Puppies.
As a dog groomer I just wanted to say.... I love you 😅. I literally stood up from my couch clapping giving a standing ovation at what you said about the amount of grooming that doodles need to maintain a longer coat that everyone loves on goldendoodles. I want to like this video 100 times but it won’t let me 🤷♀️😅❤️🐕🦺. It’s awesome hearing a breeder letting there clientele know the amount of work that goes into maintaining the breed.
And I appreciate my groomer very very much after I start grooming mine myself. That's insane of work. Groomers are definitely underpaid.
SAMESIES, @Roxy Viola - Regarding everything you said!
I don't believe they get paid enough either! Unfortunately my groomer just said she can't do Saturdays anymore. That's the only day we can bring them both in. So I will have to look for another one.
"literally"
This is an Amazing educational video!! Thank You Because I have a male Apricot Standard poodle and I LOVE him in his teddy bear cut. But in order to maintain his longer curly coat, I HAVE to brush him Every single day!! I don’t mind, because he is my child🥰
I have a 4 month golden doodle and she’s sooooooo needy and is attached to my hip. She’s literally my best friend . Unfortunately she jumped off my bed and broke her femur and is in recovery but these dogs need all the love and attention. I work from home so what states are FACTS!!! You need to have all the time in the world. If you’re a home body like myself I totally advise you to get one . They’re so loving and such great companions.
So TRUE!!!
I have a 3 month old Goldendoodle. She’s so sweet and yes they want to be around you all the time.😂
😂😂
They are extremely needy .. like over the top needy
My goldendoodle is 8 mth and is the most lovable dog I've ever owned and yes very attached to me .can anyone recommend how to stop them jumping up on everyone that passes by as he is so exited when he's out on walks and takes puppy tantrums and pulls me off my feet trying to run to people approaching in the distance. Not all people are dog friendly .
I have I micro mini golden doodle. Full grown at 13 pounds. F1B, very curly, comes everywhere with me. I wasn’t planning on getting a dog, but I saw a picture of him and thought of him literally everyday for a month. I took that as a sign from God that he needed to be my best friend. And he has literally changed my life!
Where did you get him please.
I’m getting one but I work 8-5pm. How can I make it work?
I bought my first goldendoodle almost a year ago. Boy did I learn a lot in 1 year. I've had dogs all my life but these dogs are different. There's a lot of interaction, love, exercise and yes grooming! Her hair is like a poodle and it mattes really easy. But, they are worth it! I fell in love with Sophia almost immediately. She was very engaging, playful, loving and just seemed to be in tune with me. I lost 40 lb running around after her last summer. Thank God! So this year we decided to get another one. We bought a standard goldendoodle. He's huge. His name is Odie. He weighs 45 lb and he's 4 months old. A reddish color not really poodleish though. He is such a calm good boy! Boy am I happy that we have a full house now and Sophie has someone to play with!
I thank you for the video. I have a year old Goldendoodle and she is the sweetest. I like you have had many different breeds of dog, but this breed is so very different. She has so much energy to burn. I take her to daycare, dog parks etc. My question is,do they ever calm down?😂
Rumor has it maybe by 2 yrs old. Lol
Do you feel the boy is calmer than the female?
Odie is going to be hugh at 4mo and 45 lbs. Take a look at Brodie he just turned 3yrs old and about 85lbs and gets carried around like a baby. Check out the channel "Brodie that dood" he also is a F1 you can see how big your boy will get.
@@jaspruill7495 I hear from other GD owners they stay like this active longer than other breeds, my friends dog 6 years still the same
My goldendoodle will be 2 in August, and I've found the best compromise for me and the amount of brushing I want to do, plus keeping him in a typical doodle style, is to keep his body short and everything else shaped + regular groomings every 6 weeks. But I got him so I would have something force me out of the house, and he is one of the best friends I could ask for. I don't think the 2.5 hour walks would be the same without him, and the fact that he can recognize when I'm working and when it's okay for him to play with me just proves how smart these dogs are.
I have 4 and they are exactly as you said! Couldn’t live without them either! ❤️❤️❤️
Great info! Just wanted to add that while TH-cam and IG are mostly filled with puppies and beautiful young dogs in their prime, don't forget that your dog will one day be a senior - slower, just as needy, whiter fur and dealing with senior-related health issues, surgeries to remove weird lumps (or more) and so on. Make sure you're still committed to the intensive grooming (it might be less motivating when it's not a picture-perfect pup) and that you can transport and lift a large breed dog in and out of cars, up and down stairs (or modify sleeping arrangements to avoid this) and pay those vet bills. A lot of people don't look beyond the 'fun years' and I've seen many neglected senior dogs or situations where a single, older owner has trouble getting the dog to a vet because of combined mobility issues, size/weight of the dog etc. Sorry to be a downer... just realistic. I've had 2 large breed senior dogs myself, and they require special consideration.
TRUE TRUE
Very true I have had large breed dogs as well and they become a senior faster than a smaller breed
Thank you great thought.
@@lynncardiff5469 We got a standard poodle at the age of 7, almost 8. He's 11 now and still thriving. He's had bloodwork done recently and all good, which is a relief. His one issue is his teeth. He was a breeder in a kennel all his life before, so his ability to adapt, trust and love amazes me!
We always say "never again" when our oldest dog dies, but ... our first-ever poodle, a white toy, died in late 2020, age 14 and my brother's dog died this spring at age almost 14. We got my sweet silver standard poodle girl, age 3, this summer. She's amazing, and my baby out of the four we have right now.
I agree. However if you put in the work and feed them good diet when they are at their prime their senior years can be easy on them and the pawrent.
Your energy is infectious! I’m delighted you are advising of the grooming issues - don’t forget the mention keeping those ears clean! That is one mellow puppy. 👍🏻
thank you!!
Very mellow its why he kept it😁
My golden doodle is the best! His name is Genghis! Both parents are golden doodles. Got his first full groom at 7months and boy did it make a difference! It brought out the curls! I get him a specific cut every month: Body medium-low with fluffy legs and a teddy bear head. He is adorable! This boy loves attention, affection, toys, and play time! Best dog I've ever had!!
Firstly, I adore this video & you Sir.
Secondly, we learners the hard way as well. As much as I love the teddy bear look it’s difficult to maintain when you have 4 soon to be 5 doodles (last one is a puppy rescue). Everything thing stated in your video is 100% on mark. I work 4-5 days a week while my wife is finishing school online. Our roles were reversed when we got 1-3 doodle. No matter where one or both of us are, our fur children are there. WE LOVE IT! In fact, we bought a king bed just so they can all watch TV w/us. In stead of dog beds in their room (yes they have their own room) we bought bunk beds and shortened them. Ok ok enough.
Keep on posting dude. I am now a follower!
My wife and I have a standard GD. She is now 13 months old and 90 lbs (give or take a lb or two). At 76, I have had dogs all my life and I can honestly say, I've never had a more even-tempered lovable animal like her. "Lexi" learns quickly (no surprise there) - she quickly became my velcro dog since I'm home most of the time. When she gets the "zoomies" in the backyard, I'm almost in tears watching her run and cut like a quarter-horse. When she's done (exhausted) she just plops down in the grass. Her eyes say, "Can we go in now? I'm beat..." My experience with grooming has been nothing but good. We have a groomer that keeps her in a "puppy cut". And since he does such a great job with her, I make sure he's compensated with almost a 50% tip - it's worth to me. And yes, "Lexi" was potty trained in one day.
What food do you have her on? My baby boy is 60 pounds at 14 months
How did you potty train Lexi?
How did u potty train 🚆 also where can I get one from I live in New Jersey Belleville if u familiar
Any tips on how you got Lexi potty trained in a day?
Pottt trained in one day? That’s amazing it took our labradoodle 6+ months to be fully potty trained
As a breeder myself of English Springer Spaniels this is great information on Golden Doodles and getting a puppy for your family. Love your honesty!
Thank you! Love Springer Spaniels!!
This guys passion and genuine love for these dogs is powerfully evident. I just got my golden doodle and she is the most loving puppy ever, loves to be in my midst, and very smart for four months old. Stays on command, lies down on command, comes running the moment we call her... Love her immensely.
thank you so much!
So True!!! I have a 5 yr old F1B & they are the best dogs EVER!!!! What you said about them following you is spot on for my doodle. She literally follows me everywhere that I go. I take her in the car to a lot of places & she does great & loves all the attention she gets. I can also take her to safe places to be of the leash and she does great. She keeps us all in line because she knows our routines and if we do anything out of our routine she starts barking at us. She is a GREAT dog!!!!! I highly recommend the breed if you’re at home most of the time like he said. Goldendoodles are to loving to be alone or stuck in a crate all day while someone works a 40+ hrs a week.
Thank you so much for doing this! I have wanted a goldendoodle for years and this just gave me even more assurance that this is the pup for my family and I.
It is great to see how loving trusting and calm your dogs are. I am a veteran and will be looking for a companion to go everywhere with me. I used to take care of my exwifes golden doodle, he was such a good boy. That being said, I would eventually be interested in one of yours. I can tell you are a good person, I prefer older dogs but at the end of the day i know how to raise puppies.
You’re so right about the dog needing to be near us all the time…
My brother is a dog trainer in North Carolina and he gifted us what now according to your video we realize is an F1B black golden doodle and he is absolutely the most loving amazing boy ever
but my goodness does he suffer from separation anxiety if you leave him alone for more than 10 minutes
His previous owner worked long hours and as a puppy Cooper would rebel because he was left alone all day long and he would destroy things in their house apparently which is why they gave him up
Thankfully my husband and I both work from home so we are able to give him the attention and time he needs so it’s worked out but I can definitely vouch for the fact that these dogs are highly dependent on social interaction so make sure you know this before you get one.
Since our kids are already older…
If you are older and miss having kids around
This breed definitely fills that void as he has now become our fourth child lol
Great video! Thank you!
Thank you for this great video ! We are newly retired seniors who have our adoptive grandson. We are considering this breed as we do have tons of time to devote and a large property. Thank you for this valuable information.
Love doodles but we ended up with a black standard poodle. She has the same personality as most doodles I’ve met. Physically she’s skinnier and lighter than a doodle. She’s very calm in the house but will play, fetch, and do whatever you ask of her outside. She’s incredibly smart and loving and although she prefers to be with us, she’ll hang out on her own. I’d say she’s about perfect! I’m only sharing because I often hear that people adopt doodles because of the golden retriever personality… and only value the poodle side for the nonshedding gene….but I’m here to tell you that the standard poodle personality is incredible and they are very misunderstood. Btw your doodles are gorgeous!!
You are SO right! Spot-on!
Generally:
Standard Poodles ARE brilliant and easy to train.
Goldens are brilliant and easy to train
The only reason I didn't start out with a Standard Poodle is because *I* needed a dog that my daughter could take for a walk down to the river and have the dog help keep her safe.
Poodles have very little "Deterrent" value. They can bark and growl, but generally, people don't pay attention BECAUSE "it's a poodle"
They are every bit as protective of their families, but people are dumb.
Just another thought... Poodles can enrich one's life beyond measure. (As can any breed that is a good match for your lifestyle.)
Thank you so much for sharing!
I have standard poodles. They are everything you have in a doodle. Incredible personality, loyal and people focused. Highly trainable. I have a therapy dog, service dog, one trained for scent work all are gorgeous non shedding hypoallergenic velcro dogs. Groomed once a month with weekly brushing in between. No idea why they need to be mixed with a retriever.
@Kathy Hays I just wanna say, I've owned & fostered dozens of large dogs in my life and have volunteered in my local shelter for years. While at first glance a standard poodle might not be the most intimidating, to date the most scary looking dog I've ever encountered was a barking black standard poodle that was only held back by an invisible fence! So maybe if trained for protection or to be aloof towards strangers they'd make decent guard dogs
I recently got a standard black golden doodle. I’m having the worse luck potty training him. He is very loving playful, very smart but will not go on paper doesn’t let me know when he needs to go out. We are older couple we don’t watch him constantly live in an apartment. I’m ready to rehome him at ropes end with him. I stay at home and saying that’s not good for him isn’t helping me deciding to rehome. He is a wonderful pet and thinking he would serve as a good emotional support pet. Was I wrong?
I have a maltipoo and he’s very vocal. He starts crying if we drive by his favorite beach and don’t stop. He makes noise to wake us up from naps. He’s the first to let you know it’s treat time. Very expensive vet bills 😬
I have a 4month mini golden doodle. This boy is a handful ! But I love him and still learning him. We are keeping his hair but for the summer months we’re going to cut it short. Thank you for this information ! 👏🏾
ofc!
my golden doodle baby gonna be a year old next month, shes such a good girl. she has only brought happiness into my household and everyone loves her. shes around 65 pounds right now and we walk her 2-3 miles a day. she knows her “walky” schedule and will non stop bother u until u take her. golden doodles are great dogs so if u are thinking about getting a doodle and you will be committed to taking care of them, by all means get one.💯❤️
I have two Goldendoodles from same mom and pop, but a year apart. One looks just like your big dog and the other looks just like a Retriever. Love them to bits!!
We have 4 children and 2 golden doodles. I think my husband and I have a weekly conversation about how much we love them and how well they do with kids. Just the most loving dogs and SO SO smart! They potty trained super quick and just have the best personalities. I learned to groom them myself and it has come in very handy.
Great video and the info/suggestions were spot on. We have 2 female F1B Goldendoodles, litter mates we adopted at 8 weeks and that just turned 12 months. They are about 50 lbs at this stage of life. Can't say enough positive things about this breed. They are the most loving, even tempered, highly intelligent and gentle dogs we have ever had. My wife and I are both retired. After the loss of our German Shepard, we felt an emptiness in the house. These 2 fill the house to overflowing with fun and affection. Living in the country the two girls shadow me as I do chores and walk abouts. They love riding in the car, swimming in the pool, playing fetch or just running around the field. Extremely intelligent, very active, not aggressive, playful and endless energy. Very easy to train, responding to hand, voice and sounds commands. House broken and crate trained at 8 weeks. They love the 4 & 7-year-old grandchildren and respond to commands from them. When rough housing with the doodles they have never snarled, bit, growled or nip, with us or the grandkids. Expect unlimited puppy kisses and licks. They do alert us when strangers come down the lane or wildlife has ventured to close to the house. Once acknowledged they are quite welcoming to human and animal visitors. Grooming is something that is essential and requires dedication and commitment. I started, brushing them at 8 weeks, grooming them at 16 weeks and groom about every 8 weeks. They are quite at ease during the bathing and grooming process, having been acclimated. Doing the grooming myself, I can experiment with the cut that makes the most sense for them and us depending on the time of year. Also saving $400 every 8 weeks. Most nights before settling down they get a brushing to remove any tangles from the day's activities. After which they like to cuddle resting their head on you while you are reading or watching a movie. I would suggest that it is essential to research the breeder. They are an invaluable source of information as you learn about the care and handling of a wonderful companion and best friend.
They arent a breed. They are mutts. Why not just get an apricot poodle? Giving money to backyard, unethical breeders is why poodles are being ruined.
I work long hours and love my 2 doodles. I spend a lot of time with them when I'm not at work and they seem fine. And by long hrs I work 7 12s. I come home at lunch everyday to let them out and play for a few minutes and after work I average 2 hrs of constant play time .
awesome!
I get my F1 English Goldendoodle pup in a week or so and I've been watching your videos they are jam packed with such knowledgeable information on these doodles!!! Thank you so much the amount of research I put into this I'm so excited to have my boy home :)
I am so glad you are presenting the full picture and responsibility of pet stewardship. The pound is full of beautiful dogs that people purchased in loneliness and desperation during the lockdown... And then went back to work after spending 24/7 with their new fur baby without a thought to the dog's feelings. It is heartbreaking to see the expression of betrayed and abandoned in the eyes and bodies of these poor unsuspecting bewildered dogs. Their future is so uncertain. I hope your message is heard and heeded. Quite seriously, I believe it should be potential dog owners must be licensed.
Love this! I have a golden doodle, she LOVES being with us but she also LOVES her alone time while we work, i have cameras in the house and shes so calm and relaxed and loves her naps then gets excited when we are home and play/walks etc! Great video couldnt say it better myself
Thank you!!!
I’d like to know where ppl get these calm goldendoodles. Mine is on crack I swear. She never stops. It can exhausting.
@@SupahTammy 😂 mine definitely gets crazy af but for the most part shes chillin lol
@@DahLilDVO I will run and play and run with her outside, her tongue will literally be hanging on the floor and she comes in still wanting to play. I call her my energizing bunny. 🤣🤣. She very rarely chills. I give her brain games and everything. So far nothing just wears her out completely. She is still in puppy stage (9 months) so I’m hoping she will calm down a little. But I love her even the same.
Amen!!! This is so so true!! Like you, it took me a while to learn what you learned about the grooming! We, like you, raise Goldendooles, and I interview all my puppy families and STRESS just how much work a Goldendoole is! This is a great video and I will share it with my puppy families?! Thanks so much for taking the time to record it. 🐾🐶
Thank you!!
Thank you for the honesty. My fam has on as a Service dog. She gets groomed daily so we get to know her well because she will be kayaking and hiking. Praying
You were fantastic! We are looking at some golden doodle pups tomorrow. We have nothing but love and time to give 24/7. Can’t wait! Thank you!
Great info! Love our doodle and started brushing him from day one. He loves it
awesome!!
That was great, Gabe. We bought our first Goldendoodle in 2003 and we were constantly stopped asked what kind of dog it was. We loved her so much that we got her a pal, another Goldendoodle puppy when the first one was 18 months. Both girls lived a long and happy life almost 15 and 16 years. Yes, grooming is huge. I had them clipped every 6 months or so in a teddy bear cut and shorter in summer for comfort. Three times a week is very accurate even with a teddy bear cut I kept them brushed/combed and clipped around their paws. They loved their baths and would walk right in to the shower when I opened the door. We would never own another type of dog. We still can’t get over how fortunate we were with our two love bugs therefore it has been difficult to get two more!! Our were F1s - that was before the generation-thing began. We would stay with the F-1. Thank you for your great information and for your love of Goldendoodles❣️
Thank you for sharing! 2003 was at the very start of this cross. Y’all are some of the OG people to have goldendoodles haha
😊
I wish I saw this before, but thank you for making this!! We didn’t know about the matting at first and our girl has Super tight curls! She looked like a little skeleton when our groomer had to shave her!
It’s definitely a need to know!
New subscriber😊🤗 I love the passion and the excitement you delivery in this video.
thank you!!!
I have a goldendoodle named Echo and brushing her out is a workout, but so worth it!!! I hate when I hear people say they want a doodle ONLY because they don't shed, but forget that means A LOT of maintenance🙄 (ps. Great video!!🎉)
Great video! I got my f1b golden doodle 4 months ago and he is amazing!!
AWESOME
Wow... very clear and honest. I love the way you describe your honest point of view. You are amazing!!
thank you so much!!
Our goldendoodle is 10 months old and is about 63 pounds. I've never had a dog before and researched a lot about breeds that would fit our family. I stay home 80% of time and take him out on walks in the woods, take him running ( short distances) and play with him. We have left his coat get long in our northern Maine climate, but he has a very straight coat. I brush him every day. Much of what you said made me realize what a great fit our dog is for us!
I agree with everything said. We have a F1 goldendoodle, standard size, 64 pounds. They need attention. They want to play with you or another dog all the time. They do not want to do it themselves, they need a partner; human or another dog. They only stop when they need a rest. They always need someone. If you plan to leave dogs more than 3-5 hours alone a day, please do not get this dog. It will be a torture. If you do not live in house with a fenced yard, or you cannot walk him or run with him. Do not get this breed. Even you have fenced yard, you have to go out there and play with them. They also love leash free walking in the woods.
We have an F1 and he has a mixed coat, he's 75 to 80 lbs. We keep him short and brush his tail often. They matte so easily. He's the best damn dog and my husband who didn't want him, loves him. He's his bestest friend!
They are also brilliant dogs! We have done a ton of different things to keep mine in his kennel, moved it, locked it, used different door, put stuff against it. Mine is a little Houdini! I always say he’s so smart but knows how he thinks stuff should be done or what he wants and gosh he is definitely determined! They are a lot of work, very attached, but the most loving dogs ever.
Thank you Mr. Bolinger this review helped me a lot I have been looking and searching for about a year to try to decide what dog was best for me and I think this dog is a good fit I'm retired and I'm retired and looking for a pet that is kind of a clingy type of a dog and so this is gonna work for me thank you so much
I'm blessed in that my goldendoodle is complete opposite of what you just said about goldendoodle's; easy going, no separation anxiety, not needing to be around me, but he is very active and loooooves to run! He's whipping me in shape! 😉 I brush him everyday with a good brush (they are not all equal). His coat is wavy and his face looks like the golden retrieve, while his ears and body is of his mother; 50/50 while dad is a poodle.
Byy
Hi with a wavy coat looking my like a golden retriever face does he shed a lot ?
@@marieorr2814 he did shed his baby coat; he was fluffy when I got him. Now that he has his adult coat, not much. Since this post, I've gotten another goldendoodle, but he's curly and doesn't shed at all. When I brush him, there's no hair in the brush.
Hi I have a golden doodle too and I’m struggling to find a good hair brush for her, what brand is the brush you’re using for your pup? :)
Omg much needed video thank you. I'd like a video showing all the differences between a F1B vs F1 and "more golden retriever" vs "more poodle"
Definitely will do a part two to this video in the future
Great video and appreciate your honest recommendations. We have an Irish Doodle and a Golden Doodle and they are both amazing! They are super smart and really are the best dogs.
I have been wanting to get a golden doodle. Thank you so much for that info. It was very helpful and great !
so glad you liked it!!
They're so cute and snuggly.. but they are so expensive. Thanks for the video. 😊🐶
Of course😊
Such great info 🐶❤️
I have a 1 1/2 year old standard poodle....he is the sweetest dog I have ever met...but when he barks, EVERYONE looks because his voice is so big and deep. He definitely needs a lot of attention, combing/brushing and cuddling.
This is an excellent recording. Thank you so much for all the detail.
i researched a lot before buying an f1b goldendoodle from a reputable breeder, mainly due to asthma & not wanting any shedding. we bought Noelle home January 1, 2022 at 9 weeks old, 15 pounds. she learned to sit & lay down in one day:) she has a mixed coat & she definitely does not shed at all unless i am actively brushing or dematting her. i let her hair grow 6 inches long. it looked so cute & she was the talk of the town with ppl stopping in their tracks especially since she quickly grew to be over 50 pounds huge & fluffly, looked just like Brodie, the famous goldendoodle. But the matting was insane & that was with almost everyday brushing. i made an appt for the groomers (Petco). the lady took one look at her size and fluffy long coat & made every excuse in the book to NOT groom her. granted, she had a knot under her chin that i was nervous to shave off & i thought the groomer could do it but she said although Noelle was perfectly dematted everywhere else, she could not (or would not imo) do it & that i would have to go to the vet. i went home & several days later took the clippers to her & cut her about half way all over which made a huge difference. the chin knot came off fairly easily. she still looks super cute & she is the love of our lives. she's so active, loves to please, loves water, doing tricks, working for treats, uber smart & yes needy-follows me around bc i wfh but she loves her human brother, sister & her dad as well as other family, neighbors & friends. truly greatest dog ever
glad you could groom her yourself, sounds like a amazing pup!
Good information and yes most people don’t do enough research my puppy is an f1 crossed with a f1b just to confuse people a bit more
True true
Thanks for helping inform people. Great advice!
Hi Gabe!
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for sharing such important information!
I had Giant Schnauzers for 30+ years and I learned a lot about grooming!
= "knots" and tangles too!
In order to leave your dog's hair long and poofy, you must be able to run a COMB through their hair - ALL of their hair - even between the toes!
* If the dog has "tangles" the blades have to cut below them - close to the skin.
* Brushing out knots after two weeks of no brushing can be VERY Painful to your beloved pup!
*** ALWAYS BRUSH YOUR DOG THOROUGHLY BEFORE YOU GET THEM WET to give a bath.
Hair that has been wet and then dried locks those knots down tight and guarantees painful brushing!
I hope this is helpful supplemental information for folks.
You are doing a great job and I am so glad to see your post!
Pre-purchase research is key!
I have a Goldendoodle puppy and was living in a building with 4-5 others. This IS NOT a dog to have unless you have someone at home with it majority of the day. I feel legit guilty even running errands. Needy as shit.
I have a standard poodle girl. And her personality is the best I've ever seen among dogs I met. She's happy to play with every dog she meets on the street and is so friendly to people. I think a standard poodle is at least as nice as a golden doodle if not better, I don't understand why doodles are much more popular. I have seen over ten doodles in my neighborhood, but she is the only one standard poodle around.
Beautiful pups and thx for a very informative vid😻I have 2 maltipoos and they’re very similar in coats and personality.
My daughter got her kids a multipoo and she was told that’s the best dog to have for children. Her kids are very active and there’s always a lot of kids around and the dog was really struggling with that. I took the dog because my grandson was super upset and said that they were going to have to find a home for it. I love my multi-Pooh but after Covid, and working from home, and now going back to work he is really struggling with separation anxiety! He loves me being home and it saddens me that I can’t be there all the time for him.. Thank you for your insight and golden doodles
My Bella is an F1 and looks exactly like the puppy you were holding. She has more of the golden coat. I was surprised about the grooming but all things considered this is a wonderful breed and I’d never get any other breed . Bella is the perfect dog in every way. Never chewed, no separation anxiety, not a barker with a sweet temperament - and she’s pretty 💜
How about potty training? How fast did it show results?
Great video!!! I had to learn the hard way as well with grooming, I have a F1 female doodle named Khloe she truly is my best girl friend.
How has the shedding been?
This is great information. I have a miniature golden doodle and you are very right she does shed and she has lots of energy thank goodness we are retired and can be with her.
I have an F1bb and she is the best, but needs professional grooming every 7 weeks and lots of brushing. Thank you for being so open about this. Even though I knew about the grooming beforehand, doing it is different.
You can do it at home also, going to make a video on doing it yourself soon.
I have a f1 goldendoodle he’s 5 months and everything you said is 💯 correct. He never wants to leave my side and he’s under me all day
haha yes typical goldendoodle😂
Got this dog for my father as a retirement gift. He and my mother have a Shitz Zuh, but that is a one person dog and that person is my mother. Now my dad has a dog he can walk and play with. Also, other dog scared my niece and nephew. They love the golden doodle, though. Dog gets it’s attention and 4 acres outside to run around on.
THATS AWESOME, sounds like he is definitely loved
LOL Ah, yes. I got my Golden Doodle spur of the moment. Met her randomly one day, and took her home the next. She's a LOT LOT LOT of work, and I have had my moments of almost-regret, but so glad I stuck it out. She's 8 months old now, huge, and a lot of energy. She's such a sweet pup though, and so blessed to have her in my life. Thanks for this video!
Thank u so very much. Great info. I am a new dog owner with a F1 golden doodle and I can't thank u enough.
As for golden doodles not being the dog for you if you are away a lot, I'd say the same for poodles. We have 4, and they go nuts if someone (particularly my mom) is away for even a couple hours. they're well-behaved when we're gone, but prepare for the poodle twirl and such!
I’ve been wanting this breed for such a long time for my son, they’re so beautiful
great dogs!
Do you have one yet? I have a friend in destin FL with a litter and not many buyers yet
No I haven’t had luck ! I live in Illinois 🥺
@@vanessalazcon8598 Paw Pads Doodles Deer Creek Illinois...Amazing breeder, but pricey. They are worth every bit of $ though. We are getting our second doodle in a few months. They have bernedoodles too!! some bernedoodles available now.... otherwise you get put on a waiting list. check out available puppies on site.
So cute! I Love them! I have 7th generation Cockapoo bred to look like a miniature Golden Doodle, he’s everything you have described, a bit high maintenance & hyperactive, he’s very athletic and needs to run. But the sweetest thing ever & follows my every step, luckily I am retired because he also has separation anxiety. He’s 27 pounds and a great option if you want a little smaller dog and don’t want to pay the price of a mini-golden doodle. They get the sweetness from the Cocker Spaniel too !!
I have an F1B and you literally said EVERYTHING I tell people. They are lovely tho regardless of coat🥰❤️
I love their expressive eyes, I love them. They’re so cute 🥰
Definitely love that part too!
I got a 4 month old Goldendoodle from Petland, and they said he was a miniature and would only gain about 5 more pounds (he was around 21 pounds at the time). Now, here we are. He's around 47 pounds and stands higher than what they said. He's probably the biggest baby in the world. Despite his size and stubbornness I absolutely love him and wouldn't trade him for anything!❤❤❤
Peatland buys from puppy mills and they probably don’t have much consistency and didn’t really know who the parents were
@@gabebollinger what? omg I never knew that, that is so sad :(
Mine was the runt and he’s barley getting big at all
@@gabebollinger also they’re crazy expensive for no reason. They wanted 5,000 for a yorki blk and tan
What is a F2 golden mini doodle?
I can't imagine life without my goldendoodle! they are the absolute sweetest most loving and fun dogs you will ever meet but you HAVE to be ready for them!
Great vid. We love our golden doodle! He is literally our best friend. He is also a great guard dog. Not sure if they all are, but we appreciate his bark when strangers come to the door
that’s awesome!! mine aren’t very protective
@@gabebollinger Ya I had a golden retriever once that would pretty much let anyone in and make them a sandwich lol
Thanks for the information! Good to know! Do you ever breed an f1b to another f1b? What is the general outcome as far as temperament, health and coat types?
We have a big F2B, which is 67% poodle and 27% retrieve. Completely non-shedding curly coat, brown nose and green eyes.
Gabe, you've had your passion for animals, since you've been a young boy. You are so filled with wisdom & truth. Grateful you share all this with people. God Bless You & keep doing what you love ❣️🎉
thank you!!
You are spot in and honest! Well done.
F1B, 42lbs, curly. Great review. People stop me and want a dog like mine. I always tell them about how the grooming is an issue. I need to up my game and explain about their need for human attachment. They need a family or dedicated owner. I do my own grooming, and it gets easier over time. Hair grows everywhere, inside the ears, paws, rear.
TRUE TRUE
As a proud F1B owner, this has been the best video I've seen about Groodles. Thank you for bringing attention to the most important aspects of the breed.
so glad you liked it
I have a golden doodle and I am so in love with her. I have a question, is it common to have an F1 standard that looks 100% golden retriever? I have had people tell me, I was sold a golden retriever. I have had golden retrievers before. My golden doodle does not have the golden retriever undercoat. I love that she looks like a retriever. I chose a doodle to have less shedding. My Molly does shed quite a bit. She is almost 2 years old and 70 lbs. I was just curious since you said you breeded them if you ever had one that was a straight hair golden doodle.
Sometimes they have improper coats due to breeders not genetic testing the parents and breeding the wrong dogs together and that will sometimes mean the puppies don’t have furnishings and they’ll look like a retriever
@@gabebollinger thank you! Im just so very grateful to have her and I love that she looks like a retriever. We did adopt an F1 b and she has a lot more poodle in her. They are such wonderful additions to family. Thank you for replying.
Wow, I love this information. I work in a petwash and couldn't figure out why doodles come with so many different coats and lengths.
Yes! Very important to know that
Thank you for the information. Just got an abandoned doodle and I really needed this information.
We need a grooming guide !
I have a miniature Schnoodle and I can attest that anything with Poodle in it, groom it , stay on it or you and dog will regret it. But the no shedding thing is awesome !
TRUTH
Seriously! What do you think the matting is when you don’t brush the dog, it is the fur that doesn’t fall to the ground.
@@zooidling well yes, but also simply the fact that the hair CURLS so it tangles itself quite easily, the longer it goes without brushing/combing/trimming it knots up more & more. Here is something embarrassing to share. My Miniature Schnoodle (Scnauzer/Poodle mix , has had a life long problem with the hair doing that around his private parts. I feel funny saying the P word LOL. So I have always had to muzzle him and TRY to trim that hair on the "sheath" (which is the part of a male dog that the Penis retracts into) The muzzle is because he is extremely protective of it and growls and tries to bite me when he knows my plans.
I am trying to make it sound kind of funny because it kind of is. But seriously it has been a life long problem because his joystick has been stuck outside of the sheath for his whole life ! I'd say 80% of the time it cannot retract.
Don't go blaming me because I had no idea what to do about this.
I had asked Veterinarians and groomers and the Vets told me nothing helpful. I was laughed at the first time I asked.
the groomers trimmed it up back when I was able to pay for grooming.
(I've had to do it myself for years now) Only recently my friend told me I can take him to the Vet and ask for a "sanitary trim" for this.
So that's what we did a few days ago and I am told he was extremely angry about it but guess what ?
His little male part is now where it should be, when not being used. For the first time !
He is still not happy about it but I am.
I mean, before the sanitary trim, it looked like unkempt dreadlocks "down there". I wish more people on TH-cam, and groomes, etc, would talk about this ; I wish I would have known this 12 years ago.
Excellent video, we have a cockerpoo 10 years old, I am never without her. If she’s not with me she is with one of the other family! Loves attention and fussing, not too keen on grooming though!! Everything you said certainly applies to our girl! Great video again. Thanks
I have two level 5 cling....I mean, I have two of the most amazing life supervisors. I'm literally never alone.
One thing that I hoped you'd share is that many Doodles have allergies...to chicken. Finding a 100% chicken free food can be challenging (and expensive).
Yes, Doodles are busy dogs. In addition to massive amounts of exercise, they need tons of mental stimulation. Puzzles, snuffle mats, and nose work.
Oh ... And be prepared for more goofiness than you ever thought possible.
Thank You for Sharing 😘 I have a Golden Doodle his name is Benjamin Moore! He's also my Service Dog 🐕 They are very good Dogs 😉
awesome!!
We just lost our beautiful sweet 11 1/2 year old Goldendoodle 3 weeks ago. We are heartbroken and miss him so much. He was very large with the most beautiful coat that she’d but not too bad. He was an F1, that physically resembled a Golden Retriever more then the poodle. He was extremely wild and destructive his first three years. But so easy to train!! Because of his size and strength it did take a lot of work to learn how to walk him. By 5 he was so chill you would never know he was the same dog. He averaged about 100 lbs thru his adult life. His coat was very rare, almost totally retriever. Grooming was not an issue other then his hair grew fast. He did love playing with other dogs but was definitely the happiest being with us. We miss him so bad, it hurts. These dogs become your shadow. They follow you around the house and wait by the door until you get home. Our boy gave us so much joy even though his large size and intelligence made him very naughty at times. We are not ready for a new pup but we love this breed. We are both 65 now with lots of grandchildren. We could never go through that wild period again. Are mini’s easier as puppies? Do the parents pass their temperament on to the litter or is it just luck? Any suggestions?
This is the best, most informative video I’ve seen on these dogs
Thank you!!
You’re spot on with your comments!! Everything you said is sooo right🎉🎉we have a beautiful sweet little F 1 B miniature
Goldendootle Puppy and she wants to be with us ALL THE TIME! For us she’s perfect as we work from home❤❤🎉
EXCELLENT video! It's hard to find breeders who are willing to be up front about the good AND the bad in a breed. We're Newfie owners (10 of them in the last 30 years, but not more than four at one time - ha!), and we got our first golden doodle in August of this year. We needed a companion for our young Newfie (will be two October 16th of this year), as we knew that our older Newfie was nearing the end of life, and what a GREAT and GOOFY dog he was. At any rate, I was peering at the computer screen late one night looking at "dogs for sale near me," my husband walked by on his way to the bathroom, looked at the screen, and said, "Go ahead and get him." I was flabbergasted (he NEVER does that; I usually have to beg), so I just JUMPED RIGHT ON IT, and here we are now, with BOB, an F1B golden doodle with phantom coloring. All of that makes me sound like I halfway know what I'm talking about. I DON'T. He's a WONDERFUL little dog, and HOW I WISH he would get to be as big as your Oakley, but I'm not expecting that. I can't recall any time in my life that I've gotten a dog knowing absoultely NOTHING about the breed. I have to say, the coat really is daunting. I've been brushing him every single day, and he looks like a ragamuffin 10 minutes later. Tomorrow he goes for only his second groom (he's only five months old), and I have no idea if she'll have to shave him down or what. I'm hoping I'll be able to keep on top of it once he gets a good start, and I've armed myself with clippers, a couple of different blades, brushes, combs, and VIDEOS like yours, etc. I am curious about a couple of things, if you have a chance to answer sometime: Are the F1's more expensive than the F1B's, since they're less "watered down," for lack of a better way to say it? Do the F1's get bigger than the F1B's? (I guess I have three questions.) Are there any health problems that golden doodles are susceptible to, as in do they get all the health problems of BOTH breeds or is the idea to water it down, so maybe they have LESS health problems? Thanks for your informative video.
I pet my gray golden doodle on minimum 200 times a day. Is that too much?
😂never too much
@@gabebollinger iam a at home grandma i have my grand children over almost everyday, I love this breed but...even though iam home 90% of the time I do go grocery shopping, and over to BBQ by my kids will these dogs be ok for 2-3 hrs alone or will they tear everything up ,bark, howl til I return???
Thanks for a great informative video. I did a lot of research and decided on getting either a Goldendoodle or a Cavapoo. It seems these dogs are small to medium sized which is perfect and they're family oriented which is exactly what I'm looking for. I'm also looking for a dog that can harmonize lovingly with our 2 cats. I'm also home a lot, every day most of the day while my son and husband are out until after work work hours. But we all have time for our furbabies, especially me! I enjoy spending time and playing with them daily, grooming is not an issue and we keep clean our litter boxes for our cats 3-4 times a day. It's really not much for us, it's the give us so much joy! The only problem is finding a reputable breeder, we're in NY. If you could recommend a reputable breeder it would be appreciated!
Your dogs are beautiful! Great channel ❤️
Thank you so much!
The look is cute but I do prefer more independent breeds. I don’t think anyone working terribly long hours should get any dog, even an “independent” one. All dogs need enrichment and a fair amount of activity imo.
It's also worth noting that goldendoodles can change wildly in appearance from puppyhood to adulthood. My guy looked just like a straight up golden retriever as a pup, and now as an adult he looks way more like a poodle, but with more golden retriever like hair if that makes sense.
Thank you for letting people know what to look for. We have a mini Goldendoodle. He has totally straight hair. He is beautiful with a bright red coat. And active, omg. He is the most active dog I know. We are waiting for him to be 2 or 3 years old so that he settles down. We totally love and adore him.
To add to the above, he is an F2 Doodle
Number one thing they don’t tell you about doodles: You don’t need one. Buy a standard poodle. Sheesh people.
