The Goldendoodle is a hybrid dog from the United States, resulting from crosses between Golden Retriever and Poodle. The name Goldendoodle is made up of three parts: " Golden " ( Golden Retriever) and " oodle "; together (from English poodle for poodle ); the letter " d " is an analogy for the Labradoodle.

The Goldendoodle is not a breed of dog in the proper sense, and is therefore not recognized by the FCI or another canine larger organization.

Origin and History

Goldendoodles are bred in North America since about the late 1990s. Today, there are more farms, for example in Australia and Europe. Background was - similar to the Labradoodle - the cultivation of a " non-allergenic " dog, which is more easily digestible for people with pet allergies. Studies on the coat of this dog could not confirm this claim, however: the amount of allergen in the fur of Goldendoodles does not differ from that in the fur of other dogs.

Description
