PROS + CONS OF GOLDENDOODLES | EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW | SHEDDING, TRAINING, + MORE 

We have an F1B named Chester (other way around for us, mom is a goldendoodle - golden & standard, dad is a standard poodle). Had him since he was a baby. He is everyone's best friend. Gets along with other dogs, even aggressive ones. Except bunnies, which he chases endlessly. He's never caught one (even though he is very fast, they are faster). No matter what we do with him, he acts like it is the best thing he's ever done. He loves going to the groomer and vet. Every other dog we've ever had it was always a struggle to get them in the doors. He lives for car rides. He has a very expressive face. Very easy to tell when he is excited about something. A serious creature of habit. As soon as it starts to get dark outside, he starts staring at me, waiting for his walk. We've had dogs for more than 30 years, random mixes. After having Chester, we will only get goldendoodles. The shedding is significantly less than any other breed we've had, and yes the grooming is essential. Costs us about $100 every 6-8 weeks. He pretty much came potty trained from the breeder. He does have some weird funny quirks, but we just chock that up to him being Chester. All the clerks at Home Depot, Joann's, etc. know him by name. Really nice to have a dog that we do not have to worry about any guests coming into our house. Best dog we've ever had, by far. And we've had some really good dogs.

We love our goldendoodle! She is so sweet and gentle and full of love. I can't imagine life without her. They are fantastic dogs!!

As a groomer, I would advise to keep a close look at their ears if you’re gonna groom them at home, they tend to get ear infections with all the hair in their ears, that needs to be removed... your babies are so adorable!! Enjoy every moment with them...

Golden doodles are full of love and gentleness. Highly recommended as a family dog.

came for the puppies, distracted by your love for eachother. you guys have it all. its so satisfying to see. congratulations.

The pros outweigh the cons by far. We still haven't found a good set of clippers for cutting Abbeys hair. Best dog ever ❤️Abbey loves smiling and showing them teeth. I never saw a dog do that before.

I'm getting my puppy Goldendoodle next month. I have researched them and I beleive she will be a great addition to our family. I have a 2 year old Oopsiedoodle (Newfoundland, Golden Retreiver, Poodle mix) who loves everyone and every animal and loves to play. Can't wait!!

Just got ours 2 weeks ago and it’s been awesome! Great video!

Nice video - 2 years ago - mere children that you were! Love you two and your doddle dogs!

Picking up my doodle floof boy tomorrow, and I can’t wait! He’s an F1 GD. I lost my Golden Retriever to old age last September, and my Great Pyrenees/ Newfie mix has been grieving his loss ever since. I couldn’t bring myself to get another purebred Golden, so the F1 GD seemed like a good compromise. My Newfie Pyr only sheds during spring and summer, so it’s been really nice not dealing with tumble weeds of hair flying around, but my Golden Retriever used to shed ALL year, lol. Anyway, I’m ready for the hair this time, and I’m just so excited to hold my little puppy and give him a loving home.

You two make me feel happy- you are very much in love plus you love Golden Doodles. I have a standard Groodle (which is what we call Golden Doodles in Australia) with a shaggy woollen coat just like Silo and just as big! . He doesn't shed at all but sure likes to get wet and muddy. They are hilarious dogs and I agree can be stubborn at times. He is very good at picking my pocket!

Our doodle is a little over a year old and yes he’s such a goofy boy. We didn’t get him on purpose (my son needed us to take him)- we’d been thinking of getting a standard poodle in a few years. But I love this dog.

Nice video! Who knew you had this talent!

Thank you

I enjoyed this video very much. I am in the process of getting a golden doodle and this is nice to see people loving on them and exposing how they are. You should do your home grooming video. I think that would be a great video to watch.

Cant wait to get mine next week!!

Love my doodle,thinking to get second one soon

Thanks I am getting one Sunday

I’m gonna say that the pros are outnumbering the cons! Goldendoodles are such extremely loyal and lovely dogs!!!

Thanks for posting this video Both of you are totally awesome and so are your dogs. I just retired and really want lo get a golden doodle for companionship and exercise. I wonder Your thoughts on two things - First I live on a semi busy road with a sidewalk and see quite a few olher dogs being walked. Is a golden doodle likely to bolt out of a house when someone opens the front door. Any precautions we should take to keep them safe. And second we have a 1/4 acre chain link fenced in yard. How likely is it that a golden doodle will climb or jump over a 4 foot fence. Thanks.

We have Freddy our F1B miniature goldendoodle. He has been the best dog we've ever had! He is a love bug!

Nice video from when you were kiddos 2 years ago!

You guys deserve more subs

Great video! Any breeders you'd recommend in or near Vermont?

So very cute.....sweet family. We just got a golden doodle puppy. 12 weeks old......smart and stubbor. Trainer starting in March😁

Beautiful pooches. I have a recommendation for food. Poodle breeds have a tendency to get ear infections caused by grain in their food. Get a good grain free like Canidae. Once we figured it out we never had an ear infection again. Never give them bread either, it will cause infections as well. Love the video.

Do you notice any differences in temperament between f1 and f1b?

I’m in Vermont too!

Hey really loved the video, Iam planning to get one. Wat is the size of your doodles?? Medium or standard?

Goldendoodles are the best! And beware ours is like a mud seeking missile (and in the uk we have loads!) 😂 Thanks for the self grooming tip, I might give it a try

My golden is more poodle than retriever, doesnt shed. Down side, he is very strong willed and when hyper, he cannot settle down. He has bitten through 3 leashes - at an overexcited stage. And he jumps on me and bites at my hand just to get control.

I live in Boston do you mind if I ask where you got your golden doodles?

I found an F1 and I’m in Vermont!! I’m worried about shedding. Your F1 doesn’t shed too bad?? Is her hair soft??

I’m in NE too, and I’m looking to get a goldendoodle. I found this breeder in ME which we are thinking works for us. I was wondering where you got your pups at? Any breeder recommendations around.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

You two are as cute as your doodles ❤️❤️ they are adorable and yes...they’re so silly 😂 we have our first doodle, she’s a crack up 😂🤣 we have always had Rottweiler’s, one was my service dog, they are super smart and highly trainable...our doodle is a challenge with her stubbornness 🤣😂 people always said, oh Rottie’s are super stubborn, Uhmmm, doodles are 😎 but with those faces...melting your heart and everyone she meets...and dogs too...you’re so right 😲 we’ve only encountered nice people right now, but yes...train...train...train 😛 Lol...train...😂 she’s two and we’re still working on her to be a service dog, maybe at 3 🤷‍♀️ she’s precious and we want 2 now...or a rottie friend 🤣😂 our son’s rottie was huge and her best friend, they wrestled and she would come back for more 😂😂😂😂 but, sadly, he had an operation and didn’t make it 😢😢😢💔 I love your channel and look forward to more...oh, we bought a grooming table and all the right stuff on Amazon. Yes, groomer’s do their own thing, so learn to keep up their hair ourselves has made her so happy 😍 😎 ❤️ God Bless you all🐾🐾❤️🐾🐾❤️

Beautiful video! You two did a great job. Side note, next person that says their dogs are like little kids, im gonna throw up. you getting a puppy is nothing like having a baby...

The shedding is a dealbreaker for me

Ok so I'm late to the party (two years? lol) but hopefully you can answer my question. It's about grooming ... I've heard some horror stories about matting etc ... some say that if you don't brush/comb them DAILY this can lead to matting issues. Other say you only need to give them a good brushing about once a week or so. What's your advice? (We're getting our pup in a couple of days!)

the cutest little family

Can you school me in clipping for the first time? We love Pet Food Warehouse’s tub room.

Dwight has one - that reference 🙂

Your doodles are BEAUTIFUL! What color are they?

Such an honest video, this is exactly how things are with my pup but she also pees when excited 🤦🏽‍♀️ have you guys experienced this?

Love this video, what size is Sylo? 😊

Hi what size are both of them (in inches)??

Slowest dogs I’ve ever been around lol, much prefer my pit/german shepherd mix’s smarts, but my cuddle machine is growin on me haha

I was going to name my dog every f'n puddle. Literally jumped in every fn puddle :)

Matting is the biggest con as they are doubly coated. Really do need to brush them a few times a week and groom at least twice a year

My doodle puppy thinks that a nice way to say "hi' is growling😅. He is such a friendly boy but his "hellos" are a little off-putting lol

Wait a minute…..the man of the house said to me ….. I….ME ……was the most beautiful Goldendoodle of the world. Molly Montréal, Canada

I would Ike a golden doodle someday. I have had three goldens at one time and I have had three poodles at a time. I am just really upset on the price

The problem I have with my doodle is that he’s way too friendly lol

Chest breed ever !

MYTH ! Suggesting a dog of any breed has predictable traits is the same as pigeonholing human beings... it's stereotyping. MYTH... Goldendoodles are intelligent and easy to train so your Doodle will be smart and easy to train and every Goldendoodle is smart and easy to train. Sorry, I can't buy it.
