THE TRUTH ABOUT GOLDENDOODLES!! IS IT THE RIGHT BREED FOR YOU? 

For more Goldendoodle info check out our latest Doodle video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-31F7nI-KDVw.html

We have had 4 poodles, a black lab/golden mix (both parents AKC who had an unauthorized date), a chocolate lab/Visla mix, and 2 yellow labs in our 61 years of marriage. We recently adopted a "double-doodle" (father was golden retriever/poodle and mother was Lab/poodle). Our "Ellie" is, as you noted, the calmest, sweetest, most lovable dog we've ever been blessed with. At 81 & 83 (wife & I) years old, she's a blessing to us. She had her first camping trip with us this last week and was perfecty at home in this new environment.

Golden x Poodle = f1 f1 x poodle = f1b (frequently done to get the non-shedding) f1 x f1 = f2

We have a mini Goldendoodles F1b. He’s an amazing dog! He looks just like a golden retriever with wavy hair. He had straight hair but now it’s wavy. He’s 6 months old and 38 lbs.

I have a golden doodle and is the best Dogg everrr he is the most loving dog and goes everywhere with me THEY ARE THE BESTT

I have a 1 year-old f1b Goldendoodle and yes, he chews all his toys to pieces, doesn't shed, and does bring my entire backyard in with him after he goes out to play. I got him because I have a pool and wanted a water dog, but he is afraid of the pool.

We've had dogs (always 1 boy, 1 girl & both "fixed") for most of our 33 yrs of marriage. Now we have an F1B goldendoodle boy named Chester. We will never have another breed. He's the best dog we've ever had. Super affectionate, absolutely no aggression whatsoever. LOVES kids (we never had kids). Really good with strangers, amazing with any other dog. He's about as close to the perfect dog as we could ever imagine. He's 4 yrs old, we got him as a puppy. He even loves going to the groomers and the vets! Eternally happy boy.

We’re bringing our f1 standard golden doodle home 2 weeks after Christmas! I can’t wait, it will be a Male and I can’t stop binging golden doodle videos. Your dogs are just amazing

Your video is the most accurate info on goldendoodles. I have an first generation and he is sweet but stubborn. Too smart for his own good. Friends with Fb1 seem to have sweeter dogs than are much calmer. Thanks for posting!

As an owner of a 2 yr old golden doodle Bailey, I enjoyed hearing your discussion of the pros and cons and agree with much of your observations, Bailey is sweet, loving and needs to be close to us and loves to snuggle. One difference is that we have a pool, and Bailey does not want to swim, she'll go down 2 steps and sit in the water, but won't go in the pool. So yes she loves water, try to water your plants with a hose and she'll want to drink from the hose or chase the spray, but won't go in the pool with us. She doesn't know how to swim, and we've tried to teach her by holding her in the pool shallow end and push her towards the stairs, but that doesn't seem to work. We WISH she'd go into the pool with us. Anyways, thought I'd share that. thanx for your video. We LOVE our doodle.

I had one doodle that lived to 10 (cancer) that looked very much like your cream doodle...THE BEST dog in the world! So good that we knew we would never have another like her. Our current doodle is 4 and is crazier than anything...high energy, a barker (for sure) and a bit stubborn but we love her to pieces. She too eats anything and everything.. she doesn't carry toys like a soft-mouthed retriever, but DESTROYS every toy...except Bullymake toys and elk antlers! She has had Himalayan yak sticks but very expensive and she eats within a half hour at best. I don't like to fill her up on what I consider "treats". Bullymake makes toys for pitbulls..I know, I know. Funny. Your video is spot-on...all very true! Thanks! I'm now a subscriber and look forward to more! Take care. Nice family.

Love the recommendations, having an F1b in 8 weeks, trying to educate myself about the breed some more, by the way great content it was funny as well.

We have two wonderful goldendoodles who are sweet, living, and perfect doggos! We love their coats and different personalities. A lot of the nice things you guys say about doodles can be said about most dogs as long as they are loved and trained properly. Your dogs are beautiful 💓 Have you tried Himalayan Yak Cheese for chews?

Very informative video, thank you so much!! As for the heavy chewing, my recommendation would be bullymake subscription boxes, they are guaranteed that if the dog gets through the toy they will replace it with another. Had amazing feedback from clients who tried them (I work in a petstore). 😊❤️

We are getting a F1B doodle in August and your video just made me more excited. We decided to get a doodle as we can get a medium sized dog. We just lost our 14 year old Golden in Feb. and she was our 3rd. We aren't getting any younger so wanted a smaller dog. As far as chewing, our dogs have always had Nylabones which last a long time and clean their theeth.

Great information, thank you. My daughters and I really wanted a golden retriever but my husband has allergies so we’re now looking into getting a goldendoodle. Hopefully we’ll find the right fit for our family.

I absolutely love you guys. I just came upon your video but now I am a fan and have subscribed. I love family oriented RU-vidrs. Thank you so much.

We just got an adorable golden doodle “ “Luna” who is now almost 4 mos old! She is a great dog but bites quite a bit.... out vet said she’s going through the puppy stage and it will stop however she gets to the point where she she really hurts and has made us bleed ...we tried giving her chew toys to deter her, removing ourselves from her, telling her no in a firm voice etc but nothing gets her to stop !

Thinking of getting a Goldendoodle so this video is most informative.

I’m getting my standard doodle puppy tomorrow! I can’t wait! Love love yours!

My Aussie/lab mix can tear up anything too. My newly adopted mini Goldendoodle(1 month) so far hasn’t torn up toy completely like her

We have a golden/cocker that is 14 yrs old . She has slowed down a lot and she can't hear anymore but we sure do LOVE her!! We live in NC also!! Your fur babies are just precious! : - )

Thank You for such a Fantastic Funny Video! Your Love for Animals is so touching! Thank You for all the Information . I am so Excited to see if your Goldendoodle Puppies will bw my Fur Ever Pugppy! Smiles, Debbie

We have two Golden Doodles.. half brothers.. 18 months apart. Murphy the oldest is black and Moe the youngest is cream! The best thing we did was getting a second Dood gut Murphy! They are inseparable and when they go to daycare Murphy is a protective big brother to Moe. Not aggressively just kinda walk around if another gets too close protective! They are both F1B .. they love everybody!!

I came across this video because I’m getting married in November and looking into starting our family with a goldendoodle! Someone from my church will be breeding their doodles, and the puppies will be F2! I’m so excited!

Goldendoodles are the sweetest dogs, at least the ones that I've been around. Do you ever give them bones to chew, like steak bones.That way they'll get the goodness of the bone too. Your dogs are so cute. Thanks for all the info!

Chew toy, try Antler or Ram Horn's. These are very long lasting chews.

Great video! They are such beautiful dogs ☺💕

I live in Montana and my doodle gets "snow balls" attached when he runs around in the snow. To get the snow off, do not use a hair dryer. "Brush" them with a wire whisk, the same kind you use in the kitchen. It takes the balls of snow right off. Then the wet hair dries quickly with a little toweling.

You said air vent as our Abbey was laying on the air vent😂😂we love the golden doodle ❤️

You guys are fun to watch. I have a Australian Shepard who can eat through any toy so we keep it simple and get him the thick ropes. He loves playing tug o war or carrying it around. But I’ve just discovered the Goldendoodles! I think I’m obsessed now. Yours are gorgeous!

merci beaucoup for the tips !!

You are both dead on with the doodle personalities! I have an F1 and yes he sheds but it is worth any up keep! He is a great part of our family!

My F1b gets a bark box and she loves chewing fingers but has never ripped up her toys from bark box

Beautiful babies! The bark box subscription for super chewers is great!! My brother has a doberman that chews up other toys really fast but the bark box toys last her for months. Our lab loves the red barn white bones (we find them on amazon) and they last for a year or so. We don’t get the ones filled with anything. (:

I have an F2B and I love him so much

I just got one yesterday he's 7 weeks old & I named him nm don't want any1 stealing the name!!! But so far he is amazingest puppy & sweetest guy ever!!!

Love these dogs! Great breed! Henry is gonna take care of Eleanor! :)

Very generous sharing...thanks for your kindness.

We have a mini goldendoodle second generation I think and she is the best! We got her at 8 weeks and she is now......14 weeks I think. When you showed your dog standing there while you were eating I lOL-ed because Shasta does that. She doesn’t like her dog food and we’re on the third kind which she kinda eats but only a little at a time. She is a beautiful red color, doesn’t shed at all, doesn’t bark except when she’s being bossy, loves cuddles, and is so smart. I taught her to sit in like 15 minutes, to high five in like 15 minutes........so smart. We love her lots.

Thank you for sharing this video, I am sure I want a golden doodle for our new member of our family 🥰. I have been doing lots of research, this video made me fall in love with them even more. Xx

NC doodle owner here too! .........my doodle just got his first groom at 10m. Loved meeting your beauties on this vid

thank you for sharing. our boys always want to have one so this will help us

Cool that you are from NC. So am I. My Goldendoodle is Hendrix and we got him from doodles of nc in Burlington.

This is great- very informative- good humor- thanks- I have a had golden retrievers & cockapoo also.

Had a Golden Retriever... never knew how much shed, it was almost unbelievable ! Tough to make a dog understand they get no eggs if they stress the chickens ! All the best wished for your family, and a prayer for health and wellness !

Great video and info about Goldendoodles. Just found your channel and will be following you and your lucky dawgs. Rang the bell.

We love pups and your dogs are amazing.

Our mini goldendoodle is a chewer also. She just loves all of the benebone shapes that are flavored. Her latest favorite is the tripe! These things really last!!

Thanks for a great, entertaining video!! Our Goldendoodle is an F1, she's 4 months old and so many of the mannerisms you talk about certainly pertain to our doodle!

Excellent video showing me what to expect if I decide to get a goldendoodle dog.

My Ellie, which is a Goldendoodle (a F1bb, born 5-17-19, and has a wavy coat) she too is a chewer. What I've found that works is a VERY HARD plastic (I think it's plastic) bone that I bought at Fleet Farm store; Ellie really chews hard on it, but she has barely put a dent in it. She has now had this bone for over 6 months and it still is good. I've tried deer horns along with many other chew items. She loves the deer horns and they are VERY hard, but they don't last as long and they are very expensive. Ellie, is attached to my hip most of the time, she does shed but it isn't to bad and for some strange reason her hair is never on my clothes, I only find clumps of dust-bunny hair on the floor.

I love this breed they are so lovely and smart,great family companion .We are very happy with our F1B Beautiful Jazmine

Thanks for the video. Do you have any videos of how to breed and cross goldens, doodles and poodles? We have had many goldens over the years, and currently have 3 goldens, one doodle. One of the goldens is an English cream, he’s a puppy, the other two goldens are almost 2 yrs old. The doodle is 8 months old

I am looking for a small curly labradoodle or golden doodle. We raised two black labs for Guide Dogs for the Blind. The favorite toy for them is an apple juice bottle that bounces around and make a fun noise. Take the lid and ring off and replace it when it starts to get bitten edges. Basically every day. They played with those so joyfully it was fun to watch

great review, great place, great dogs, great family and great humans. thanks for the video. I want a golden doodle but we live in a flat with a small garden. Not sure is the right place for the dog, any advice? thanks

I’ve had two golden doodles that I rescued one was seven years old and one was nine years old.Both owners passed. Their groomer promised their owner she’d make sure she’d find a good home. I’d lost my 3 dogs in one month due to natural causes years earlier and had taken me years to get over. I decided to try a different breed and came across Gabby. Said she had cancer. And she had a sister. That if I adopted Gabby could I please take Daisy. I was just getting divorced and moving onto 20 acres. Sure. I’ve never regretted adopting those incredible dogs. They went every where with me. I lost Gabby last October at 14 years old and her sister 15 year old on the Friday of the start Pandemic. They do become your best friends. I still cry everyday. I know someday tears will turn to smiles but there’s not 1 day I faint regret getting a GoldenDoodle. And when ready I’m getting second generation to train into a service dog. I have severe osteoarthritis which is disfigured the bones in my hands. I can’t think of a better dog than a golden doodle because they want to please you.

Great stuff! Thank you!

Thanks for all the information. Very informative. I am planning to get one golden doodle. I want the dog to grow big so which generation should I go for? Also, which is easy to take care of male or female?

I have a gray Golden...such a sweet pooch.

My labradoodle just passed away at 12 from ibs and cancer....she was the sweetest dog ever.. we now have a golden retriever puppy he's about 9 months old can chew up Anything! And he sheds like crazy.... He's missing a front paw from an accident when. He was 6 weeks old at the breeders...it hasn't slowed him down at all... What to try and get him a prosthetic after he finishes growing...he's already over 70 lbs...

I'm looking to get a dog badly, i love dogs, but i'm not sure wish one is the best fit for me. I'm new on this search the best dog for me, and you guys are very helpful with your video, thank you so much! :)

Very cute fur babies

I have an extreme chewer...Goughnuts have been great!!! And they are guaranteed. Check out their website. We have also done Bully Make...they are a hard plastic as opposed to softer, more rubbery texture like the Goughnuts. Both have worked for us..

3:58 LMAO. that dog is like "Hey Mom...Just in case you wanted to give me any of that food..I'm right here."

My dachshund is an extreme chewer like he’s chewed a golf ball till it was completely gone I’ve found brushing his teeth has helped tremendously!

Golden-doodles are awesome dogs!

Thanks for this enjoyable and very informative video. We are planning to adopt another dog sometime late this year or early next and as fellow North Carolinians, we might be potential customers if y'all are making puppies available around that time frame. Two quick questions, please? Can this breed adapt to having cats around the house? Our dogs will be indoor/outdoor as we have a big, fenced in yard and the cats stay inside. And second, what weight do adults attain? Many thanks!

After 4 months with my puppy (ha ha- he's huge) I was thinking petrified wood. Got my fingers crossed on that . And for some reason he likes to pick up the cats by their heads or necks. Short of that, the cats love them. He chewed the plug and wire up from my brand new box fan. No it wasn't plugged in, thank God. Doggy day care does wonders for him. And me. Looking forward to more videos.

We have a 4 month old golden doodle. F1. Mom is a retriever and dad is a standard poodle. My only issue with him is he’s teething so he bites, gets on my furniture and jumps up although I don’t mind that he jumps up on me because I want to give h a hug when he does. I wish he would stop chewing my kids clothes while they wear them and snip them. 😞 I love him I don’t want to give up on him because I think about it

Have you tried Yak cheese which is a solid piece of cheese from yak milk. You can get them on Amazon. My Newfypoo is an extreme chewer and he cannot destroy these and it last quite a long time.

I bet your F1b takes more after some poodle characteristics! 😊 Most standard poodle don’t get their curls until they are older and half of the time their color lightens. For example, silver poodles are born black.

Thanks 🙏

We have an f1b mini she weighs 30lbs she is 6 years old. Ours can play all day long and never get tired but she minds very well and loves to lounge if she knows she can't go anywhere. Ours hated water but since we went to Colorado last year she found out she does like water and is getting braver and braver. Ours is the same way on chew toys. She will focus on one spot till she gets it open then goes to town,

Hello Great video, regarding the chew, give this ago Nylabone Dura Chew you can get them on amazon for about £ 4 . Very hard wearing and will last months

Enjoyed your video. For a chewer I would suggest a deer antler, they normally sell them at the pet store. It takes a long time to chew it.

I have a golden doodle, my daughter bought her a lamb toy that is the only one she has not destroyed and she guards it.

I have Aussiedoodle’s and they are chewers as well. I can’t tell you how much money I have spent on ‘indestructible’ chew toys to have them shredded within minutes! I have found some at Duluth Trading that we’ve had for over a month now and they still look brand new! If you don’t have a store in your area, go to their web site or just google Duluth.

We just got our first doodle he 12 weeks old had him 2 days and we are working on house braking him, I was so frustrated this morning he kept going everywhere 😪but as the day went on he got better,

We have had the best luck with elk antlers. But our F1 Bo is 1.5 yrs and serious chewer.

Benebone for aggressive chewing. I have an F1 Goldendoodle and he's the best 😍

Good info....thanks

This is more of a opinion of their two dogs,not the breed. Most tend to be,high energy,very loving and a little quirky/crazy and mischievous for more than the traditional 2 years in my experience. Took my doodle 9 years to calm down. Wasn't the easiest dog to to raise but the most rewarding. All in all a GREAT dog.

Have you tried deer antlers? Most of our family uses them with their dogs, mostly labs.

Our GoldenDoodle Burt LOVED to run away from us and often be by himself. He was second gen and a madman.

Safari comb. F1B golden. The Safari comb is great for getting rid of matts and tangles.

We have a golden doodle and live in Iowa and Northern Minnesota, and they love the cold and snow. I actually have a hard time getting them inside in the winter.

My Wife and I will be getting a f1b soon :)

Our mini gold doodles favorite chew toy is "Pet stages dogwood"

First generations always shed some. Shedding is a dominant gene so that’s why it takes a couple generations to fully weed it out. Some F1Bs even shed some, still fully hypoallergenic but until they’re an F2B you’re going to have a crap shoot on that shedding happening or not

For the best toy use elk antler cut into roughly 5-6”.

Buffalo horn for chew bone. Purchase in Yellowstone

It funny hearing that your second generation is calmer than your first. We have the total opposite. Our f1 is way more calm and chill than our f1b. The f1b bounces all over the place and is highly excitable and more stubborn than our f1.

I love your babies; we have a 15 month old Golden Doodle and a 12 year old Golden Retriever. The Golden never chewed up one toy. The doodle is quite the opposite. I had to put the toys away for fear of someone getting really sick so here is my suggestion. We have found one toy to date that is working. After several months it is still in tact. It is called "My Dog Toy". If you google them you will see all the toys available. We have tried the lobster and the toucan. They have held up amazingly but remember we don't have two in for the chew. They are expensive but I had to have something to trip over in the middle of the night and they just love them. Check them out; I have no affiliation they are just great toys. I do recommend that as the company states "cut off any threads as they appear" (only seems to happen at first). Aren't they all wonderful; thanks for sharing your kids. Sara

Kong has a new line “Core” that has a reinforced inner lining. My Dood hasn’t been able to tear through it and he tears thru every toy as well

Have a F1 Golden. The most loving dog that I have ever owned. Doesn't like the crate, sleeps on floor right next to me.

We have one and I am 80 and had dogs all my life and she can be really good, bur I am afraid she is agressive at times she growls and bites at me and we tell her no but she really goes for me. My daughter says she is just a puppy, she is 9 months old

Just got me a goldendoodle,rescue, love him to death. Have no idea if he is a f1 or fb or however you describe them but he is so bushy. I need info on a good shampoo for doggy odors. Keep up the good info. It helps me out being a beginner. Thanks so much....

We are getting our mini doodle in July. They were born 2 weeks ago and get to go see them in a couple weeks. We are 9th pick so kinda nervous 😬

Nice video!
