The Goldendoodle is a hybrid or a cross breed between the standard Poodle and the Golden Retriever.  It should be noted that the Goldendoodle is not a purebred dog and as a result they are not a registered breed even when both parents are purebred and registered.  First generation Goldendooles are produced from purebred Poodles and Golden Retrievers, producing an F1 Goldendoodle.

Goldendoodles were specifically bred to be low-shedders, and if you have allergies, they are great.  The coat may be straight, wavy or curly. The exact amount of grooming that will be required for this dog will depend on exactly which type of coat it inherits from the parents. There are also different coat colors that may be blonde, white, tan, chocolate, café, silver, black, red, phantom or even a mix.
