About Goldendoodles

Goldendoodles are a cross between the second and fourth most intelligent dog breeds in the world - a Poodle and a Golden Retriever.

Goldendoodles are the perfect family pet, combining the elegant yet silly nature of the Poodle with the friendly and social behavior of the Golden Retriever. Plus you get a very smart, easily trained puppy.

Goldendoodles are low to non-shedding, making them a popular choice for families with allergies. They are considered hypoallergenic.

 

The Golden Retriever

 

Golden Retrievers are the classic family companion. They are obedient, playful, intelligent, well-mannered, great with kids, and take kindly to strangers. They are good watchdogs, but make lousy guard dogs as they love people far too much to be effective. Golden Retrievers are always at the top of their obedience classes and are often the champions of sporting competitions. Hunters find them to be reliable bird dogs. Their keen sense of smell and desire to work alongside people makes them sought-after service dogs.

The Standard Poodle

The Standard Poodle is one of the most obedient and smartest dogs, which combines a playful enthusiasm and an adventurous spirit. They are natural hunters. They are fond of swimming, running, and retrieving. Although they are shy with strangers, they are loyal to their family and are very good with children. Poodles are non-shedding and considered hypoallergenic.

Golden Retriever + Standard Poodle = The Perfect Family Pet

Here at Strong Oaks Goldendoodles we only allow the absolute highest quality, health tested dogs into our breeding program. Crossbreeding these top quality purebred dogs results in puppies that are healthier than either of their parents. The reasoning behind this is because each breed is generally prone to different genetic problems. Hybrids such as Goldendoodles are only likely to inherit health problems that are found in both Golden Retrievers and Poodles. Goldendoodles, therefore, have what is known as “Hybrid Vigor,” and can be expected to live longer and healthier lives than their parents.

Through meticulous breeding practices Goldendoodle puppies should have the best attributes of the Golden Retriever and the Poodle. A properly bred and trained Goldendoodle should be smart, loving, friendly, social, loyal, affectionate and playful. The Goldendoodles love for work, intelligence and eager-to-please personality make them an excellent choice as a service dog.

Goldendoodles enjoy an active lifestyle. They love to run, play and go hiking. Most Goldendoodles inherit both the Golden Retriever and Poodles love of the water and retrieving. After a long day playing the Goldendoodle is more than happy to cuddle up next to you (or on your lap) for a nice nap.

Difference in Goldendoodle Generations

First generation Goldendoodles are identified with the letters “F1.”   These are the product of a pure Golden Retriever bred with a pure Poodle, making the resulting doodle 50% Poodle and 50% Golden Retriever.   F1 doodles possess all of the traits that make Goldendoodles such desirable dogs.  This includes marked intelligence, a loving demeanor, and hypoallergenic qualities.  However, it is important to note that some F1 Goldendoodles shed lightly to moderately, so are better for homes with only slight allergies. F1 Doodles tend to have a shaggy or wavy coats, but can occasionally have a very curly coat.

All I can say is WOW! I am 24 just recently married and the puppy Strong Oaks Gave us is a young couples DREAM! We got a little girl and we haven’t even had her two weeks yet, and she is sleeping through the night, and follows commands better than adult dogs! Whenever I reached out to Strong Oaks whether through email or text they responded in seconds! I would recommend to anyone! I’ve had a golden doodle before and thought no other dog could beat the one I had to put down after 13 years…. but I think I am going to be wrong because this little pup we got is already outstanding!! We love her so much and couldn’t be more thankful! Thank you Strong Oaks!🐶❤️

We are thankful we found the Strongs! After recently loosing our beloved pet of 13 yrs, we were ready for a new addition to our family. We did some research and decided a Goldendoodle was the dog for us. Through FB we connected with the Strongs and felt like they were the breeders for us. I am happy to say we were 100% correct! They were extremely professional every step of the way; providing us with vet records, a written contract, helping to match us with the puppy that was right for our family, and since we live 2 hrs away, they were happy to meet us half way. We are thrilled to say that they brought us the most precious bundle of love who is now named Bear. It was love at first sight! He is a happy and healthy boy and so, so sweet. We would 100% recommend Strong Oaks Goldendoodles to our friends and family!
