Poodle crossbreeds are meant to produce a dog with mixed traits and the Poodle’s signature nonshedding coat. the Mini Goldendoodle has seen a recent surge in popularity.   Here at Puppies up North, we raise F1 Mini Goldendoodles Size: The Mini Goldendoodle has an average 14-16 inches tall and weigh approximately 25-40 lbs depending on the parents. 

As a crossbreed, the Goldendoodle has a wide variety of appearances. Those with more Poodle influence tend to have a thinner coat and shorter muzzle, whereas the Golden Retriever influence results in a wider neck, and longer muzzle. Goldendoodles can have short or long ears; most have a ‘V’-shaped ridge from the forehead to the nose. Coat: The Mini Goldendoodles coat is a cross between the Golden Retriever and Poodle coat. It has fine hairs which appear quite thick. It can be curly or straight, most fall somewhere in the middle. Unclipped, the hair will grow about 4-7 in in length. Unlike the Poodle, the Mini Goldendoodles should not be clipped any shorter than 2 in, as the coat provides natural protection in heat and cold. Depending on the Poodle influence, the Mini Goldendoodles can come in a wide variety of colors including white, tan, chocolate, black, red, silver, or a mix thereof. A variety of colors and coat textures can appear in the same litter. Depending on the source breeds, the Mini Goldendoodles may shed little to none like the Poodle or shed moderately like the Golden Retriever.

Generally, the lower generations are better for allergy sufferers. Most Poodle crosses will go through various coat phases in their first year of life. Character: The Mini Goldendoodles is intelligent, friendly, and family oriented. It is a highly social dog. Mini Goldendoodles tend to follow their nose wherever it leads, so a fenced-in yard is recommended. They are always ready for a game; most Mini Goldendoodles retain the natural retrieving instincts of the Golden Retriever. The Mni Goldendoodle’s friendliness with strangers makes it a poor watchdog. Goldendoodles do not bark frequently. Temperament: Mini Goldendoodles love to be with their family. They are eager to please and get along well with children, other animals, and strangers.  They are social dogs and crave being around people. Care: The Mini Goldendoodlse requires some brushing or combing every few weeks. Mini Goldendoodles have a lifespan of 9-15 years. They are prone to most health issues affecting Golden Retrievers and Poodles, including hip dysplasia, ear infections, and eye problems such as cataracts, but as a mixed breed they are somewhat less likely to suffer health problems than purebreds (known as ‘hybrid vigor’).

Mini Goldendoodles can live happily on a farm or in a big city. They will thrive with daily walks or play time. How can I tell them apart? When our puppies are first born, I put a piece of yarn around their neck. I spend a minimum of 5-6 hours a day with these puppies: holding, changing soft blankets, cuddling, taking care of mama and her needs, teaching, tickling, cuddling, working through their 100 point socialization skills, cuddling, potty training, cuddling, … oh and did I say I love to cuddle with them? 

What are the parents like? We make every effort to make sure that our mamas are fed and watered properly before giving birth. What will the puppies come with? All puppies will come with lots of love to give.

Ask a QuestionAbout Golden Retrievers AnonymousCan a golden retriever and a black lab produce a brindle coat offspring? 1 CommentAnonymousThe Golden Retriever breed can only be light gold, to golden to dark gold or red. While the Labrador can only be yellow, black, red, chocolate and blue (a lighter version of the black lab). The brindle coat coloration is not allowed in either breed, so an offspring of a Golden Retriever and a Black Labrador can not have a brindle coat.

AnonymousWhat are the best medium to large sized dogs (such as a Golden Retriever) for apartment life, if any? 1 CommentAnonymousThe main thing about owning a dog in an apartment is exercise, exercise, and more exercise. A tired dog is a good dog and a tired dog will be calm and quiet while their owner is away during the day. As per your request, here is a list of a couple breeds that would work but of course, would need daily exercise to live comfortably in an apartment. English Bulldog (30 minutes, morning/night), Cocker Spaniel (Hour, morning/night), Shetland Sheepdog (Hour, morning/night), Bull Terrier (Hour, morning/night), Shar-Pei (45 minutes, morning/night), Basset Hound (45 minutes, morning/night) though remember a hound is a hound and could be problematic with barking/howling if left alone too long. The Golden Retriever could possibly work well as long as the dog is well exercised, an hour morning/night. An adult or senior dog would do best in an apartment as they could hold themselves until you get home too.

Your local shelter/rescue will have a lovely selection of dogs that need homes that could work well in an apartment depending on the breed and exercise requirements.AnonymousCan you help prevent cancer in a Golden? 2 CommentsAnonymousSadly, there is no way to prevent cancer in the Golden Retriever breed. Many vets now consider the breed as the Cancer Retriever compared to the Golden Retriever. However, there are steps you can take to hopefully lower the percentage of your dog getting cancer. Breeding is a big one, doing your research and making sure that the breeder has done extensive testing on their dogs. Contact your breeder's breeder even and see how their dogs all passed away. Food is another one, making sure you dog eats a high quality, grain-free dog food that is free of artificial junk that lower dog food companies add into their dog foods.AnonymousWatch what you feed Golden Retrievers. More natural is the best and avoid chemicals, by products and lots of exercise.. But Goldens do get cancer..

Watch for sneezing a lot.. Not allergiesAnonymousAre Golden Retrievers good with little children? 1 CommentAnonymousThe Golden Retriever breed is known to be great with children, however, as every dog is different you need to socialize your new pup to children. All interactions between a child or children and a pup or dog should be supervised at all times. Children can accidentally injure or frighten a pup or dog and the pup or dog can because wary and even aggressive towards children if the dog viewed the child as a threat.AnonymousOur Golden Retriever passed away last year and we are now looking to get another Golden or Goldendoodle. Our Golden had hip problems and skin problems. But her disposition was uncanny. Which breed would be better? 2 CommentsAnonymousA well-bred dog from a reputable, responsible and knowledgeable breeder will cut down your chances of getting a dog with hip/skin problems. However, please be aware that hip problems are prone in the Golden breed, so most dogs have problems with their hips later on in their life.

I would not recommend a Golden Retriever/Poodle cross if you are looking for a well-formed temperament and knowledge as to how the dog is going to look/act/be health wise when grown up. When mixing breeds, the temperaments of each breed are mixed as well, meaning that every puppy from the litter could have a different temperament.AnonymousSome could take all the best in both breeds, some can take all the worst qualities and then some can take a mix of both. With health being a concern of your's, when mixing breeds of dogs sometimes the health can be better in the dog, sometimes worse. Same as always, the puppy could take all the best or all the worst, you never know. I would recommend finding a trustworthy Golden Retriever breeder in your area and going from there.
