Origin & breeding process of Goldendoodle dogs

Learn about the origins of the Goldendoodle.

In the late 20th century, a trend of creating “designer breeds” became popular. By the mid-1990s, Goldendoodles were being purposely bred in the United States and Australia with the goal of combining the best traits of two popular breeds, the Golden Retriever and the Poodle, as follows:

• Friendly, intelligent, easy to train dog breed Golden Retriever
• Low shedding, low allergy risk and the cute, charming appearance of the Poodle

The Goldendoodle breeding process goes like this:

• First generation Goldendoodle (F1): Purebred Golden Retriever x Purebred Poodle - produces puppies with the physical characteristics and neutral personality of both parents.
• Goldendoodle F1B: Goldendoodle F1 x Poodle - increased shedding resistance
• F2 Goldendoodle: F1 Goldendoodle x F1 Goldendoodle
• There is also a mini Goldendoodle, medium Goldendoodle by crossbreeding with a small Poodle.

Because they are hybrids, Goldendoodles are not recognized by the American Kennel Club - AKC and similar organizations. However, they still have their own dog breeding community such as the Goldendoodle Association of North America (GANA).

Nowadays, thanks to its cute, adorable appearance, easy care, low shedding,... Goldendoodle has gradually become one of the most popular hybrid breeds in the world and is used for many purposes such as therapy dogs, emotional support dogs and high-end pets.
