Goldendoodle

General Description

This is a very active dog who is smart and busy and will need training if you want any hopes of a quiet life! They are a joy to train as both the breeds are intelligent and love working with their owner, but they will learn bad habits as quickly as good ones so reward-based training should start early and be ongoing.

General Health

They include hip dysplasia, a skin disease called sebaceous adenitis, a heart condition called subvalvular aortic stenosis, Addison's disease, and eye diseases such as progressive retinal atrophy, cataracts and glaucoma.

Character and Temperament

Intelligent, energetic, friendly and trainable

Exercise

These are high-energy dogs that are likely to need around two hours of exercise per day. As they are also very intelligent, they will probably want to play and be engaged at home as well as out on walks.
