Goldendoodle Puppies for Sale

Today, the Goldendoodle is one of the most popular family breeds, and for good reason. Golden Retrievers have for decades been one of the most popular breeds in America, given their family-friendly and loving temperaments. At the same time,Poodles have made excellent additionsto the gene pool of other dog breeds, given their intelligence, athleticism, low-shedding hair, and loving nature. Together, these two breeds have created a viable super-breed for families all over the world. If you are looking for a friendly, sociable, and energetic family companion, the Goldendoodle will almost certainly be a match.

Goldendoodles have several potential fur colors, including cream, apricot, brown, chocolate, black and multicolored. On average, a majority of Goldendoodle pups are a creamy-red color, with floppy ears and a tail that can grow quite long and bushy as they reach adulthood.

Goldendoodles are available in a range of sizes thanks to breeders having mixed the Golden Retriever with all sizes of Poodle (Toy, Miniature and Standard). Standard Goldendoodles typically weigh 45 to 70 lb. Medium sized Goldendoodles usually weigh 30-45 lb. Mini Goldendoodles are usually less than 30 lb. in weight.

As with other hybrid dog breeds, Goldendoodles aren’t purebred and so aren't officially recognized by breed clubs like the American Kennel Club (AKC) or the United Kennel Club (UKC). This is because of these dogs' lack of standardization in terms of size, shape, hair, etc.

However, there are registries dedicated to doodles and Goldendoodles, where your pup can be registered. Examples of these organizations includeThe Goldendoodle Registry.and theAmerican Doodle Registry.Joining such groups is a good way to meet other Goldendoodle owners, partake in breed-oriented activities, and learn more about the health, development, and genetics of your dog.

As a mixed breed, the Goldendoodle tends to be healthier than its purebred Poodle or Golden Retriever parents. This is because purebred dogs can be more exposed to inherited genetic diseases that result from selective breeding. However, Goldendoodles are still exposed to some health conditions common in Poodles and Golden Retrievers, including Dysplasia, Sebacious Adenitis (a skin disease causing hair loss), Addison's Disease (leading to hormonal issues), Subvalvular Aortic Stenosis (a heart disease that can limit activity), and cataracts. Ethical breeders conduct genetic testing for their breeding parents to minimize the incidence of these conditions. That said, even if your puppy has been genetically screened, it's important to regularly have your Goldendoodle checked by a vet; early detection and treatment can help your pet live a happier and healthier life.

This is the most common vaccination schedule set out by veterinarians for Goldendoodle puppies:

1. 6 weeks: Distemper/Parvo/Parainfluenza vaccine and a Kennel Cough vaccine. These should be given before you take your new puppy home.
2. 9 weeks: Distemper/Parvo/Parainfluenza booster and a Kennel Cough booster.
3. 12 weeks: Distemper/Parvo/Parainfluenza booster, Leptospirosis vaccine and the Influenza vaccine.
4. 15 to 16 weeks: Distemper/Parvo/Parainfluenza booster, Leptospirosis booster, Canine Influenza booster and Rabies vaccine.

There's a lot of variability from Goldendoodle to Goldendoodle when it comes to barking. Some owners report high barking levels whereas others report low levels of barking. On average, Goldendoodles are not known to be big barkers. They tend to be bark when excited, scared, or to alert their owner's attention to something. If your Goldendoodle pup is barking excessively, it's worth consulting your vet or a trainer regarding this behavior. It may be signaling a deeper problem that requires attention.

The price of Goldendoodle puppies for sale varies by breeder, location, size, and age of the pup, amongst other factors. On average, Goldendoodle puppies are posted for sale between $1,000 and $3,500 by reputable breeders. Puppies from top pedigrees or with extensive genetic screening typically cost more. Also, mini Goldendoodles can be more expensive than medium or standard sizes, given popular demand for smaller puppies.

The most common coat for Goldendoodles is a wavy or curly coat, which makes for easy grooming and house tidying. If you do have a straight-haired Goldendoodle, you’ll have a bit more grooming on your hands—but just as many snuggles and games. If you are particularly concerned about your dog’s coat, you may want to wait a few months or look at bringing home a slightly older dog. Goldendoodles lose their puppy coats between 4-8 months of age, at which point you’ll be able to see what type of adult coat grows in.

Poodles have one of the best coats for allergy sufferers, since they shed relatively little. The same can be said for Goldendoodles who inherit these curly, wavy, soft coats. However, there are no dogs with a purelyhypoallergenic coat—only fur that is less likely to set off an allergic reaction! Goldendoodles do shed, but significantly less than German Shepherds or Labrador Retrievers, both of which are notorious for leaving fur around the house.

The best starting point is to chat with your vet about the right puppy food for your new family member. Puppy foods contain more calories and nutrients present in their mother’s milk. Puppies have different nutritional needs than adult dogs, and vets usually suggest a combination of high-energy dry food and high-quality wet food.

Your puppy needs a specific amount of food every day, depending on the protein and caloric content of the food you choose. It’s best to feed your dog at the same times every day to form a routine and a sense of stability for him or her. After about a year of puppy meals, it’s time to transition to adult dog food. Again, talk with your vet about the best choices! Their opinion will be different depending on whether your dog is part Standard Poodle, Mini Poodle, or Toy Poodle. For most Medium Goldendoodles, you can use the same adult dog foods made for Poodles or Golden Retriever.

It’s safe to say that these sweet fluffy dogs make great companions for just about anyone—whether that’s a singleton who spends most of their time traveling in a camp trailer, or a whole family with a country home. Goldendoodles need love, play and attention just as much as they need a good meal and a roof over their heads. Take one of these adorable puppies home, and you’ll never be without an activity buddy (or cuddle buddy) again!
