Once again, we are level pegging with this category too! Due to being similarly sized, active, intelligent dogs, they need good food designed for busy breeds.

Love my black f2 goldendoodle, you have your information correct.
Me too. Will greatly appreciate it. I have an 8 month black female Labrador. I am looking to get another puppy when my Labrador is around 12 to 18 months of age. I have been looking at getting a Goldendoodle. Could anyone advise if this would be a good breed to get on with my loving, affectionate Labrador. I have been wanting a dog for as long as forever. My first step would be the dog idea then, the puppy. The only problem is… I have really bad allergies. I suffer from eczema that can sometimes worsen around my cat, or around my friends dogs.
Hi, I owned a Labradoodle quite a few years back 11 years. First of all, he was by far the sweetest, most loving, cuddly, easily trainable dog ever. Second of all, Ii got him because of his breed. My middle son had allergies to animals so we decided to try a less shedding dog. Jazz, my dog, did not Shedd. At all. And my son never reacted to him. I hope this helps. Good luck! We got a mini goldendoodle in september and she is the sweetest, friendliest, intelligent dog! Their high level of intelligence makes Labradoodles fairly easy to train, as a Labradoodle puppy is quick to learn new commands and has a strong desire to please its human companions.
Initially, Labradoodle training should focus on building a positive relationship between you and your dog. Your Labradoodle needs to know that it can trust you, so avoid yelling or making gestures that could be interpreted by the dog as threatening. During the first training session, establish yourself as the leader of the pack.
One way to establish yourself as the leader of the pack is to be careful not to give your dog too many treats. A treat should only be given when your Labradoodle follows a command. Otherwise, your dog will not understand its place in your family, and you may have trouble getting it to follow your rules. If you have children, make sure they know how to handle a puppy. Otherwise, your pup is likely to display undesirable behaviors as a response to stress.
Setting expectations helps ease anxiety and ensures that your canine companion knows what to expect while living with you. When you start training your Labradoodle, one of the most important things you can teach it is to wait patiently.
If you teach your dog to wait, you can avoid jumping and other undesirable behaviors in the future. The best way to accomplish this is to show the Labradoodle you have a treat and then ask it to sit and wait. If the dog runs toward you, paws at the treat or jumps on you, take the treat away. Only give your Labradoodle the treat if it sits and waits for you to take action.
Otherwise, your dog will think it can get what it wants by displaying undesirable behaviors. Due to the similarities in their personalities, the training methods for Labradoodles and Goldendoodles are fairly similar.
To socialize your Goldendoodle, take it to a local dog park or look for a puppy playgroup in your area. In a pinch, you can also invite friends and family members to come to your house and meet the dog. Just make sure everyone you invite knows how to interact with a puppy without scaring it or coming off as overly aggressive.
Once your dog is comfortable, start introducing it to new people and new circumstances. A hiker with a backpack, a person on a bicycle and someone wearing a hat are all people your dog should meet, as your puppy needs to get used to people who look and smell different from you. Goldendoodle have a long coat that is generally wavy but is sometimes straight.
Their coat will keep growing to around 6 inches if not trimmed. Many owners have regular grooming trips to keep their coats short and manageable. The coat colors you should expect mainly fall in the similar shade range that Golden Retrievers demonstrate; various shades of gold ranging from pale to darker caramels and reds.
They have a love for life that is infectious. They make everyone around them smile. These dogs love all people and all animals. With children, they have a natural gentleness and patience. The flipside of this pure love for people is their hatred for being left alone. If ignored and left without company, she will become depressed and withdrawn — not to mention destructive.
When bored, they will chew up anything in sight. What is great about the Goldendoodle is that you can leave them with anyone. You should always use positive reinforcement when training. They only want to please you and will not respond to punishment or raised voices. She love learning new games — fetch will likely be a staple in your day to day life. Whilst they are not good guard dogs, they are good watchdogs though.
They are likely to bark when someone is coming up to the house or if they hear any strange noises. If a puppy is listed for a much lower price than what you would expect, this is a warning sign. You should be aware that many puppy mills produce Goldendoodles that are poorly bred and unhealthy. The Labradoodle was originally bred by Wally Conron. He bred them to act as a guide dog for people with allergies. They have since gained in popularity, not just as a working dog but also as a companion animal.
Labradoodles are excellent first dogs. This is an extremely loyal dog that forms strong bonds with their families, much like the Goldendoodle. This breed is well suited to an active household. They love to go out on hikes and long walks.
These dogs especially love swimming, much like their Labrador parent. Labradoodles are highly intelligent and respond particularly well to training. If you want a low shedding working dog, the Labradoodle is a good bet. They make excellent family dogs.
Sometimes they play pretty roughly which an older dog may not appreciate. This is a breed that takes quite a while to mature and is known to behave in a puppy-like way for a long time. You can expect them to weigh between 45 and 80lbs.
They stand between 14 and 24 inches tall. Both Goldendoodles and Labradoodles also have a tendency to develop eye issues, including Progressive Retinal Atrophy, which will eventually lead to blindness.
Both breeds of dog are highly intelligent, which in turn, makes them highly trainable. This means that they make great service dogs as search and rescue dogs, guide dogs, or medical assistance dogs. They are particularly popular among people who need service dogs but suffer from dog hair allergies , as their low-shedding coat means that they give off less of the dander that triggers allergic reactions. Both breeds, but especially the Labradoodle, enjoy retrieving and will happily play fetch with you all day if you let them.
This makes them ideal for search and rescue type work, which may require dogs to seek out objects over vast distances and difficult terrain for several hours. Both dogs have a friendly temperament and are never aggressive. They are very unlikely to bark or snap at people if they have been properly raised and socialized. While they are generally very friendly with children, they can be a bit unconscious of their size and weight, and they may want to flop down on you or your kids.
Both Goldendoodles and Labradoodles also tend to get on well with other pets, as long as they have been properly socialized together. Goldendoodles are a little bit better in this respect, and Labradoodles can sometimes be a bit more stand-off-ish with new pets or new people.
This means that if you are looking for a pet to fit in with you family, including children and other pets, Goldendoodles can be a slightly better choice. Bear in mind that neither breed likes to be left alone for long periods of time, and may act out if left in the house alone for several hours. Their exact calorie intake depends on their size, but the average sizes Goldendoodle or Labradoodle will need about 1, calories per day, which should be split over two or three meals.
Lively animals, both Labradoodles and Goldendoodles need a lot of exercise. At a minimum, they will need 12 miles of exercise per week, including 60 minutes outside every day.
As can be seen, the Goldendoodle and Labradoodle are very similar dogs, but there are some key differences. First, Goldendoodles tend to have longer coats, while Labradoodles have a short wiry coat.
But the main difference is in their personalities. While both are friendly, Goldendoodles tend to be more enthusiastic and excitable and more easy going with people and other pets. Labradoodles display very similar behavior but can be more wary when coming across new people and animals for the first time. While both breeds are also very intelligent and highly trainable, Labradoodles tend to be more tenacious when it comes to completing tasks and love the stimulation of working.
