Friendly: Mini Goldendoodles love both humans and other animals. They thrive on human company, and it doesn’t usually matter if it is with their owners or strangers. As a result, they do not make good guard dogs and sometimes get separation anxiety if left alone for long periods of time.

Affectionate: Even though they are friendly to strangers, Mini Goldendoodles
still have a special bond with their owners. They quickly become attached to people they spend a lot of time with, and they never tire of being with their owners and family.

Small Size: Mini Goldendoodles are a smaller size and weight which makes them better suited for apartments and small homes. They still do require regular moderate exercise, and they don’t do well if they are kept penned-up or caged for long periods of time.

Sociable: Mini Goldendoodles love spending time with humans, and they play well with the family and children. No matter what the family is doing, Mini Goldendoodles want to be a part of the action!

Trainable: With their friendly temperament and intelligence, Mini Goldendoodles are one of the easier breeds to train. They respond well to training that is done consistently and properly, and they soon become accustomed to house rules and expectations.

In the mid-1900s, breeders began crossing Poodles with several breeds, the most popular being Labrador Retrievers and Cocker Spaniel.

The resulting breeds, known as Labradoodles and Cockapoos, became popular in the United States, and especially among families.

As a result, Golden Retrievers were bred with miniature and toy Poodles in the late 1900s to create the Mini Goldendoodle breed.

Mini Goldendoodles are still a relatively young breed, and many today are first-generation Mini Goldendoodles.  As a result, the breed is not recognized by any major breed registry.  

However, there are many clubs and online organizations dedicated to Mini Goldendoodles, and these are excellent resources for meet-ups, tips & tricks, and other breed-specific news.

While Mini Goldendoodles vary in size based on the size of the Poodle used, Mini Goldendoodles are an average 13-20 inches in height at the shoulder and weigh 15-30 pounds.

Most Mini Goldendoodles live 10-15 years.

Because it is a hybrid breed, the exact coat markings and features do vary from puppy to puppy.

However, most Mini Goldendoodles do favor the Poodle side of the breed and will often have the curlier, shorter hair of the Poodle.

Even though they favor the coat of a Poodle, Mini Goldendoodles still require regular care and grooming. It is recommended that you groom your Mini Goldendoodle’s coat several times a week.

Their coats and skin usually create natural body oils, and this results in regular baths not being required unless the body is unnaturally dirty.

 Because they are still a young breed, not much is known specifically about the overall health of the Mini Goldendoodle breed.  However, there are no known health risks, and if you choose a reputable breeder, your Mini Goldendoodle puppy should not have any significant health issues.

Because of their long, floppy ears, it is also important to regularly check the ears for signs of infection.  Whenever your Mini Goldendoodle gets wet, make sure the hair inside the ears completely dries out. 

Like all dogs, Mini Goldendoodles are susceptible to hip and elbow dysplasia.

Hip and elbow dysplasia occurs when the leg or hip becomes weakened, and it can result in arthritis or lameness if not addressed.

One of the best ways to prevent this is by keeping your dog from excessive running on hard surfaces.  This is especially vital when they are a puppy.

 While Mini Goldendoodles are popular for being more hypoallergenic than Golden Retrievers, it does not mean they are entirely allergen-free.

Allergens are caused by dander, which is dead skin cells.  These skin cells are shed by any animal, including humans. Mini Goldendoodles will typically shed less than standard Golden Retrievers, but this does not eliminate dander or allergens.

If you have a family member with allergen concerns, it is always good to consult with your family physician.
