Breed History
Like their Labradoodle companions, the Goldendoodle is the result of North American and Australian breeders crossing dog breeds in an attempt to create a truly hypoallergenic guide dog....
In the 1990s, breeders began crossing Golden Retrievers with Poodles. This hybrid is relatively new on the designer dog breed scene, which means that most Goldendoodle breeders are still creating first-generation puppies between Golden Retrievers and Poodles, as opposed to crossing Goldendoodle parents.
