Hagrid is a GoldenDoodle!
The Goldendoodle is a cross between a Standard Poodle and a Golden Retriever with the hopes of obtaining the best of both breeds. It shouldn’t be difficult with this combination: the Golden and the Poodle both love the water, are intelligent, eager-to-please, love to play and are eager to learn. Their common hunting and swimming background predicts a willing companion.
Both of these animals average around 50-60 pounds and stand about 22-25 inches tall, so the Goldendoodle should be about the same size. The Golden Retriever and the Poodle are both a solid color dog, with the Poodle bringing more color variety into the mix. Most Golden doodles grow the Poodle coat, although some don’t. Those with the Poodle coat will need regular grooming and an indoor home to prevent mats. Teddy has the Golden Retriever coloring.
Golden doodles need a regular training program that will give them mental stimulation or they will become bored and find alternate methods to fill their time. They should be active, playful, amiable dogs that need plenty of exercise to prevent gaining weight as they grow older.
We are pleased to welcome Hagrid to our practice!
