What is a Goldendoodle?

A Goldendoodle is a hybrid cross between a Golden Retriever and a Poodle. They are known for their affectionate nature, intelligence, and friendly temperament, making them wonderful family and companion dogs.

​

What is an Ultimate Doodle?

An Ultimate Doodle is a cross between a Golden Retriever, Labrador, and Poodle. Because they are further down the generations, their size and temperament are slightly more predictable. They are typically medium to standard in size and make excellent family companions.

​

How big will my puppy grow?

Size depends on the parents and the type of Poodle used (Toy, Miniature, or Standard). While breeders can estimate adult size, it can never be guaranteed. Ultimate Doodles are generally easier to estimate and are usually medium to standard sized.

​

Are Goldendoodles and Ultimate Doodles good family dogs?

Yes! Both breeds are extremely loyal, gentle, and loving. They are fantastic with children and get along well with other animals. Their friendly nature makes them ideal family pets and service dogs.

​

Do they make good guard dogs?

No — and proudly so! These breeds are very social and welcoming. They are far more likely to greet strangers than guard your home.

​

Can they live in apartments?

They adapt well to both city and country living but are not ideally suited to apartment life. They thrive best in homes with space and access to a garden.

​

Can they live outside or in kennels?

No. Goldendoodles and Ultimate Doodles are people-focused dogs and do not cope well living outdoors or in kennels. They need to be part of the family.

Are they easy to train?

Yes. Both breeds are highly intelligent and eager to please, making them easy to train. They do especially well in puppy classes and benefit greatly from ongoing training.

​

Do they need socialisation?

Absolutely. Early socialisation is essential to help prevent shyness or fearfulness and to ensure they grow into confident, well-adjusted adults.

​

Do they suffer from separation anxiety?

They can if independence is not encouraged early. Puppies should be  taught to be comfortable spending time alone to help prevent separation anxiety later in life.

​

Do they shed?

Shedding varies depending on coat type. Some coats are low-shedding, while smoother coats may shed lightly.

​

Are they hypoallergenic?

No breeder can (or should) guarantee a hypoallergenic puppy. Families with allergies should spend time with a Goldendoodle or Ultimate Doodle before committing, as only your allergies can determine suitability.

​

What coat types are available?

Coats and colours vary and include:

• Smooth coats – Low maintenance, minimal grooming, light shedding

• Wavy coats – Require regular grooming.

• Curly coats – Require frequent home grooming and professional grooming every 6–8 weeks

Each coat type has its own benefits and grooming needs.
