Goldendoodle vs Labradoodle - Choosing a Puppy

Rocadog QnA video about differences between goldendoodles and labradoodles

SHORT GOLDENDOODLE DESCRIPTION:
Goldendoodles are a relatively new dog breed, first appearing in America in the 1990s. Their adorable name was coined in 1992. While not officially a registered breed of their own, Goldendoodles are considered a "designer breed" because each of their parents is a purebred, but different breeds from each other.

Goldendoodles are gentle and affectionate dogs with an easy-going temperament. They are extremely intelligent, and according to the Goldendoodle Association of North America, they score in the top 4 of the 150 smartest breeds. They have an extremely social personality and love to be with their fur parents.

SHORT LABRADOODLE DESCRIPTION:
Labradoodles come in 3 sizes: Miniature, Medium, and Standard. Miniature Labradoodles are 14-16 inches tall and weigh 15-30 lbs. Medium Labradoodles are 17-21 inches tall and weigh 30-45 lbs. Standard Labradoodles are 21-24 inches and weigh 45-100 lbs.

The Labradoodle typically acquires the friendliness and well-tempered nature of their parent breeds. Likewise, they are considered very intelligent and highly trainable. Like Labs, they are amazing family dogs and are both good with children and loyal. Like Poodles, they are very smart and can be protective of their people. They're fun-loving, affectionate, athletic, graceful and highly active dogs.

What a wonderful comparison between two similar breeds. You have answered detailed questions that will help me decide which breed to look at.

I have a golden doodle and a poodle. My poodle is AKC registered. I am not a breeder. Love them both dearly, but my golden doodle was the easiest to train. She is unbelievably intelligent. Never knew a dog could be so smart. I wouldn’t have commented on this video at all. However, I felt compelled to do so.

My labradoodle is the best dog ever! He is super outgoing, he LOVES all dogs and people. He definitely doesn't hold back and observe, he wants to be in on the action of meeting new people and dogs. He is pretty chill at home.

I have a Labradoodle that is a wonderful extrovert. He is friendly with all people and all dogs . He is extremely vibrant with high energy. He is obeys well is extremely intellegent. He greets all who come to our home with the wag of his tail and is never hostile. When I watched your video, It seemed that what you said about the Goldendoodle was true of my Labradoodle. I am 77 years old and have had dogs all of my life (different breeds) and this Labradoodle is a joy.

[hpranchranch]

I think they are both fun breeds. Don't forget the huge influence the Poodle has on both! Standard poodles are wonderful and very easy to train. The cross with these two breeds is a wonderful family pet.

Hello there,   I am sensitive to sounds - barking. My qustion then is if any of these breeds are more easy to learn to not bark?

[judedang]

I got a golden doodle but mines grey and white does that mean it’s rare??

[EOTA]

Golden Retriever + Standard Poodle temperament is just incredible. The GR’s friendliness plus the SP’s attentiveness and alertness just makes for an amazing dog in my opinion.

[lorenrenee]

I don’t know. My labradoodle is incredibly outgoing and friendly to everyone we meet human and dog alike. I’ve yet to see him unenthusiastic about anyone.

For all the pure breed experts out there claiming this mixture is a MUTT, hate to tell you this but all your pure breed dogs can be traced back to one common ancestor if you go back far enough...(some claim the first dog was the Afghan Hound ;) What the first dog was is debatable...but all breeds were developed through time from breeding programs to get different traits and mixed eventually from multiple breeds to get the variety we see today, so don't be all, oh that isn't a breed, it is a mutt...eventually many "cross breeds" become NEW BREEDS in purpose, form, function and style recognized by the kennel clubs..and I hate to say it, but often times breeders in the "kennel clubs" ruin the form and function of the breeds they claim to love so much (English Bull dogs now have breathing issues with their smashed snouts, German Shepherds have hips issues due to shorter back legs, many breeds have been bred with impossible hair to deal with (Afghan Hound) so many people won't keep them as pets, when originally they were a short coated breed....and so on. We humans do what we wish with dogs and their breeds to suit our needs and fancy...and bless their hearts...they are still our best friends and work hard for us.
