History of the Goldendoodle
Teddy Bear Goldendoodle puppies were first bred in the 1990s in Australia and North America when golden retrievers were crossed with standard poodle dog breeds. They were an experiment because the goal was to develop dogs that could guide blind individuals with allergies.
Coat and Colors
The Goldendoodle usually has a curly or at least a wavy coat of about two or three inches in length. The hair is longer on the ears, body and tail making them adorable pets. The legs may be feathered and the hair on their head can be a bit shorter and straighter. The color of a goldendoodle's coat can be very different. It can be champagne, golden, red, apricot, copper, black, ultra cream and a mix of these colors. The color that is most common is champagne. The feather surface can be a bit lighter and as the dog gets older the coat gets lighter. This dog doesn’t shed a lot of hair, but it still depends on the coat type. Even though it is considered a low-shedder or non-shedder it needs to be groomed to keep the quality of the coat. The coat can be clipped in order to make maintenance easier, however, if not it must be brushed every week. They don't need to be bathed so often as their coat contains necessary oils and moisture by itself. As it was already mentioned, the coat of the puppy changes when it matures. It grows longer and becomes full and very plush. The puppies that don’t have curl on the back or forehead at birth or don’t show any signs of “crimping” are straight or loose wavy coated puppies. Otherwise the puppies are curly coats.
