Getting to Know the Wonderful Groodle

A cross between the clever Poodle and the affectionate Golden Retriever, the Groodle brings together the very best of both, here's what makes them so special.

Smart, Affectionate & Wonderfully Low to Non Shedding

A Groodle (sometimes called a Goldendoodle outside Australia) is a crossbreed between a Golden Retriever and a Poodle. These puppies are loved for their "teddy bear" looks and a personality that combines the Golden Retriever's gentle, playful warmth with the Poodle's intelligence and low to non shedding coat.

I'm always happy to chat through any of these details, just get in touch.

What Makes a Groodle a Groodle

Friendly Temperament

Known as "gentle geniuses" for their intuitive, patient and highly social nature, Groodles are exceptionally family-friendly and typically get along well with children and other pets.

Playful

Energetic and playful, Groodles love to exercise, and they're equally as happy to cuddle on the couch, great companions for families of all ages.

Intelligent

Ranking among the smartest dog breeds, they're eager to please and generally easy to train, making them an excellent choice for first-time owners. Groodles can be trained as therapy, assistance and companion dogs.

Healthy

Groodles have "hybrid vigour", where crossbred offspring tend to be healthier and more resilient than their purebred parents. All parents are fully health tested, inclusive of hip/elbow scoring, temperaments assessed and genetic DNA testing, and are clear of any breed-specific genetic diseases.

Hypoallergenic

Groodles are popular for being low to non shedding, a major benefit for allergy sufferers and families who don't want their home covered in dog hair.

Beautiful Coats

Groodle puppies have a soft, fluffy coat that changes to their adult coat around 6 to 14 months, low to non shedding. More on the two adult coat types below.

Mini, Medium & Standard Groodles

I breed three Groodle sizes, each suited to a different home and lifestyle.

Groodle sizes: Mini (shin height, 35-45cm, 8-15kg), Medium (knee height, 45-55cm, 15-22kg), and Standard (thigh height, 55-65cm, 22-30kg), shown beside a person for scale

Caring for Your Groodle

Grooming

A weekly brush and a trip to the groomer every 6–8 weeks keeps that gorgeous coat soft, comfortable and tangle-free.

Exercise

A daily walk plus some playtime in the yard is usually plenty to keep a Groodle happy, settled, and out of mischief.

Training

Their sharp minds and eagerness to please make Groodles a joy to train, positive reward-based methods work beautifully.

Companionship

Groodles thrive on company and connection, they're true velcro dogs who love being wherever their people are.
