What is a Petite Goldendoodle?
The Petite Goldendoodle is a hybrid mix of three breeds: Golden Retriever, American Cocker Spaniel and Poodle.
02
What do they look like?
My petite golden doodles will be between 12-14" in height and weigh 18-25lbs. They have a curly to wavy coat that is no to low shedding. By brushing it twice a week, it can maintain a healthy shine and remain tangle free,
03
When did this Breed Begin?
In the interest of reducing the size of the goldendoodle, the Petite Goldendoodle was born in the early 2000's by mixing the Golden Retriever, Cocker Spaniel and Poodle (either Miniature or Toy). The result is a cute, cuddly teddy bear like hybrid that is more than capable of any lap-sitting competition in the house. The Petite Goldendoodle hybrid itself is recognized by Dog Registry of America. They have retained the intelligence level and the loving nature contributed by the Poodle and Golden Retriever parents, able to captivate even the hardest of hearts.
04
What is their Temperament Like?
They've been described as "small dogs with big personalities", quickly becoming attached to their human families. They're obedient and, because they have an intelligent nature, they can bridge the communication gap between canine and human quite nicely, making them excellent choices for therapy dogs and great companions for the elderly.
