What I learned when I looked up info for my friends who have a Goldendoodle (pound dog) is they were bred to use for service dogs for people who have allergies and needed the non-shedding of the poodle and the attributes of a golden or lab. I will say our friends who have a beautiful black Standard and the GoldenDoodle the doodle is a real clown, while the standard is more regal — though this one not so much as the one they lost to cancer a couple of years ago. This Standard is more of a tom-boy.... and hopelessly in love with the doodle... she spends hours grooming him... Bichette NEVER would have lowered herself to do such a thing.
MOST of the doodles I’ve seem seem to be sweet dogs, altho they are more active than my goldens.
