By Margaret Reynolds


Certain families don't feel complete without a dog in the house. Families can be any size and shape, and their furry friends reflect that. There are many who prefer teacup pups who would rather cuddle than exercise and are happy living in the smallest apartments. Families with active lifestyles often choose big, high energy, fun loving dogs. For these folks, the Goldendoodle puppies for sale Chicago breeders advertise could be a great option.

These are not purebred animals. They are what is known as designer dogs, or cross breeds. In the Goldendoodles case, the dogs are the result of mixing a Poodle with a Golden Retriever. The idea was to create a friendly, intelligent, big animal that people with allergies could live with. This is still a relatively new breed, and most of the Goldendoodles you see are first generation and not the result of two Goldendoodles getting together.

These dogs come in three sizes. They can be miniature, small and large standard. The toys can be as small as a foot in height and fifteen pounds in weight. The largest of the dogs stand about two feet and can weigh as much as ninety pounds. Because this is cross has not been around long, there are no breeder standards. Sizes may vary depending on the individual animal.

These are great dogs for families. They are people pleasers and very smart. Most of them are extremely tolerant of little kids and other household pets. Goldendoodles tend to be mischievous however unless they get some early training. The best way to gauge the personality of your puppy is to meet its parents. That will tell a lot about what you can expect.

Without it they may become shy and withdrawn. Goldendoodles need daily exercise, but can be content with a thirty minute walk. They aren't apartment dogs however. These animals need plenty of room to play.

These are not high maintenance dogs when it comes to grooming. They have curly coats that rarely shed. Combing them once every week or so is usually sufficient. Some owners keep their pets clipped to reduce grooming even more. They only need an occasional bath. An excess of water and soap will dry their skin out.

Most designer dogs are susceptible to certain diseases and conditions. Goldendoodles are no exception.
