Question 5

What makes goldendoodles hypoallergenic?

Accepted Answer

Golden retriever coats are made of fur- which holds dander. These dogs have a double layered coat that sheds 2x/year.

Poodle coats consist of hair. This doesn't have dander, and these dogs in place of shedding require grooming. This type of coat is what people describe when they are looking for a hypoallergenic dog. The hair, is an allergy friendly coat.

When these parent breeds ( the golden retriever and the poodle are crossed) it creates a mixed breed that has a mixed coat. Part retriever and poodle. This would be an F1 goldendoodle. It's important to remember that the more poodle the more hypoallergenic the coat is, due to the higher percentage of hair.

If someone has severe allergies we would always recommend having a dog that is at least an F1b (75% poodle, 25% golden retriever) or higher in percentage of poodle, such as a multigen. Where both parents are goldendoodles and have a high percentage of poodle at least 80-85%.

It is important to remember that when looking for a goldendoodle puppy that is allergy friendly, goldendoodles need to have both copies of furnishings. Furnishings are what make a goldendoodle hair tight ( less likely to shed) and give them their signature fluffy look.

As always make sure that you are talking with your goldendoodle puppy breeder as you determine what goldendoodle puppy will be the best fit for you.

Question 7

Do Goldendoodles have to be groomed ?

Accepted Answer

Grooming is defined as " having your goldendoodles hair cut, and bathed". Goldendoodles should be groomed according to their coat type. Remember the curlier the goldendoodle the more frequently they will need to be brushed and groomed. Plan on grooming a curly coated goldendoodle every 3-4 weeks. A goldendoodle with a straight/ wavy coat could go 4-6 weeks between grooming depending on their coat. Visit with your groomer to set up the best schedule for your goldendoodle puppy.
