If you’re looking for a loyal, cuddly, and allergy-friendly pup that stays small, the Teddybear Micro Mini Goldendoodle may be your dream dog. Known for their adorable teddy bear appearance, loving personalities, and manageable size, these little doodles are quickly becoming one of the most sought-after family companions.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about Teddy Bear Micro Mini Goldendoodles—from their size and temperament to grooming, training, and care tips—so you’ll feel confident about welcoming one into your home.

🧸 What Makes a Goldendoodle a “Teddybear Goldendoodle”?

The “Teddy Bear” nickname comes from their signature fluffy, round faces and soft coats that resemble a plush toy. Teddy Bear Goldendoodles typically:

Have a rounded muzzle and big, expressive eyes
Feature a soft, wavy or curly coat
Carry a gentle and affectionate temperament

When bred in the micro mini size, these doodles keep all the teddy bear cuteness in a much smaller package, making them ideal for apartment living, small homes, or families who prefer a compact pup.

📏 Size & Temperament of Teddybear Micro Mini Goldendoodles

Size: Most Teddy Bear Micro Minis weigh between 10–20 lbs fully grown.
Height: They usually stand about 11–14 inches tall at the shoulder.
Temperament: They are affectionate, playful, intelligent, and social dogs. Their eagerness to please makes training easier than many small breeds.

These doodles thrive on companionship, so expect your puppy to want to be part of every family activity. They’re excellent with children, great for first-time dog owners, and even adapt well to multi-pet households.

🍽️ Feeding & Nutrition

Because of their small size, micro mini doodles need nutrient-dense food to support their energy and growth without overfeeding. Look for:

High-quality kibble or fresh food formulated for small breeds
Balanced protein and fat ratios to maintain muscle and coat health
Small, frequent meals (especially as puppies) to avoid low blood sugar

💡 Pro Tip: Avoid overfeeding. Micro minis can gain weight quickly, which can lead to joint strain or health issues. Stick to your vet’s recommendations on portion sizes.

🧼 Grooming & Coat Care

One of the biggest appeals of Goldendoodles is their low-shedding, allergy-friendly coat. However, Teddy Bear Micro Minis do require consistent grooming to stay fluffy and mat-free.

Grooming routine:

Daily to every-other-day brushing with a slicker brush or comb
Professional grooming every 6–8 weeks for trims and coat maintenance
Regular ear cleaning and nail trims
Bathing once a month (or as needed) with gentle, dog-safe shampoo

💡 Keeping up with grooming is key—not only for appearance but also for your doodle’s comfort. Mats can cause pain and skin irritation if left unattended.

🏃 Exercise & Mental Stimulation

Even though they’re small, Teddy Bear Micro Mini Goldendoodles have a lot of energy. Plan for:

30–60 minutes of activity per day (walks, play sessions, fetch)
Puzzle toys and brain games to keep their intelligent minds busy
Socialization with other dogs and people to build confidence

They love interactive play, so time spent training and playing together doubles as bonding time.

🐾 Training Your Teddybear Goldendoodle

Thanks to their Poodle intelligence and Golden Retriever friendliness, training comes naturally to these pups. Use positive reinforcement techniques with treats, praise, and play.

Training priorities:

Housebreaking and crate training early on
Teaching basic commands (sit, stay, come, leave it)
Leash training to avoid pulling
Socialization with kids, guests, and other pets

Starting young helps avoid common small-dog behaviors like barking or separation anxiety.

❤️ Health & Lifespan

Teddy Bear Micro Mini Goldendoodles are generally healthy but can inherit conditions from either parent breed. Common things to watch for include:

Hip and joint issues (less common in micro minis but possible)
Allergies and skin sensitivities
Dental health (small breeds are more prone to tartar buildup)

Average lifespan: 12–16 years, with proper diet, exercise, and veterinary care.

💡 Regular vet checkups, a balanced diet, and consistent exercise will keep your doodle healthy and happy for years to come.
