Difference Between Labradoodles & Goldendoodles

While purebred dogs are still in high demand, special hybrids are also popular. Two in particular are the Labradoodle and the Goldendoodle.

  1. Labradoodle

    • A Labradoodle is the result of a Labrador Retriever and a Poodle that have been bred together. Labradoodles feature the coloring of a Labrador Retriever and the slightly curled fur of a Poodle.

    Goldendoodle

    • A Goldendoodle is a cross of two popular breeds of dog -- a Golden Retriever and a Poodle. Goldendoodles are cream or gold in color, with shaggy fur and long, overlapping ears.

    Origin of Labradoodles and Goldendoodles

    • Labradoodles were first created in Australia, and Goldendoodles originated, probably by accidental breeding, in North America and Australia. Both breeds are now popular all over the world.

    The Benefits of Combining Dog Breeds

    • Dog breeds are often combined to create a dog that is personable, intelligent, easy to train and easy to maintain. Labradoodles and Goldendoodles combine desirable canine qualities, and present them in a type of dog that is appealing to many people.

    Carefully Mixed Breeds

    • Labradoodles and Goldendoodles are carefully bred and raised by professional breeders. Plenty of attention is paid to the genes that are being mixed, and special care is given to the resulting puppies.
