Goldendoodle are fun-loving, happy intelligent family companions. They love everyone they meet and want to be lap dogs (regardless of their size !!). Because of their tendency to be non-shedding, they make wonderful house dogs. Many people consider them hypo-allergenic for those that have allergies.
