How Long Do Goldendoodles Live?

Goldendoodles typically live between 10 and 15 years. Their lifespan can vary depending on size—smaller Goldendoodles tend to live longer than larger ones (American Kennel Club).

Are Goldendoodles Hypoallergenic?

Goldendoodles are often described as hypoallergenic, especially F1B and F1BB generations, which are bred to reduce shedding. However, no dog is 100% hypoallergenic. Proper grooming helps minimize allergens.

Temperament & Personality

Goldendoodles are friendly, gentle, playful, and intelligent. They are great with children and other pets, and their eagerness to please makes them highly trainable.

Best Traits:

• Friendly and affectionate with families
• Intelligent and eager to learn
• Low-shedding and allergy-friendly (especially F1B)
• Adaptable to many living situations

Things to Consider:

• Require regular grooming and coat maintenance
• Can be prone to separation anxiety
• Need consistent training and mental stimulation

How Big Does a Goldendoodle Get?

Goldendoodles come in various sizes:

• Standard: 50–90 lbs, 20–26 inches tall
• Mini: 15–35 lbs, 13–20 inches tall
• Toy/Micro: Under 15 lbs, under 13 inches tall

What Is an F1B Goldendoodle?

An F1B Goldendoodle is 75% Poodle and 25% Golden Retriever (bred between a Goldendoodle and a Poodle). This generation tends to be more allergy-friendly and low-shedding.

Do Goldendoodles Shed?

Most Goldendoodles are low-shedding, especially F1B and F1BB varieties. Regular grooming reduces shedding even more.
