Tips on Grooming Your Goldendoodle

    High Maintenance: Goldendoodles can have different types of fur. Some look like shaggy retrievers, others resemble a Poodle with loose curls and some fall somewhere in the middle. They are not low-maintenance dogs when it comes to grooming. Plan to brush the Goldendoodle at least every other day, using a slicker brush, and have him clipped every eight to twelve weeks.

    Why Brush or Groom Your Goldendoodle Dog?

    Grooming and combing your dog's hair coat is an imperative part of everyday pet care. Brushing assists to keep your Goldendoodle dog's coat in good condition by getting rid of loose hair and avoiding hair mats/knots.

    Brushing also assists to spread healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, ensuring a glossy coat and helping dirt to slide off the hair. This can also help to decrease the need to bath and therefore reduce the occurrence of bathing.

    Brushing and grooming of your Goldendoodle dog are tasks that help to enhance the positive connection bond between your pet dog and you. Brushing should be an enjoyable and comfortable experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your Goldendoodle

    How often to brush and groom your dog will depend on each personal dog. Dogs tend to contrast in their need for brushing because of their coat type and length and also depending on their latest activities.

    Dogs with short coats typically require less brushing and grooming compared to dogs with medium to long haired coats as these longer coats can get tangles, mats and debris trapped in them more quickly.

    Some very short-haired canines may not need traditional 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may instead like to try a soft grooming glove to gently remove loose hair, occasionally.

    Pet dogs should be brushed 'as needed'. Owners should keep track of the condition of their dog's coat, looking for any tangles/mats or dullness which suggests they might need a brush. Grooming can take anything from a couple of minutes to several hours a week depending on your type of dog.

Goldendoodle Information

The Goldendoodle is a cross between a Golden Retriever and a Standard Poodle (or Miniature). At their best, they are intelligent, friendly, and affectionate. They come in three sizes: miniature (weighing 15 to 30 pounds), medium (30 to 45 pounds), and standard (45 to more than 100 pounds). Because they are a cross breed, their traits are not fixed, so there is not a guarantee that the Goldendoodle puppy you purchase will fall into the desired weight range.

The Goldendoodle is intelligent, friendly, and family oriented. It is a highly social dog. Goldendoodles tend to follow their nose wherever it leads, so a fenced-in yard is recommended. They are always ready for a game; most Goldendoodles retain the natural retrieving instincts of the Golden Retriever. The Goldendoodle’s friendliness with strangers makes it a poor watchdog. Goldendoodles do not bark frequently.
