Goldendoodle Puppies For Sale In Phoenix Arizona Make Great Family Pets

By Brian Fisher


Some people get excited about adding a pet to their family. Everyone should be very careful though before they make a commitment that may last close to two decades. Once you know a new pet is appropriate for your home, you must select the type of animal that will be the best fit for your family situation. There many popular breeds of dogs to choose from including the Goldendoodle puppies for sale in Phoenix Arizona.

A hybrid of the poodle and Golden Retriever breeds, the Goldendoodle has not been around for a long time. Breeders wanted to capitalize on the growing popularity of poodle mixes, which includes Labradoodles, when they mixed the breeds. Currently Goldendoodles are not recognized by authorized kennel clubs and associations. There has not been sufficient time for their character traits, sizes and colors to become consistent enough for this recognition.

You can usually depend on these dogs to be extremely friendly and people loving. They tend to make great family pets because they are good with children and other animals that may already exist in the household. Goldendoodles need attention and work best in families that regularly include them in their activities.

One of the pluses of choosing this dog is the ease with which most of them respond to training. They are intelligent animals, eager to please, and happy with the attention. As with most pets, training should begin when they are young and remain consistent throughout their lives. Positive reinforcement is the best way to get them to cooperate.

This breed is active, but not overly excitable. They must be exercised every day, but will enjoy a walk in the park as much as the free run of a big back yard. Goldendoodles are not animals that can be confined in crates or left alone for long periods of time. It is easy for them to get bored and restless which can end in the destruction of furniture and any clothing within their reach.

Even though it is still a new breed, all evidence points to its being very hearty and robust. Annual veterinary visits should include special screening for eye and skin disorders and hip and elbow dysplasia as these are weaknesses some of the animals may suffer. Goldendoodles also tend to gain weight as they age, so attention must be paid to that aspect of their health.

Since they are still a young breed, their size and coats vary. Some are very sturdy and heavy bodied. Others are slender. They may or may not be appropriate for people with allergies. They don't require excessive grooming, but they do need to be brushed and bathed regularly. Their toenails should be kept short, and the hair over their eyes trimmed back.

Goldendoodles make excellent family pets. They are loving, personable, intelligent animals that become devoted to their owners. You won't go wrong if you choose one of these adorable puppies from a responsible breeder.
