Fact 1. Goldendoodles Are Stronger And More Healthy Than Their Pure-Bred Counterparts

It’s a fact! Known as “Hybrid Vigor”, Goldendoodles inherit the best of both worlds when it comes to strong genetics.

This is due to being bred from two separate bloodlines – known as a “Designer Breed”. In the case of the ‘Doodle, the blood lines are from a Poodle and a Golden Retriever – hence the name “Goldendoodle”.

A major benefit of having a Goldendoodle is – because of their inherently strong genetics, they typically don’t need as many vet visits as other breeds do. With proper nutrition and exercise, your ‘Doodle will stay strong and healthy for many years to come.

Fact 2. They Haven’t Been Around All That Long

Goldendoodles have only been around since about the 1990’s. They rose in popularity, due to their robust genetics, intelligence and “family-friendliness.”

According to this article on Rover.com, Goldendoodles are now in the top percentage of the most popular dog breeds in America!
