Tracing The Origins Of Miniature Goldendoodle Puppies
The history of the Miniature Goldendoodle traces back to the mid-90s when it emerged as a deliberate crossbreed. It was meticulously bred, embodying the intelligence and coat qualities of the Poodle while embracing its gentle demeanor from the Golden Retriever.

The Poodle boasts an ancient lineage that dates back thousands of years, originating as hunting dogs in Germany. Revered by the French, they refined this breed into three sizes, each serving a unique purpose. Their trainability, intelligence, and unique haircuts have made them favorites.

The Golden Retriever, which originated in Scotland in the 19th century, was carefully bred by Lord Tweedmouth for its loyalty, attentiveness, and prowess in retrieving waterfowl without causing any harm. Since then, they have become cherished family companions known for their adaptability and gentle nature, recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1932.

The Miniature Goldendoodle epitomizes the ideal blend of intelligence, loyalty, and affection to combine the finest qualities of both parents.

What Is a Mini Doodle?
The term “mini Doodle” refers to any miniature hybrid dog that’s a cross between a miniature or Toy Poodle and any other breed. A Goldendoodle can be considered a mini Doodle, but so can a Miniature Labradoodle (a cross between a Labrador Retriever and a miniature Poodle) or a Miniature Bernedoodle (Bernese Mountain Dog and a miniature Poodle). Because mini Doodles can be the product of different breeds crossing with a miniature Poodle, their appearance, behavior, and general size can vary greatly. That’s why it’s important to research different Mini Doodles before selecting the right pet.
How Big Do mini Goldendoodles Get?
Mini Goldendoodles typically reach a height of 20 inches and a weight of 40 pounds when fully grown, though some can exceed the average height and weight. This depends on the specific breeding combination, as the parents' size can influence the offspring's size.
Are mini Goldendoodles Hypoallergenic?
No dog breed is truly hypoallergenic as they all shed some amount of dander. However, mixed breeds like mini Goldendoodles are less likely to shed than other breeds because of their Poodle genes.
