By Brian Fisher


Anyone who is in the market for a pet must think carefully about the type of animal that will fit well with his or her lifestyle, environment, and financial situation. Whether you are a dog lover or a cat lover, any animal you choose is a long term commitment you must be ready to make. If you have young children, you need to make sure they will be safe with any animal you pick. Goldendoodle puppies for sale in Phoenix Arizona have become more and more popular over the last few years for several reasons.

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.

Goldendoodles are smart, adaptable dogs that respond well when they are trained at a young age. This is one reason they are gaining a reputation as good assistance and guide dogs. You will have to be consistent in what you expect from them in order to maintain good behavior. Rewarding them with treats and affection is the best method of teaching these animals.

This breed is energetic without being overly demanding. They are a medium size dog that should have regular exercise to keep them healthy and happy. Goldendoodles do not usually respond well to long periods of solitude and inactivity. They may become restless and destructive if left to their own devices.

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.
