These Miniature Goldendoodle characteristics can help you decide before you make a purchase. ### **Here are some of the defining characteristics of the very popular Miniature Goldendoodle:** - The Miniature Goldendoodle is actually defined as a hybrid breed. It comes from crossing a Golden Retriever and a Miniature Poodle. - Because of the smaller size of the Poodle, Miniature Goldendoodles typically stay anywhere from 20 to 35 lbs full grown. - Many people choose the Mini Goldendoodle because it sheds less than the average dog, making it a candidate for people with allergies. - Because the breed has hair that continues to grow, as opposed to fur, it requires occasional grooming and brushing. - This breed is very attentive to their owners and will listen to commands readily. It is considered an easy to train breed and good for first time owners. - This dog may be small in size, but it can become a good watchdog. It will bark and growl when there is an intruder. They can be very protective of their owners. - It can live in an apartment, but you need to take it for a walk every day as they have lots of energy, especially as puppies. - The Miniature Goldendoodle can also handle weather variances and will do well in hot or in even cold climates. - This dog is one of the best breeds for families with kids. It is energetic, playful and will be very affectionate. It also goes well with other animals or pets at home. - This breed comes in a variety of colors and hair coats, depending on the color of its parents. - The Miniature Goldendoodle is fun loving and good natured; it remains one of our most popular breeds for good reason! ### **Getting to know the parent breeds** Those Miniature Goldendoodle characteristics come from both parent breeds, so it helps to read up on each.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I came in to visit to look at the puppies and options they have. They gave us a good amount of time to get to know a puppy, but we had another puppy in mind too. They did a great job with handling customers. The staff quickly wanted to know the purpose and how serious we were on buying before they gave out a second puppy, which I understand. However, we were interested but this also turned us off. The puppies were individually confined which is not great environmentally and socially for them. (My opinion, but to each their own.) Otherwise, it was not bad of an experience. I will come back. Just things to consider. We will keep them in mind for a specific breed only. Posted on Google Zahra Safavian Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience at XO with our first dog so it was a no-brainer to return when we were looking to add another puppy to our family. We had an equally great experience the second time around, and happy to find another perfect match.
