The Goldendoodle emerged in the 1990s as a hybrid of the Golden Retriever and Poodle, making for a super-cute and loving dog. How exactly the different breeds’ genes will express themselves is never certain, but overall, Goldendoodles are outgoing, very cuddly, and extremely intelligent. Plus, Goldendoodles are bred in many sizes, so they can live comfortably both in and out of city environments.
