Golden Retriever

By Leslie Brown

Doodle dogs are a combination of two (or sometimes more) types of breeds, typically a Labrador or Golden Retriever bred with a Poodle. The resulting dog has the hair of a Poodle, which is thought to be non-allergic, and because it is more like human hair than fur, it doesn’t shed as much. The retriever part of the combo dog offers the strength and personality of the Labrador or Golden Retriever. But “combo” dogs don’t stop there--there are all sorts of combinations of dogs, bred for specific qualities.
