Miniature GoldenDoodles
The Miniature GoldenDoodle is a smaller version of the ACHC recognized GoldenDoodle. It's a mixed breed that is a cross between a Miniature Poodle and a Golden Retriever. This dog breed is loyal and people-oriented. They love to be in your company, and aren't happy being left alone for long periods.
The Golden Retriever is a friendly, happy breed, the Miniature Poodle is another friendly dog breed and very smart. With the Miniature Goldendoodle you get a mix of both. Mini Goldendoodles are often intelligent, cheerful, and friendly. This mixed breed generally makes an excellent family pet and is good with children. They also tend to get along well with other dogs and companion animals. They do not tend to be noisy and may bark infrequently, so it's best not to rely on them as a watchdog for protection.
Both the Golden Retriever and Mini Poodle are highly trainable dog breeds. This hybrid Mini Goldendoodle dog breed will be the same in most cases. They tend to be sensitive to tone of voice and are eager to please.
​
These dogs tend to be 13-20 inches in height and usually fall in the 30-40 pound range.
Given the mix of the Miniature Goldendoodle breed, they should have a moderate energy level. 20-30 minutes of exercise a couple of times a day will go a long way with this puppy. In general, a well-exercised dog is a happy dog, so be sure to let your puppy run to unwind. Regular walks and playtime will keep this pup active and healthy. Due to the retriever in their bloodlines, your Mini Goldendoodle may even love to swim!
The Miniature Goldendoodle requires a moderate to fair amount of grooming, so unless you are willing to spend the time and effort learning to do it yourself this means regular visit to a professional groomer, which is not cheap. With the mini poodle in the mix, this breed has a low shedding factor. It often has a curly or corded coat and is fairly hypoallergenic. You'll still want to brush their coat and trim their nails regularly. It's also important to brush your dog's teeth regularly to avoid buildup of tartar and future dental issues.

A Miniature Goldendoodle generally lives 10-14 years.
