Groodle Dogs Breed Description & Personality Traits

Breeding Golden Retriever with Poodles result in a variety of gorgeous offspring, in terms of size, colour and coat type. Our ‘shaggy teddy-bears’ can be miniature, medium or standard in size, just as poodles vary in size.

Coat colours include gold, black, cream, red, grey and brown, usually but not always without markings. The ears hang down, the nose is long, and the tail usually rides up over their backs with a full plume. 

There are three coat types, wool, straight and fleece. The woollen coat resembles that of a poodle and is usually non shedding, the fleece coat is the loose wavy look and is normally low shedding, and the straight coat normally has some shedding. 

Groodle dogs are a highly social breed suited to individuals or families who are willing to provide them with the stimulation and companionship they deserve. The Groodle happy-go-lucky attitude is highly sought after, and they can be mischievous and curious in the most loveable way! Mostly a  Groodle dog is highly adaptable and will easily fit into households, with or without existing pets and/or children.

A Groodle can be easy to train – they love to learn new things and aim to please their people. They make a great match for first-time owners who are willing to provide them with appropriate mental stimulation and training. The Groodle breed is highly intelligent, benefiting from early puppy training and thrives in obedience and agility. A Groodle dog rarely possess aggressive tendencies, however many are excellent ‘watch-dogs’. Like most breeds, Groodles require adequate and appropriate socialisation with other dogs and people to assist in reducing undesired or fearful behaviours.
