Why are Groodles so popular?
Groodle popularity has exploded in the past 10 years making them one of the most sort after breeds in Australia and overseas. If you own or have previously owned a Groodle you know why they are such a special breed and are so popular.
If you have not owned a Groodle you are probably asking yourself, why are they such a special breed and why is there so many curly coated doodles everywhere. You just need to ask one of their privileged owners of their experiences and the excitement of owning such a smart, loving and clever companion. You may be there for a while so may need to also enjoy a cuppa. Groodles are a combination of two very smart breeds being the Poodle and Golden Retriever.
They are extremely smart, family friendly, tolerant, gentle, highly trainable and excellent with young children.
In addition to their friendly personalities, Groodles are extremely sort after because of their very low shedding coat. Particularly being The F1B, F2B and F2BB who are the most appropriate generation of Groodle Highly recommended for allergy sufferers.
Poodles coats virtually does not shed, whereas the Golden Retriever does. Groodles will vary in the amount they shed based mainly on the generation of cross.
All dogs shed to some degree. No breeder can say that I can 100% Guarantee my dogs will not shed. Genetically impossible. They are either misinformed or have never done coat DNA genetics on their pets. People who advertise their Groodles and Guarantee they do not shed are only following what other misinformed breeders are stating in their advertisements. Obviously because of their coat type and growth pattern,
Poodles are one of the lowest shedding breeds. Groodles can be a lot different. i.e., 1st cross will shed significantly less than a purebred Golden Retriever, known as F1 or first cross. From experience and DNA coat analysis if you are seeking a non-shedding Groodle because of allergies, it would be advised to avoid the F1 and F2 crosses as they will all most probably have a degree of shedding in their wavy coats. We recommend for allergy sufferers to adopt either F1b, F2B, F2BB Groodle with tight curly coats for minimal shedding.
We specialise and breed F2B and F2BB Groodles who possess the most appropriate DNA tested coat with the least amount of shedding in all the Groodle crosses and can be the best option for allergy sufferers. Some of our clients with allergies have tested this theory by sticking their faces into the coats of our Groodles/puppies and did not suffer any allergy affects. Who better to answer the question?
