Do Goldendoodles have health issues?

Goldendoodles tend to live fairly long lives but are subject to the same diseases that affect their parent breeds, Poodles and Golden Retrievers. Because they are a mixed breed, Goldendoodles are not as susceptible to cancer as purebred Golden Retrievers (though it still can occur). 

The key to keeping your Goldendoodle healthy is ensuring that their needs are met and keeping track of their health. Providing your dog a high-quality diet can have a huge positive impact on their health in the long term and can help reduce the chances of obesity (to which their Golden Retriever parents are prone).
