What is a Goldendoodle?

The Goldendoodle is a crossbreed dog resulting from a mix between a Golden Retriever and a Standard Poodle. In 1969, Monica Dickens bred the first Goldendoodle, but the breed became popular in the 1990s when American and Australian breeders began crossing Standard Poodles with Golden Retrievers in earnest, attempting to create a hypoallergenic guide dog.
