Our Golden Mountaindoodle Parents

A Golden Mountaindoodle is a combination of 3 breeds we love: the Golden Retriever, the Bernese Mountain Dog and the Poodle. This can be a great temperament combo because we can combine the Golden’s affability and joy to meet everyone (they can be best friends with a brick wall), the Bernese’s goofy, fun loving, low energy, and their love for “their people,” with the Poodle’s intelligence, drive to please, trainability, low to very low non-shed coats. So golden mountaindoodles are typically characterized as happy, friendly, loyal, smart, nice low-medium energy, and easy to train - but best of all - a great balance between loving “their people” while also being friendly. They can be great for a variety of types of families and individuals - they are typically great with young kids, and with training, can be great for busy young families. They can also be great adventure buddies and loyal companions for folks in all life stages.

Because of their low to practically non-shed coats, they can be great for families and individuals with mild to moderate allergies. Because of their furnishings (the fluffiness around their muzzle, eyebrows, and legs), they have hair on their coat instead of fur. Because of this, golden. mountaindoodles can be considered moderate to high maintenance for grooming. They will need routine brushing and combing by their owners, plus professional grooming every 4-8 weeks. Their coat characteristics also give them their great “teddy bear” look that we love.

Golden mountaindoodles are characterized as extremely smart. Because of this, it is important to fill their need for mental stimulation and give them training and activities. They can be a little more forgiving if folks don’t train compared to some other breeds, but if you can put the time into training, especially the first 12 months, they can dogs that can enjoy all aspects of your life because of their good and trained behavior.
