Question

Does a Goldendoodle have a double coat?

Answer 1

Yes a Goldendoodle does have a double coat.

Unlike most other dogs who have one coat of fur the Goldendoodle dog breeds do have a double coat.

The double coat of a Goldendoodle requires some special care especially when grooming the Goldendoodle.

Goldendoodle dog breeds either a thick Retriever like coat of fur or a a loosely curled coat of fur but the goldendoodle always has a double coat of fur.

To keep the goldendoodle dog clean they require a lot of grooming and more baths than other dogs because the Goldendoodles double coat is highly prone to matting or trapping of dirt.

They just require a bit more grooming than other dogs but they are still pretty easy to keep clean and groom them.

Answer 2

Goldendoodles are good dogs and are great with people and get along with other pets as well and are often patient and gentle with young children which makes them a great family dog.

However Goldendoodles are too friendly to be watchdogs and guard dogs and would usually befriend a stranger instead of warn them off.

Goldendoodle dogs are a designer dog created by crossbreeding a Golden Retriever and a Poodle.

First widely bred in the 1990s, Goldendoodle dogs are bred in three different sizes—each corresponding to the size of Poodle used as a parent.

Goldendoodles do not have to be groomed at all.

However to keep the goldendoodle dog healthy and clean and looking good it's best to have the goldendoodle dog groomed at least every 6 months to a year.

You can do some grooming of the goldendoodle yourself at home or you can have a professional dog groomer groom the dog.

The average age for a female goldendoodle dog to go into heat is around 6 months of age.

But some goldendoodles may not go into heat until 7 or 8 months of age.

But do be prepared for the female goldendoodle to go into heat within 6 months of it being born.

Most goldendoodle dog breeds live for 15 years.

Although the average life expectancy for goldendoodle dogs is between 10 years to 15 years.

Some goldendoodle dogs may live only 10 years while some may live to 15 years and some goldendoodle dogs in rare cases may live as much as 16 to 17 years.

My neighbor had a goldendoodle dog that lived to be 19 years old.

That was really old for the dog though.

Most of the goldendoodle dog breeds live only 10 to 15 years.

But just like humans dogs can outlive their life expectancy.
