The Double Doodle is a popular multi-generational designer breed created by crossing a Labradoodle with a Goldendoodle. This mix combines the best qualities of the Labrador Retriever, Golden Retriever, and Poodle lineages, resulting in a social, affectionate, and intelligent companion. Known for their friendly personalities and eagerness to connect with people, Double Doodles thrive as family dogs in a wide variety of homes.
These dogs are active and engaged by nature. They enjoy daily walks, interactive games, and activities that make use of both their physical and mental energy. Their coats can vary from wavy to curly and typically shed less than those of their retriever ancestors, though grooming needs remain consistent. Regular brushing and occasional professional grooming help keep their coats healthy and mat-free.
Because Double Doodles inherit the Poodle’s trainability and the retrievers’ eagerness to please, training tends to be straightforward and enjoyable. They excel in basic obedience, family manners, and enrichment-based activities. Early socialization ensures they grow into confident, adaptable companions ready for a variety of environments.
With their cheerful temperament and people-focused nature, Double Doodles suit families, active homes, and allergy-sensitive households looking for a friendly, outgoing dog. Their blend of sociability, intelligence, and low-shedding coat makes them one of the most sought-after doodle varieties.
