I will probably get a dog again later on.Yes, golden doodles are pretty amazing, where I live there are 3 registered doodle breeders in the area and several more who just want to breed. They take almost 3 times as long to groom as most small dogs, and charge half the price in most places. The most golden doodles I've groomed in a day is 5, but I had to limit it to 3 a day because the bathers quit. It takes one to two hours to bathe and dry a 60-100 pound untrained hairy mess and that's without clippers and scissors work. There is no standard golden doodle, they come in all shapes and colors and hair types. The first person credited with breeding labradoodles and thereafter golden doodles and every other doodle has spoken out about regretting it. They're a doomed breed. I love them, don't get me wrong. As a designer breed, people who buy them expect the great things, but are never prepared for problems, and they're everywhere now, and people keep buying them and making more.
If you do get a golden doodle, learn to take care of the hair, learn to groom it, or just be very nice to the groomer.
