Care, health and life expectancy of a Goldendoodle
The Goldendoodle is considered to be very easy to maintain. If you have a dog that is more like a poodle, you will most likely need to have their fur trimmed regularly. The poodle doesn't change hair as intensely as other dog breeds. Nevertheless, dead hair and possibly deeper sitting dirt must be removed from time to time.
For the time in between, it is sufficient to brush your dog regularly. Goldendoodles love the water and are happy to be persuaded to take a bath.
Other than that, preventive health care, vaccinations and regular dental check apply as with all other dog breeds.
The Goldendoodle is considered extremely robust and durable. He can easily reach an age of up to 15 years. Hereditary diseases have not yet occurred in Goldendoodle breeding.
Nutrition
Regular wet and dry food for medium-sized and active dogs is ideal for this dog breed. Goldendoodle puppies, older or sick dogs have a special need for nutrients and energy. The feeding should then be adjusted accordingly.
Buying a Goldendoodle
You can get a Goldendoodle puppy from the breeder. Goldendoodle are not cheap dogs and can cost up to 2000 euros. But if you want a healthy dog that also corresponds characteristically to the ideas of the breed, you should also look for a reputable breeder. Prices start at 1200 euros for a Goldendoodle in standard colours. With a little luck, instead of buying a Goldendoodle, you can also find a lonely and grateful dog in animal welfare. For a fair fee, you get a great dog who already has some experience.
