WHY MULTIGENERATIONAL GOLDENDOODLES
What Makes a Multigenerational Goldendoodle Greater than other types (or previous generations of) the Goldendoodle?
There are certain benefits that follow a multigenerational Goldendoodle. These benefits come in the form of traits and coat types and are why most breeders favor the multigenerational Goldendoodle over the other generations of the Goldendoodle.
Primarily, the Poodle parents’ genes are more dominant than the Golden Retrievers genes. Poodles are one of the most intelligent dog breeds in the world. They are highly trainable and are well behaved.

CONSIDERATIONS IN ACQUIRING A GOLDENDOODLE
TOY AND MINITURE SIZE
Goldendoodles come in a variety of sizes, each with its own unique characteristics. This hybrid breed is a mix between a Golden Retriever and a Poodle, resulting in four main sizes: Toy, Miniature, Medium, and Standard Goldendoodles.
The size of a Goldendoodle is determined by the size of its parent breeds, as well as any gender differences that may come into play. Each size has its own unique qualities, making it important to understand the differences so you can choose the perfect Goldendoodle for your family.
Toy Golden doodle Size
Adult Toy Goldendoodles measure between 10 and 14 inches tall and weigh between 10 and 24 lbs. Choosing the Toy Goldendoodle is a good decision when space is limited. As the smallest size of Goldendoodles, they are perfect for smaller homes or apartments.
In addition to their compact size, they are renowned for their highly affectionate nature and make wonderful snuggle companions.
Miniature Goldendoodle Size
Mini Goldendoodles typically weigh between 20-40 pounds and stand 16-20 inches tall. For those who desire a slightly larger dog, the Mini Goldendoodle size is the preferred choice.
Known for their friendly and lovable temperament, Miniature Goldendoodles make excellent family pets that get along well with children and other animals.
Mini Goldendoodles are known to enjoy snuggling with their humans and engaging in various activities, making them a perfect addition to an active family.
Standard Goldendoodles
Golden Retrievers typically measure between 21-24 inches in height and can weigh anywhere from 55-75 pounds. In contrast, the size of Poodle parents varies depending on their classification as toy, mini, or standard, resulting in heights that range from 10-26 inches and weights that range from 10-90 pounds.
COLOR AND PATTERNS
The Abstract Goldendoodle has a color pattern featuring less than 50% white in the coat.
The Parti pattern is typically white and another color. This differs from the abstract pattern in which less than 50% of the color is white. Parti is 50% white with 50% of another dominant color, most commonly apricot or tan.
The Tuxedo pattern is similar to the Parti except that the white is concentrated on the chest, belly, and hind legs, giving the dog the appearance of wearing a tuxedo.
A rare pattern, the phantom consists of a base shade, usually solid black or chocolate, and a lighter color. The lighter color tends to be found on the muzzle, around the eyes, and legs. The most common Phantom color variation for the Golden doodle is black and tan.
The brindle pattern is unique because it gives the coat an almost tiger-stripe look. It is usually a brown or black base with light red and brown stripes.
When choosing a puppy, it’s recommended that you aim for one with a darker coat color than what you are hoping for. That way, when the colors fade, as they usually do, you’ll have an adult Goldendoodle with a coat color that you love, excluding white which retains its coloring.
HAIR TEXTURE
Goldendoodles can have a curly, wavy, or straight hair texture. A Goldendoodle's coat can have various amounts of curl. They inherit the curl alleles from their parents. Typically, a Goldendoodle that is curly is +/+ for curl gene, +/- is a wavy or loose curl coat, and -/- is a straight coat.
Multigenerational Goldendoodle Appearance
Because multigenerational Goldendoodles possess more Poodle genes in them than the Golden Retriever gene, they almost always take the appearance of the Poodle parent more than they do the Golden Retriever parent.
Is The White Goldendoodle Rare?
Contrary to what some might think, the white Goldendoodle is quite rare. Although its white coat is highly sought after, it can be a little bit difficult to produce one.
This is because Golden Retrievers (which are one of the parent breeds of the white Goldendoodle), do not produce any of the two recessive alleles which are needed to produce the Goldendoodle’s white coat.
Because of this, it can also be almost impossible to get a white Goldendoodle as an F1 Goldendoodle puppy.
Still, the high demand for the white Goldendoodle has made a lot of breeders in various states opt for producing the snow white Goldendoodles
White Goldendoodle with Wavy Coat
This is a lot easier to groom than the curly coat as the wavy fur could make brushing a lot easier. You are guaranteed a non-shedding white Goldendoodle if it comes out with a white wavy coat. All in all, most people opt for the white Goldendoodle with a wavy coat type.
Do White Goldendoodles Change Color?
No, the white Goldendoodle is one of the very few Goldendoodle color variants that are known to maintain a particular coat color from birth till they grow older. The clearing trait, which is responsible for most Goldendoodles losing their coat colors as they age, is not present in white Goldendoodles.

Red Goldendoodles are created by crossing a dark Golden Retriever with a dark-colored poodle. The Poodle parent has the most to contribute when it comes to coat color, so the color of the Poodle parent is especially important when creating Red Goldendoodles.

What Kind of Coat a Red Goldendoodle Will Have?
When Goldendoodle puppies are babies, you can look at the hair around their noses to be able to tell what their coat pattern will be.

Most breeders can tell you reliably which coat pattern your puppy will have just based on this information.
Why do Red Goldendoodles Change Color?
All Goldendoodle coat colors can change over time. You need to be aware of this if you are looking for a dog based solely on its coat color. This is part of the Poodle genetic makeup, and it is quite common in all colors of Goldendoodle. When a dog keeps its color from the time it is a puppy to the end of its life, it is called “holding.” Most dogs experience, “clearing” instead, where the coat slowly changes colors and becomes less vibrant with age.
The ears and the area around the nose will often retain the most original color of a dog’s puppy coat, but the rest of the dog might lighten over time. This is something that breeders cannot control, and you will need to be acceptant of this fact when you are choosing a Red Goldendoodle for your companion.

You will pay more for the smaller dogs within the breed, and you need to be prepared for this factor if you are shopping for a Mini-Red Goldendoodle or a toy Red Goldendoodle. The standard dogs are much more common and are usually easier to find and afford. The standard Red Goldendoodle will be about 50-90 pounds and be about 20-26 inches tall. This is one of the larger Goldendoodles, and you will need to be prepared for a dog that is larger than medium size. This is sometimes a surprise for Goldendoodle owners who might have had a smaller standard dog in the past in another color.
​
Curly Coat
The curly coat will be the most Poodle-like of the coat patterns. Curly coats are high maintenance, and they often cannot be cared for easily if you are not a dog groomer. This is a beautiful coat pattern, but it will necessitate a lot more grooming than the other coat types. Curly coats are often short and tight and much less fluffy than the other coat types.
