Labradoodle and goldendoodle

[Malenie Piscetelli]

I have a question....which dog do you like the most labradoodle or goldendoodle and why? I want a puppy and I am trying to figure it out which one is the best for me. I grew up with poodles. Please help me. I would appreciate. Thank you.

I think from a "breed" perspective they are very close.  I would look for a great breeder who does all the important health testing and considers temperament as a key component of her breeding dog selections.  A healthy Doodle with a calm temperament is what you really want to look for in my opinion.  I should add that I have two Australian Labradoodles,

I have an Australian Labradoodle but I know (and love) plenty of golden doodles and I think they are very similar. In fact, our first vet had a golden doodle and when she first saw Finn, she was sure he was a golden doodle.  Temperament and looks-wise, they could have been twins.  I looked at 2 different litters of golden doodles before getting Finn --and again, very much the same.  I ended up getting an ALD because I wanted a 35 -50 lb. doodle and I wanted a fleecy coat non shedding coat and that was more predictable with a mutigeneration doodle. But if I were to get a second doodle, either would be great! Finding a good breeder that puts health testing and temperament first is the most important decision.  Good luck with whatever choice you make.

and I have a Rhode Island Labradoodle that looks just like an extra large version of Finnegan :) LOL Go for health testing and temperament first, like Cheryl said. Good luck!

I agree with ALL the comments. We LOVED Goldens, but not the shedding, So we knew we would lean towards a Goldendoodle. A neighbor of mine had labradoodles that were also Lovely. I was just partial to the look of the Goldendoodles! You will LOVE whatever you choose! They are Wonderful family members~

PS- They are addictive Beware!!! We now have "2"!!

They are both wonderful dogs.  We personally have a Goldendoodle, but have several friends who have Labradoodles.  There really is not that much difference from our experience.  Just do a lot of research on the breeder and pick the dog that has the best temperament. You will be happy and delighted with whatever doodle you decide upon...they are wonderful & loyal companions...Best of Luck in your search:)
