Goldendoodles are slowly becoming one of the most popular mixed-breed dogs in America, and it is not hard to see why when you spend a little bit of time with them. You may be wondering, however, who exactly the target audience is for these dogs. After all, there are so many dogs out there already how could another breed possibly break into the more mainstream market? The simple answer is that Goldendoodles are one of the best possible family pets there are.

Here are a few reasons why you should think about browsing Goldendoodle puppies for sale.

Soft Approach To Children

One of the main reasons why Goldendoodles work so well in a family home is simple: they treat children with extreme care. They have a very low prey drive among dogs, which simply means they don't feel that primal urge to hunt, which can cause some dogs to be rougher with smaller things i.e. children. Goldendoodles love affection from children, whether that is hugs, squishes, kisses, or anything else, and while they may get tired of them eventually and wander off for a bit of recovery, they will not snap or scratch at kids even if they are being obnoxious at times.

Long Life

If you do get a Goldendoodle puppy, then you should get, at the very least, a decade out of this beautiful dog before they start to experience any kind of health failure or potentially pass away. In many cases, Goldendoodles live well over 12 or 13 years, and sometimes they can get close to 17, but that is rarer. For a larger dog, however, that is a pretty good lifespan and one that is often less impacted by health conditions by many other dogs breed specifically to be cute, such as pugs or sausage dogs. 

High Levels Of Activity

Goldendoodles are not just very intelligent, due to their poodle heritage, but they are also quite active and love to run around and play. Their intelligence gives you both the ability to control them if they are getting too boisterous with certain learned commands, while their activity allows children to tire themselves out trying to keep up with them for hours on end. It really is a perfect combination of intelligence and personality to make the parents feel at ease with this dog and the fun, playful side which engages children of all ages at any time.
