The Goldendoodle History
The Goldendoodle is a mixed breed dog (or crossbreed) from a Golden Retriever and a Poodle. In Australia, this designer breed is known as the Groodle.
Beginning in the 1990s, breeders began deliberately breeding Golden Retrievers with Poodles using only standard-sized Poodles. But history credits the very first Goldendoodle back in 1969 by Monica Dickens, the great-granddaughter of the English writer, Charles Dickens, as guide dogs for people with allergies and visual impairment.
