If you are an animal lover and a prospective dog owner, one of the toughest decisions that you can make is what breed of dog fits into your lifestyle. For some people, the chief concerns when choosing can range from allergies all the way to whether or not the breed has a penchant for being a "family" dog. Although there is no "perfect" breed to fit everyones needs, there is usually at least one breed that makes a great pet for just about everyone.

There are a wide variety of "hybrid" breeds that are bred to take advantage of the positive traits from both breeds involved. For instance, the Goldendoodle is a hybrid mix between a Golden Retriever and a Poodle. A reputable Goldendoodle breeder can help answer your questions about whether or not this hybrid breed is right for you. Some of the characteristics that make Goldendoodles great pets are:

Trainability: Since both Poodles and Golden Retrievers are generally very intelligent breeds, they are very responsive to the right training methods. The hybrid breed responds well to positive reinforcement and consistency. This breed, incidentally, makes for great service dogs as well.

Grooming: The Goldendoodle does not require much grooming attention, especially since they tend to be very hypo-allergenic and non-shedding. However, it is important to remember, if the temperatures start to rise you will need to trim down their coats to help them stay cool. Their coats do grow constantly, so you want to make sure that they stay clipped and combed to prevent knotting.

Temperament: Goldendoodle breeders are the first step to getting a dog with a good temperament. They enjoy human companionship, tend to get along with other animals and also are very intelligent.

Character: This breed of dog tends to have a very "wise" look to its face. They are usually full grown at 1 year old and they have a shaggy beard on their face, and at times can look a little disheveled. Like any dog, they are not big fans of being constantly crated or being without their family

It is always a good idea to make sure that the dog you choose to bring into your family be a good fit for your family and your familys lifestyle. Sedentary lifestyles are not the best fit for a Goldendoodle, as they are a hybrid of two working breed dog types that like to be stimulated.

Lastly, enjoy your dog, whichever breed you decide to embrace.
