Bernedoodles & Groodles
Travelling Overseas
The breed of groodle (Golden retriever cross poodle) originated in North America in the early 90’s and quickly became a popular breed for their intelligence, sweet disposition , trainability and loving natures. They are also known in the States as goldendoodles. Groodles typically live for 12-15 years and come in 3 sizes, standard, medium and miniature. Standard 18-30 kgs, Medium 15-18 kgs, Miniature 10-14kgs.
At BB&G we breed all three sizes and have been working with overseas breeders to infuse intense red and white abstracts into our groodle lines. We breed F1, F1b, F2b, F3 and multigenerational groodles. Our groodles range in colour from intense red to cream and gold, merle, chocolate and black phantom. We have recently introduced Ultra groodles to our program. An Ultra groodle has a higher percentage retriever in their DNA and they resemble big fluffy teddy bears. They have all the features of the groodle that we love with smooth fleece non shedding coats and the beautiful blocky features of the retriever.
Our groodles have either fleece or wool coats. Fleece coats are soft and wavy and low to non-shedding. Wool coats have tighter curls and are usually more dense. We recommend wool coat groodles for allergy sufferers as the chance of dander leaving pup’s coat is reduced. Whether you like the look of a fleece coat or wool, both need regular grooming. We recommend professional grooming every 6-8 weeks to keep your groodle looking great.
Groodles need regular activity such as a daily walk or playing fetch in the backyard. It is important to remember that over exercising your pup in the early months can lead to long term damage of the joints, hips and elbows.
