The Toy Goldendoodle is a breed dog that has been developed combining three different breeds – the Golden Retriever, the Poodle, and the Cocker Spaniel. The breeders have purposely arranged this mixing to form a tiny-sized Goldendoodle.
To accomplish the desired size, the breeders initially downsized the adult female golden retrievers by crossing them with the cocker spaniels. This gave birth to a breed named Golden Cocker Retrievers, which in turn were bred with the miniature poodles. The puppies that came from this breeding are the Toy Goldendoodles. Thus, this resultant new breed is a ¼ Goldendoodle, a ¼ Cocker Spaniel, and a ½ Poodle.
The Toy Goldendoodle has curly hair, round black eyes, a dark muzzle, and floppy ears hanging close to their shoulders.

Temperament and Behavior

Petite Goldendoodles are small dogs teddy-bear like dogs with prominent personalities. They are very obedient and are quite attached to their families. Their intelligent nature helps them bridge an understanding between their human companions. They also serve as excellent therapy dogs for the elderly.

They are social dogs that would be happy mingling with people. The Petites are even tolerant of strangers, children, and pets. Because of their smaller size, they make excellent apartment dogs. They are usually quiet though they will bark to alert their families if they see an intruder, thus being a good watchdog.

These little ones have derived their intelligence and loving nature from their Poodle and Golden Retriever families. They also have a naughty side and might pick up behavioral issues if left alone for very long periods.

Care

Exercise

The Petite Goldendoodle is fairly active and needs regular exercise for maintaining general fitness. Taking it out for moderate walks and allowing it to play inside a safe enclosure would meet its exercise needs and satisfy its playing instinct. Occasional trips to the dog park is also a great idea.

Grooming

Toy Goldendoodles have medium long hair and would need a moderate amount of maintenance. Their curly or wavy coat needs your attention at least once or twice a week. Brush them with a soft-bristled brush to ensure hygiene. You should also take care that their hair does not get entangled out of negligence and stay clean.

Health Problems

No breed-specific health issues have been noticed in the Petite. Though, you must not rule out general issues like dysplasia, cataracts, Progressive Retinal Atrophy, and a few of those that are common to all breeds in general. Also, before bringing your puppy home, be sure to ask your breeder about the genetic histories of your pup’s bloodline.

Training

It is fun to train your Petite Goldendoodle. They are inclined to listen to your commands and impress you. Their intelligence, obedience, and love for learning new things make them easily trainable. Train them to socialize from their puppy days.

Also, teach them doggie manners and etiquette, since they are prone to develop behavioral issues when adult. They require few repetitions in picking up instructions and would show quick results. Hence, they are even suitable for service dog training.

Diet/Feeding

The general quantity of your Petite’s diet is the same as the other tiny dogs of its size, and levels of energy and activity. Though, if you serve your dog with dry foods like kibbles, the quantity depends on the brand of food you are serving. Also, make sure that you stick to only the high-quality foods.

Interesting Facts

  • All the Petite Goldendoodles belonging to the first generation (F1) have been conceived using artificial insemination.
  • The Toy Goldendoodles can adapt very well to confined spaces.

    Do you have any toy golden doodles available?

  5. Margaret says:

    Check out Goldendoodle Association of North America for breeders of all sizes of Goldendoodles. You are not going to find a petite or micro mini (as some are using this term) for less than $2500. Most are $3000 and more. Achieving this smaller size takes patience and time. Also fewer puppies per litter in most cases. Breeders who don’t follow the standards for breeding as outlined by GANA will have cheaper puppies, but they might have more genetic problems.
