goldendoodles

[lute]

hey all,

my parents and i are considering a goldendoodle. but i would NEVER get a dog unless i know more about the breed/breeds the dog is. i've never owned a poodle or a golden.

here are my questions....

do they shed?
are they barkers?
are they easy to train?
do they need lots of exersize?
how big do they get?
are they generally good with kids?
how much do they eat?
do they have any common health problems?
what colors do they come in?

thanks LOTS!!!:D :D :D

I don't know a whole lot about the "breed" but I would assume that they need quite a bit of excersize and they were breeding Goldens with poodles so they wouldn't shed so they probably don't shed alot if at all. I have heard they are good with kids but then again any dog can be good with kids if properly raised. As for colours I have seen them in a light yellow and a golden colour and i think there are some black ones too. I know Labradoodles only come in Black, yellow and chocolate but I'm not too sure about Goldendoodles. I probably wasn't alot of help, hopefully someone else has better answers. Also they probably get between 20-25 inches tall.
