Portraits of Goldendoodles

Goldendoodles are a cross between a Golden Retriever and a Poodle, popularized in the 1990s, and they've become one of the most familiar family dogs in America. Because they're a mix rather than a recognized breed, they don't appear on the AKC's list, and they vary a lot: size depends on whether a Standard, Miniature or Toy Poodle is involved, and coats range from loose waves to tight curls.

That variety is exactly why a Goldendoodle portrait should follow your own dog, not a template. The features to protect are the coat texture, the shape of the face under the fluff and those dark eyes and nose against a cream, apricot or red coat. A fresh teddy-bear cut and a shaggy mid-grooming look produce very different portraits, so choose the version of your Doodle you love most. Soft, warm styles bring out their cuddly charm.

Photo tips for your Doodle

    Doodle fluff can hide the eyes completely. Trim, brush or use a photo from just after grooming.
  2. 02Protect light coats

    Cream coats wash out in bright sun. Open shade keeps the curl texture visible.
  3. 03Pick your favorite haircut

    The portrait follows your photo, so choose the cut you'd want to remember.
