Feeding notes for Goldendoodles
- Size varies significantly by generation and parent sizes (standard, mini, or petite), so confirming your specific dog's actual adult weight range matters more than for a standardized breed.
- Inherits obesity tendencies from the Golden Retriever side in many lines — regular hands-on body-condition checks are a good habit given the curly coat can mask weight gain.
