The phrase, “Double Doodle” is popping up all over the place in the doggie world. What exactly is a double doodle anyway? Where can I find Double Doodles? Why would you want a Double Doodle anyway? Who has one, so I can see what they look like?

Lots and lots of questions, so let’s get to some answers for you!

A Double Doodle is a name given to the cross between a labradoodle ( lab x poodle) and a goldendoodle ( golden retriever x poodle.) It is an allergy friendly dog, in most cases. A dog that has hair, rather than fur so you are not going to find shedding hair everywhere, like you might with a lab or a golden retriever. Another name for this cross is the North American Retriever.

Finding someone with a Double Doodle is hard to find! There are just a handful of breeders breeding this new breed. Outside of the U.S. I have not seen any breeders yet. The families that have a Double Doodle are usually very happy to introduce you to their Double Doodle. I recently took, what I believe is, the first Double Doodle to Amsterdam. This Double Doodle puppy was purchased by a seeing eye dog school called Desudo. Their Double Doodle was seen by many as a television station came out and filmed their Double Doodle, Lesley as well as a labradoodle, Logan, that they bought from me. You too can also view some of the show by clicking on the link here. http://www.telegraaf.nl/video/binnenland/4429922/__Doodle-pups_naar_hondenschool__.html

The reason for breeding the Double Doodle is to create not only a beautiful, allergy friendly pet, but a dog that has a calm disposition, but an eager to learn and serve type attitude. With the combination of lab, golden retriever and poodle, you will find a work horse type dog, that is calm, but also intelligent and allergy friendly. These are very beautiful dogs, but very useful and happy dogs.
