This book examines the Goldendoodle, a cross between a golden retriever and a poodle. The history, development, and behaviors of the Goldendoodle's parent breeds are discussed. Genetics are introduced, as are inherited traits and their role in the possibility of illness in the dog and allergic reactions in people. The Goldendoodle's coat, color, size, behavior, and care instructions are also highlighted with full-color photos and engaging, easy-to-read text. Includes an index and glossary.
