We live in central Iowa and have raised family pets for 25 years. We recently started breeding Golden Doodles and Labradoodles after reading about them on the Internet. We immediately fell in love with the hybrid personality which is loyal, affectionate, eager to please, easy to train with a sweet and patient nature.  They relate well to people, especially children, and other animals.  We have found that the best disposition of both breeds consistently comes out in our pups.  The pups are low shedding to non-shedding which gives you the benefit of a medium to large size dog with more of the Labrador Retriever and Golden Retriever look.  We were hooked!
