A Goldendoodle is difficult to resist, with its joyful, smile and teddy bear-like coat.

As if their cuteness wasn’t enough, they’re also very clever, non-aggressive, simple to teach, and extremely loving.

The lively Goldendoodle is a great option for busy families seeking a loyal, loving companion dog that will love a range of activities – anything from relaxing on the sofa to going for a swim on a hot summer day.

What are the prices of Goldendoodle puppies? 

Standard – $2,300; Medium – $2,300; Miniature – $2,600; and Petite (Micro) – $3,600, but costs vary significantly based on location, demand, and quality. Adopting a Goldendoodle costs between $200 and $400 on average.

You may have heard that they aren’t cheap. Perhaps even costly! Of course, everything is relative. It depends on the specifics of what you’re searching for, as it does with most things.

Let’s look at some real-world costs, learn about the different variables that influence pricing, and figure out how to identify a good breeder.

Bringing home a new puppy, particularly one as adorable as a Goldendoodle, is one of life’s greatest joys.

To prepare yourself to be an excellent pet parent, you should study as much as possible about the breed, preferably before deciding on a puppy.

Actual Goldendoodle Puppy Prices

Many individuals consider the price of a Goldendoodle while making their choice. Knowing what to anticipate in terms of price may help with decision-making.

Here’s a table with pricing from various Goldendoodle breeders throughout the nation to give you a sense of how different costs may be.

Name	Location	Standard	Medium	Miniature	Petite (Micro)
Doodles of NC	North Carolina	—-	$2,300	$2,300	—-
Yankee Doodles and Poodles	Pennsylvania	$2,200	$2,200	$2,200	$2,200
Mini Doodle Dogs	Utah	—-	—-	$3,000	$3,400
Beyond Bliss Doodles	New York	$1,950	$1,950	$2,250	—-
Teddy Bear Goldendoodles	Alabama	$2,895	$2,895	$3,095	$5,095

Keep in mind that the purchase price is just a small part of the total expense of acquiring a new puppy.

Because Goldendoodles are a crossbreed, there are no official breed criteria.

Different breeders may categorise their dogs based on their own criteria and nomenclature, which is acceptable but may cause some confusion.

A 20-pound dog, for example, may be referred to as miniature by one breeder and petite by another.

To add to the confusion, the words petite and micro are used interchangeably at times and to refer to two different sizes at other times.

Petite is used by the majority of breeders for dogs ranging between 10 and 25 pounds, while micro is used for dogs weighing less than 10 pounds.

What Factors Influence the Price of Goldendoodle Puppies?

You’ve probably observed that costs vary a lot across breeders. Why, exactly, is the question? The pricing inconsistencies are caused by a number of reasons.

Demand And Location

The cost of Goldendoodle pups is heavily influenced by the breeder’s location.

When compared to those living in more rural regions, breeders in or near major cities have a greater number of individuals to sell their pups to (who tend to earn higher salaries).

Most Goldendoodle breeders have trouble keeping up with demand for their pups, and many have a waiting list for future litters.

Of course, no respectable breeder would endanger the health of their dogs by over-breeding to meet demand, but many will raise their prices when demand is strong.

Size

The size category of a Goldendoodle has an effect on its pricing. In general, the more expensive a dog is, the smaller it is.

This is because the smaller versions take more time, money, and effort to manufacture.

Goldendoodles of the first generation (F1) are typically the cheapest. Breeding a Golden Retriever with a Poodle is a simple way to create them.

A breeder must wait until the F1 is old enough to be mated to another F1 or a Poodle in future generations.

After then, the procedure would be repeated to create additional generations.

Other generations’ prices are greater because of the time and complexity involved.

Goldendoodles of various generations have distinct features, including coat type and shedding habits, which may influence pricing.

F1B Goldendoodles, for example, are in great demand since they shed very little and are generally well tolerated by allergy sufferers. Naturally, their price will be greater. However, regardless of the kind of coat or the amount of shedding, regular maintenance should not be neglected.

To comb through knots, smooth out the hair, and distribute naturally existing oils throughout the coat, you’ll need a sturdy slicker brush at the very least.

A stainless steel comb is also suggested for getting all the way down to the skin and preventing matting.

Pedigrees And Health Screenings

In order to create the healthiest and least shedding pups possible, high-quality breeders will screen their dogs for genetic diseases and shedding genes on a regular basis.

Unfortunately, the breed has been linked to certain health issues.

The expenses of these tests mount up fast and are reflected in the price of the pups.

Despite the fact that Goldendoodles cannot be registered with organisations like the American Kennel Club, they should have a pedigree that details their lineage.

Goldendoodles with champion titles and other bragging rights in their lineage will be more expensive.

How To Locate A Reputable Goldendoodle Breeder

It’s tempting to buy a lovely little Goldendoodle from the first local breeder you see.

When it comes to dog breeders, though, location isn’t nearly as essential as quality.

So, how can you determine whether a breeder is good or bad? It isn’t difficult if you know what to look for and are aware of typical red flags.

A good breeder will:

• Ask you questions to see whether a Goldendoodle is the perfect dog for you.
• Allow the pups to be raised inside and to spend as much time as possible with their mother.
• Regularly test their pets for hereditary problems and be open to discussing the findings.
• Allow you to meet the pups’ parents and see their living quarters.
• Provide you with information about puppy care, vaccination and deworming regimens, and Goldendoodle temperament.
• Obtain a health certificate for your puppy from a certified veterinarian.

The following are red flags:

• Adult dogs are in bad health or are confined to tiny cages.
• In the company of humans, puppies seem to be uneasy or frightened.
• The breeder refuses to show you where the pups are housed.
• There were no health checks carried out.
• Price is unusually cheap.
• There’s a lot of pressure for a fast sale.
• There are unpleasant smells present.
• There isn’t any documentation.

When searching for a Goldendoodle breeder, take your time and browse around until you discover one that radiates confidence and expertise.

The Goldendoodle Association of North America has compiled a list of reputable breeders organised by the state to assist you in your search.

Can I Adopt A Goldendoodle?

Unfortunately, Goldendoodles sometimes wind up in less-than-ideal situations, are unable to be cared for, or, worse, are unwanted.

These unfortunate canines often end themselves in shelters, where they await their destiny. Those who are fortunate may be rescued by volunteers from rescue groups.

Although Goldendoodles are often described as hypoallergenic, this does not always imply that no one will be allergic to them. It’s simply that they have a lot less dander than other breeds.

Given this, you may come across a Beagle mix that needs to be re-homed due to an allergic response to them.

You have many choices if you want to adopt a Goldendoodle who is seeking a loving home.

Your local animal shelter may be able to help you. It can’t hurt to give it a go. If they don’t have one available right now, they may be able to direct you to local rescue organisations or shelters.

Your veterinarian may also be able to provide you with some useful information.

Goldendoodles may be available for adoption on websites like Petfinder or Adopt-a-Pet.com.

Another site worth checking into is Poo-Mix Rescue, which specialises in helping people locate Poodle mixes to adopt.

The quickest method to find a Goldendoodle for adoption is to join Goldendoodle groups on Facebook and other social media platforms.

Members of these organisations are generally Goldendoodle enthusiasts who will go out of their way to find you a suitable Goldendoodle.
