Breed History
 
The ‘Groodle’ has been in existence since the 1960’s.
The initial purpose of the cross between the Golden Retriever and the Poodle was to develop a breed of dog suitable for visually impaired individuals suffering from dog-sensitive allergies.

Breeding the placid, loyal and good-natured temperament of the Golden Retriever, with the high intelligence of the Poodle was seen to be a desirable mix, and many of the offspring produced were deemed highly trainable, affectionate and friendly.

Today, the Groodle is a relatively well-known breed with a fabulous reputation, good genetic benefits and which displays great charm and spunk. They also display what is known as ‘hybrid vigour’, meaning the cross-breed is likely to be genetically healthier than their pure bred parents.

As Groodles are ‘hybrid’ dogs, they do not conform to any of the strict breeding standards found within associations such as the Australian National Kennel Council.
Instead of focusing on certain ‘aesthetic qualities’, Groodles Australia concentrates specifically on the health, temperament and ethical breeding practices of this breed.

Groodles have become a popular choice for many, with some being specially trained to become service dogs, companion animals for children with disabilities (including autism) and as medical alert dogs (for diabetics and epileptics).

This beautiful breed suits individuals and families from all walks of life, and we think they are very special indeed.

TESTMONIES

Hello all its Bree, Locky and Donna We just wanted to let you know that Oscar (little boy) is doing very well. Today he went to puppy day care and he went very well top of the class. He is enjoying our garden very much, his our own little gardener, his pulling out the grass and watering it for us, oh and pulling out our sprinklers. He is so great he has made our life wonderful we still have much to learn. Thanks so much, we would recommend you to anybody who would be thinking of buying a groodle. Once again thanks.

Jenni & Tilly

We are very happy with our decision to purchase our groodle pup. Purchasing Tilly through Jeannet’s groodle program gave us confidence that we were buying a healthy pup Tilly has settled in quickly; and with the help of puppy pre-school is an easy to train, beautiful natured dog. She has quickly found a place in all our hearts. She is always close by, enjoys being handled, is easy to groom, easy to please. She puts a smile on all our faces every day!

Regards, Jenni

Thank you so much for the effort that you put in to join her with us, we couldn't be happier as she fit in straight away.
Her favourite things seem to be eating cheese (much like myself), attempting to get our cats to play with her (they do not agree with this), chasing her frisbee, and stealing the best seat on the couch!
