FAQs

The Groodle Breed began their life as a Golden Retriever parent and a Poodle parent. These days though, a groodle can be a Groodle parent with a Golden Retriever or Poodle parent or, a Groodle and Groodle parent.

The Groodle, along with other Oodle breeds, are very popular due to their shaggy, full, hypoallergenic coats, consistent temperaments and their snuggly, cuddly needs. This is a breed that often fits with most families or owners' needs. If you want to go for a fabulous early morning beach jog…..? Your Groodle is with you! A Saturday night on the sofa with popcorn, Netflix bingeing and a big throw rug? Yep, your Groodle is totally down with that too. They are such resilient and adaptable all-round dogs.

We breed both the Standard Groodle as well as the Miniature Groodle.

Our standard Groodles grow to 25kg – 30kg and have a height of approximately 60cm to the shoulder.

Our miniature Groodles are a tiny 6kg – 9kg and have a height of approximately 30cm to the shoulder.

We have both fleece coat and wool coat Groodles.

Wool coats are similar to that of a Poodle with beautiful soft curls that can be kept nice and short for ease of bathing and cleaning, or grown long and lush with regular grooming required to keep the fur matt-free. Wool coats are often preferred for allergy sufferers as we can confidently say these coats do not shed.

Fleece coats are a straighter coat that can also be kept short to maintain a beautiful velvet feel or grown long with maintenance of regular brushing and grooming to ensure the teddy bear image maintains a matt-free coat.

Murphy (F1 Groodle) and Matilda (F1 Groodle) were our first ever breeding pair due to their consistent, even temperaments along with Murphy’s glorious red fleece coat and Matilda’s white wool creating a fabulous mix of each style in the litters.

We are now breeding their offspring and their ‘grand-offspring’ and are proud to be carrying on the genetics that created Adelaide Groodles. We love to see these beautiful puppies become the dogs that bring smiles and love to many families and schools throughout Australia.

Of course! Our mama’s are with their babies usually up until the pups age of 8 weeks and will be on the property when you come to view the litter and select your puppy. Occasionally, we utilise the amazing Stud services of other ethical breeders. These boys will not be available for viewing but, we will certainly share their photos and DNA reports with you.

Catch ups organised by Sam and Amanda are often held at West Beach and are held approximately 5 times a year. We find that litter mates sometimes have their own little private catch ups as well.

We feed our dogs Advance Medium Breed biscuits for our standard Groodles and Advance Small Oodle biscuits for our miniatures.

We also add LYKA to their meals.

F1 = Poodle x Golden Retriever

F1B = F1 Groodle x Poodle or F1 Groodle x Golden Retriever

F2 = F1 Groodle x F1 Groodle

Multigen = Two Groodle parents. One parent is usually an F1B or multigen. A Poodle or a Golden Retriever bred to a multigen Groodle also constitutes a multigen Groodle.

We breed white right through to black – this includes red, apricot, honey, caramel and parti coloured = black and white or white and gold.

Ears, ear infections, ear gunk! We always say, prevention is better than a cure, so keeping these fabulous floppy ears clean and dry goes a long way to avoiding ear infections.

Some people have found that eliminating chicken from the Groodle diet also helps to keep yeast build up and infections at bay.

We also recommend that no puppies have access to jumping off stairs, beds or sofas. Just like every breed of dog, the Groodle has very soft bones when they leave our home to go to your home at 8 weeks of age and we can’t stress enough to protect their bones! We suggest no excessive activity such as running at the park or backyard. All activities should be short and enjoyable with a lot of rest and relaxation.

If you regularly brush your Groodle, you may be able to stretch your Groomer visits out to around 12 weeks but many people prefer to have their Groodle groomed every 6 to 8 weeks.

Learning to groom your Groodle is a fun activity that will save you money and give you bonding time with your Groodle.
