For these folks, The goldendoodle puppies for sale Chicago breeders offer might be a good option.

Goldendoodles are a mix, not purebred. Because of the popularity of other cross breeds, breeders introduced Golden Retrievers to Poodles believing the result would be a large, intelligent animal that was friendly and hypoallergenic. Goldendoodles haven't been around very long, so when you pick one from a litter it will probably be a first generation puppy and not the product of two adult Goldendoodles.

With Goldendoodles you have your pick of three sizes. The smallest are the miniatures, or toys, weighing in at fifteen or so pounds and standing about twelve inches high. The other two sizes are the small and large standard. The largest of the dogs can weigh almost a hundred pounds and reach two feet as adults. There are no breeder standards yet. Your dog's size may vary from the average.
