"Lively, funny, intelligent, and true: that's the Goldendoodle. This beautiful dog is a cross between the cheerful, happy-go-lucky Golden Retriever and the faithful, fun-loving Poodle. First bred about three decades ago, these now-popular dogs make faithful household companions. Here is everything new pet owners will need to know about life with their Goldendoodle. Like all of Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals, this book is filled with useful information and heavily illustrated with instructive, high-quality photos. Every book in this series is written by breeders, trainers, veterinarians, and other pet-care specialists, and offers advice on purchasing, feeding, health care, training, grooming, and other aspects of responsible pet ownership." -- ONIX annotation.
