Episode Goldendoodle 101 (2026 Update): Temperament, Health Testing, and How to Find an Ethical Breeder
Thinking about a Goldendoodle, or living with one who's more furry tornado than teddy bear? This 2026 Goldendoodle 101 gives you the complete picture: the breed's surprising service-dog origins, the field vs show Golden distinction that explains so much about red Doodles, why "vet checked" is not health tested, the COI number that stunned a New Yorker writer, and exactly how to find an ethical breeder. Plus the story of Amy Lane of Fox Creek Farm, creator of the Mini Goldendoodle and founder of GANA, whose business partner joins me next week with two more GANA board members.
