The Goldendoodle Temperament 

The Goldendoodle is a highly intelligent dog and a very social pet, who loves to be the center of attention and a part of all that is going on.  While he can make a good watch dog, don’t expect him to guard your home - the Goldendoodle is a very affectionate individual who seems to love everyone.  They are especially wonderful with children and do well in homes with other pets, provided they are introduced to them early on.  Older dogs can be accepting of other dogs, though patience and supervision may be needed with cats and other small animals, due to the Goldendoodle’s natural hunting instincts.
