Christy Stevens of Winding Creek Ranch Goldendoodles says "This is a wonderful book, loaded with helpful information regarding the Goldendoodle dog. I would recommend this book as a study guide prior to looking for a new breeder or a good resource to have on hand for the Goldendoodle owner. Several reputable breeders contributed to this book which is a bonus in my eyes. You will not be disappointed."

- Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2025Very interesting for a new golden doodle owner. I wish to have bought before
- Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2024great for dogs and cats that get neutered
- Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2020Nice detailed book about goldendoodles.
Goes through everything from choosing a breeder to having an older dog.
My family is new to the goldendoodle breed, so I've done lots of research.
Our puppy is almost two weeks old, so we have six more weeks until we get to bring him home! We can't wait!
My only con is I wish the pictures were in color.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2020I had done a lot of Golden Doodle research from blogs, articles, and "interviews" with friends and neighbors before getting this book in anticipation of getting my new pup and this book pretty much aligns with everything I've heard. I think the reviews saying it is very simplistic are absolutely correct! But its the simple things that are often times the most important. I think the author also includes many things that I certainly didn't consider/ didn't immediately come to the conclusion of and I find that educational as well. I think the author perfectly balances "facts", although most of his "facts" come from interviews with dog breeders so as to how much science is involved I'm not too sure, with personal account. I think experience is honestly more important than the science behind raising a puppy because happiness can't be explained by science! I'm reading it right now in between sleepless intermittent potty breaks during my pup's first couple nights home! I'll do you one up, Amazon and say I give it a 10/10 review! Excellent, easy, and educational read!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2024Dog did not work out.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2024This book is very general and is good if you're getting any dog and need some pointers. It is barely specific to the behaviors and characteristics specific to a Goldendoodle. Will it work if you want to know basics for dog care?- Yes. It will not help you really know a Goldendoodle too specifically. I'm a dog trainer and was hoping for more.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2021This was amazing! so grateful I invested in this book. Already I'm a person that enjoys reading and applying the learned knowledge to action. The information that is presented in this book allows you to get a full understanding of your puppy that is on the way. It ensures that the owner of the puppy has more than a decent amount of information on handling the puppy, with adequate resources on ensuring that you can raise your puppy with an ideal model. From grooming, to house breaking, to training, feeding, and most importantly, getting the puppy acclimated to you becoming a loyal companion forever.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2021While much of the information in the book would apply to any dog, there is still quite a bit of information that is directly related to this breed. Growing up with dogs and having one as an adult, I still found it very informative in helping us prepare to become goldendoodle pet guardians. If you are new to being a pet parent, highly recommend this book and/or any similar to get a good understanding of what you need to know.

- TansyReviewed in Australia on October 11, 2020
4.0 out of 5 stars informative
This was an informative book which
has proved helpful in the early days
as the owner of a Groodle.
Often dog books feel generic and they have only changed the name of the breed.
Golden Doodles has been written for the specific breed and is helpful in exploring the particular temperament and needs of a Golden Doodle or as we call them in Australia a Groodle.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything we needed to know!
Bought this pre-arrival of our mini golden doodle. The book is really informative and has helped us understand his behaviour and what to expect! Would recommend
- New puppy OwnerReviewed in Canada on June 18, 2022
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent summary
Easy to read for all family members
- Darie & MeraReviewed in Germany on April 29, 2019
2.0 out of 5 stars Not very satisfied
It has several insight that can be summarized in an article. Reading the book I felt that I will never be right for any dog but me and my pup are perfectly happy together. It also explains all those expectations of what a golden doodle should be and if you plan to participate in a competition it might be useful but we did choose a puppy that was not the healthiest and we helped her get better. I don’t how a different family would have handled this situation. So yes good insights but in the end do what feels right for you and not what a book tells you to.
