Groodles are frequently described as “gentle”.  They are said to have both intelligence and a sunny disposition and because of their desire to please, Groodles make fantastic family companions.
Groodles by nature love their families and do very well with children.  They are intelligent and eager to please, making them easy to train.
Groodles have shown good potential as working dogs.  They are sometimes used as guide dogs, sniffer dogs, service dogs, and therapy dogs.  A low-shedding coat provides an advantage when working with people.  The first Groodle Seeing Eye dog was trained at Guide Dogs of America.  Miniature Groodles are now also working as hearing dogs.

A well-bred Groodle is a healthy, robust breed.  It’s important that the breeder is testing for as many hereditary diseases as possible to reduce the risk of health issues.  Professional Groodle breeders aim to develop the breed to ensure it’s a healthy breed with very few common health issues.  Health testing of the parents is one important tool but keeping detailed records of their dogs and any puppies sold which may have developed a health issue later on in life is just as important.  This gives the breeder a better understanding of any common issues occurring in their bloodlines. The breeder can then study their breeding program more carefully and consult a genetic expert if necessary to alter their breeding program.  Although Groodle breeders are aiming to produce litters of puppies which are consistent in temperament, size and shape they have not gone down the same track as “pedigree” breeds.  Pedigree breeds share the same common ancestry i.e. inbred.  This is often termed as “line breeding”.  Although this can be a quick way to producing consistency within a litter of puppies it can also lead to some genetic disasters due to a lack of genetic diversity
A healthy Groodle’s life expectancy is between 12years and 15 years.

When it comes to grooming your Groodle there are a few things that need to be considered. The coat type for example is it a non-shedding wool or fleece coat or is it a first cross Groodle with a hair coat? And how long would you like the coat to be kept? Flat hair coats shed but are easy to care for. Wool coats may not shed at all but will require more clipping. All most all of our Groodles are Mulit-Generation Groodles with non to very low shedding coats so most of our puppies new owners clip their dogs once very 2 or 3 months making their coat quite easy to maintain, however if you prefer to keep the coat very long your Groodle will require regular brushing to keep it matt free.
Groodles can come in a range of colours including shades of red, brown/chocolate, cream, black, silver apricot, party colour and white.

Groodles require a moderate amount of daily exercise.  They especially enjoy retrieving games and as both parent breeds are water dogs, Groodles love the water.
