Our Groodles
Ever wondered what the outcome would be if you combined the most intelligent dog breed in the world with the most affectionate?
Our goal has always been simple…
…to produce the kind of Groodles that allow other families to experience what we experienced with George.
A dog that becomes so much more than just a pet. A constant presence in everyday family life, whether that’s beach mornings, café runs, kids sport on weekends or curled up beside the family at the end of the day.
We believe the Groodle has the potential to be one of the finest family companions there is when bred with enough intention, experience and care behind every generation. Our focus has always been on producing multigenerational Groodles that are a true reflection of everything the breed should be. Stable, intelligent, affectionate and deeply human focused dogs with beautiful temperaments, strong structure and the signature teddy bear look families know and love.
While Groodles are technically a hybrid breed, generations of careful multigenerational breeding allows for a far greater level of consistency, predictability and refinement across temperament, coat, structure and overall quality. We’ve poured our heart and soul into improving the breed with every generation, with temperament always at the centre of everything we do.
Every pairing within our program is carefully selected with the long term future of the breed in mind, with the goal of producing Groodles that are not only beautiful, but genuinely exceptional companions in every sense of the word.

One of the biggest advantages of carefully bred multigenerational Groodles is the increased consistency and predictability in size across generations. Through selective breeding over many years, we’ve been able to intentionally produce Groodles with the structure, height and weight ranges that best suit the Aussie family life.
While some first generation Groodles, which are a direct Golden Retriever x Poodle cross, can grow quite large and heavy, sometimes reaching well over 30kg, we’ve intentionally focused on breeding slightly smaller, more athletic and agile Groodles based on the feedback and lifestyles of our forever families.
Our dogs are still considered solid, medium to large family dogs, but they tend to carry more of the longer legged, athletic Poodle style frame rather than being overly bulky or oversized. One of the main differences between our Medium and Standard Groodles is often height more than overall weight.
For many families, this has become the perfect balance. A dog that still feels like a “bigger” companion, while remaining practical enough to comfortably fit into everyday life, whether that’s cuddling on the couch, travelling in the car, heading to the beach or fitting comfortably in the boot after a weekend away.
While we understand the appeal of very small “mini” Groodles, this isn’t something we personally pursue within our program. Both Golden Retrievers and Standard Poodles are naturally larger breeds, and for families specifically wanting a dog significantly smaller than our Medium range, we generally recommend considering other beautiful oodle breeds such as Cavoodles or Spoodles that are genetically better suited to smaller sizing.
Why Multigenerational Matters
One of the biggest differences within the Groodle breed comes down to generations. While terms like F1, F1B and Multigenerational can sound a little confusing, they actually tell you a lot about how predictable a puppy is likely to be as it grows.
Chances are you've probably seen an F1 Groodle before. They're often the big, oversized Groodles with huge fluffy retriever like coats that made so many people fall in love with the breed in the first place. An F1 Groodle is a direct Golden Retriever × Poodle cross, and while they can be absolutely beautiful dogs, they can also be quite unpredictable.
Because they're the first hybrid cross, puppies within the same litter can mature very differently. Some may inherit a thick Retriever style coat with minimal furnishings, while others may have a finer Poodle frame with a curlier coat. Some may grow into a compact medium sized dog, while others can end up much larger than expected. Coat type, shedding, structure and even certain temperament traits can vary considerably from puppy to puppy.
As multigenerational breeders, we've spent years carefully breeding Groodle to Groodle, selecting for health, temperament, coat quality and overall consistency. With each generation, the breed becomes more refined and predictable.
What does that mean for our forever families?
It means we can give you a much clearer idea of what your puppy is likely to look like and be like as an adult. Size becomes more predictable. Coat types become more consistent. Furnishings are stronger. Shedding is reduced. Temperaments become more stable.
We fell in love with Groodles for the same reasons most families do. Multigenerational breeding simply allows us to produce puppies that are more consistent in the traits that people are looking for when they choose the breed.
