The Teddy Bear Goldendoodle is an affectionate and

gentle dog that has gained popularity since they were first 

developed in the 1990s. Goldendoodles are usually very social 

and get along well with everyone. They don't generally do well in any

type of guarding or watchdog role and should not be used for that

 purpose. With adequate exercise, they do well

in most environments. Goldendoodles do best when housed within 

a home environment as they thrive when they are in the company of their

 families. Goldendoodles are very versatile working dogs. 

They have achieved success as guide dogs, service dogs,

therapy dogs, and sniffer dogs (one study tested their success as 

sniffing out peanuts in foods for owners with 

 nut allergies). Goldendoodles have also done well in

agility. Goldendoodles can be very easy to train and

 are a good match for first-time or timid owners.

They're not known to have any aggressive

 traits, but they do need proper socialization to avoid any 

shyness or fearfulness. Goldendoodles also need daily contact 

with their owners: they will suffer from separation anxiety 

if they are left alone for too long.
