By nature, a first generation hybrid cross offspring(f1) will grow healthier and live longer than either parent line. However, that offspring can be prone to any genetic diseases shared by both the Golden Retriever and the Standard Poodle – this is called hybrid vigor.
At Arizona Goldendoodles we test for all of the health concerns that might be passed down from the parents prior to breeding and throughout the breeding process. If a concern arises on any test, we retire the dog in question to a great forever home.
