Goldendoodle
OK, honestly, I saw the name of this puppy and wanted to laugh for about 10 minutes, or longer even. Come on, the name Goldendoodle is hilarious! Hahah. I am glad that it is also adorable.
Dog Trivia
The Goldendoodle is a Golden Retriever and Poodle cross. The Goldendoodle gets its name from its mixed heritage - Golden Retriever and Poodle. Goldendoodles are a hybrid dog, a first generation cross, and as such they exhibit "hybrid vigor". This is a phenomenon in animal breeding referring to the fact that the first cross between two unrelated purebred lines is healthier and grows better than either parent line. The puppies take on the best traits of both breeds. The hybrid cross between these two parent breeds are terrific family dogs, friendly, intelligent, affectionate and easy to train. As more and more people live in the city, needs have changed. Many are not looking for dogs that can hunt, but are looking for companions. The need for dogs who are playful, friendly towards people and pets, easy to train and easy to maintain has spurred breeders to cross breed two of the most intelligent and popular breeds of our time.

I think Goldendoodle is dumb. Where would you get "doodle" from "golden retriever" and "poodle"?
I think Retroodle would be more appropriate
Also hilariously named:
SNOODLE (schnauzer and poodle)
LABRADOODLE(obvious, though i prefer POOBRADOR)
i have heard of puggles too (beagle and pug)
I also think POOBRADOR is probably the funniest name for a dog ever. Hahaha. Who comes up with these things?? Hahha.
