We feed them about 2 cups of food twice a day. If you notice extra food, do a little less. If you notice not enough food, give a little more. Let them eat until they stop and leave it alone. Then remove the bowl so that they don't graze. In about 20-40 minutes take them for a walk. Smaller puppies have smaller bladders so they may need to evacuate all in about that time.
If you let them eat all day, they will poop all day.
NO GRAZE EATING!!!
I feed them smart puppy iams to start. Then jump them up to adult iams.
There are many different opinions about dog foods and dog food companies.
Some facts include nutritional quality differences, teting and treatment of animals, and costs.
Iams is nutritious and good quality. The difference between it some other brands varies.
There are dog food brands that offer a much higher quality of meat and vegetables in it for alot more money.
They usually are carried in local stores and need to be shipped.
I don't personally eat exclusively organic foods so I don't consequently feed my dogs that way.
Acana, call of the wild and more are some brands for you to consider if you'd like to go that way.
Beneful, science diet, and iams are all about the same.
Stay away fom old roy and pedigree.
When you switch foods, mix half old food with half new food for about a week to ween them into it.
Canned food is usually tastier and less healthy. I avoid it unless they need it.
My vet suggested Iams. I trust my vet. Consult your vet.

Exercise
The Goldendoodle requires about 20 to 30 minutes of daily exercise.

We like to play with them. It doesn't have to be super intense. They just need to get moving around.

Are they noisy?
The Goldendoodle is not a watch dog, and he's generally not known to be
noisy. He may not bark even if someone knocks on the door.

(Ours bark when riled up byother dogs, they bark when someone new comes nearby. They stop quickly and easily. All puppies bark, but these guys aren't out of control. They're reasonable.

Hair maintenance
The Goldendoodle is considered to be a non- to light shedder, but he
requires regular grooming and clipping. If the coat is kept short, it
should be clipped every six to eight weeks and brushed every few weeks. If the coat is kept in its natural state, it should be brushed once every week or two.

In our experience it depends on how you like the coat. We like it a little longer. We cut it every 12 weeks roughly. You can do it yourself or Petgroomers will charge you between 70 and 90 dollars to do it.
They'll usually clean out their ears, trim their nails and bath them at the same time.
