parkowner, you must be a poodle owner. If so then you must know that the "standard" refers to size nothing else. Myself and many others consider the Goldendoodle to be the epitome of the two breeds. Low to zero shed, smart and easy to train, athletic, super social and great
companions. As far as size ours is 65-70 lbs so he's never mistaken for a horse, but he sure looks different after his swim. Also he keeps our groomer employed as he goes every 4-5 weeks
To quote a nursery rhyme "if you don't have a whole poodle, a half-a-poodle will do. If you don't have a Half-a-poodle God bless you!"
I guess that means you fall into the "typical poodle owner" category. If you read what I said again you'll find I didn't degrade poodles. What ever dog makes you happy is the right one. I wanted a Doberman but my wife wanted a dog that wouldn't possibly scare our young grandchildren, the youngest was 3 at the time or other people. As you can tell she got it. I don't regret it as we couldn't have gotten a better suited dog for us and our travels. It's funny when we have been in campgrounds for a few days we have run into people who upon seeing our dog have said "Oh this must be Max we've heard so much about him" That's the kind of good impression he makes on people that they tell others about him
