Mini Goldendoodle

Mini Goldendoodles are in the news today, almost exclusively because one is owned by the Uber Celebrityblogger Perez Hilton. To get an idea of what a mini goldendoodle is, look at this video:

As Perez says, not is all it seems here:

The love of our life, our mini Goldendoodle, Teddy, has just been named one of the Most Eligible Pets in America by Animal Fair magazine. Miley Cyrus' dogs, Roadie (a Yorkie) and Loco (a Shih Tzu), topped the list. That shit was rigged!!!

As you'll note from the video, not all mini goldendoodles are in fact that mini. This is because they are a cross breed god and the breeders are never quite sure which size such things will be:

The Miniature Goldendoodle is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Golden Retriever and the Poodle; a Toy, Miniature or a small Standard Poodle.  Some Miniature Goldendoodles are being bred as a first cross between a Golden Retriever and a Miniature Poodle. Some have Toy Goldendoodles. These two smaller sizes of Goldendoodles are achieved sometimes by surgical insemination or artificial insemination, but not all breeders perform this method of breeding. The resulting puppies may or may not be miniature in size. The theory is that they will be somewhere in-between the miniature poodle's size and the Golden Retriever's size. ..... Ask the breeder you contact which method of breeding they used to produce the Mini Goldendoodle. Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50% purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses.

The winners of the competition though were not Perez's mini goldenddodle, rather the two dogs of Miley Cyrus:

Miley Cyrus' pets, Roadie and Loco, have been named top dogs by Animal Fair magazine. Roadie, a Yorkie, and Loco, a Shih Tzu, clawed their way to the top of the magazine's Most Eligible Pets list. Readers' votes were announced Tuesday, and the list appears in the magazine's winter issue, on newsstands now.....Cyrus' pooches triumphed because "they're the only ones who can get tickets to the sold-out Hannah Montana tour," Diamond said.....Also on Animal Fair's list are Jake and Bill, terriers that help actress Glenn Close with her dog-friendly blog, Lively Licks, and Teddy, the mini goldendoodle belonging to celebrity blogger Perez Hilton.
