Origin

The Petite Goldendoodle is a designer dog that likely dates back to the early 2000s. The interbreeding is arranged as such that the breed has a cute small height. This is achieved by downsizing an adult female Golden Retriever breed by crossing the breed with Cocker Spaniel.

This results in the offspring possessing an appealing small height. This breed further is bred with Miniature Poodles. And the offspring thus born is a Toy Goldendoodle. Thus, this resultant new breed is a ¼ Goldendoodle, a ¼ Cocker Spaniel, and a ½ Poodle.
