In our opinion, Labradoodles and Goldendoodles share far more similarities than differences. They both share that Retriever-like, family-friendly and easily-trained temperament. They will have similar coats and Poodle ratios. They both will make unforgettable companions. We’ve known quiet demeanored and more-outgoing dogs of both breeds. Really, it’s very hard to differentiate the two. Labradoodle coats can be a little more ‘wiry’, with a thicker hair follicle.
