When my friend sent me this link about Perez Hilton's dog, Teddy, I couldn't resist investigating more on this adorable Goldendoodle breed.
Apparently, the Goldendoodle gets its name from its mixed heritage - golden retriever and poodle, duh! Goldendoodles are a hybrid dog, a first generation cross, and as such they exhibit hybrid vigour. This is a phenomenon in animal breeding referring to the fact that the first cross between two unrelated purebred lines is healthier and grows better than either parent line. Goldendoodles were first deliberately bred in North America as a larger version of the popular Cockapoo around the mid 1990s. Their non/light shedding coats and ability to live with families with allergies has made them very popular companions, just like the Cotons.
Teddy is featured in In Touch Weekly with Perez so I hear he's busy signing "pawtographs" these days. In Doggielympics Teddy Hilton certainly takes the Gold vs. Paris' dog :-)
