Which Goldendoodle Looks Most Like a Teddy Bear?
A big part of the Goldendoodle’s charm is its adorable “teddy bear” appearance—fluffy coat, round face, and expressive eyes. However, certain coat types, sizes, and grooming styles can enhance the teddy-bear look more than others.
Coat Type
• Wavy or Curly: A tighter, fluffier coat contributes to a plush, teddy-bear-like appearance. Straight coats may appear more Retriever-like.
• F1b or Higher: With more Poodle genetics, F1b Goldendoodles often have the characteristic fluffy coat.
Facial Features
• Rounded Head and Muzzle: Proper grooming can accentuate a round face shape. Many groomers specialize in a “teddy bear clip.”
• Short Muzzle Hair: Trimming the muzzle shorter, while leaving the fur around the cheeks and eyes slightly longer, can create that button-eyed look.
Size
• Mini Goldendoodles (15–35 pounds) are often considered extra “teddy bear-like” due to their smaller stature and plush coat.
If you want a Goldendoodle that looks like a teddy bear, opt for an F1b (or higher generation) with a wavy/curly coat and consider a professional “teddy bear clip.” Mini Goldendoodles in apricot or cream shades often showcase this beloved look best.
