WHEN A GOLDENDOODLE JUMPING HIGH CAN BE GOOD

How High Can A Goldendoodle Jump? Growing up we had a poodle mix that weighed just twenty-five pounds. While she was small could jump extremely high for her size. She could take about three steps and jump over the kitchen counter without ever touching the counter-top. I'm not joking! That little girl could fly! Goldendoodles can be tremendous athletes and as owners we cannot underestimate their abilities to run, jump and even climb. Once your Goldendoodle learns just how high it can jump it could lead to some potential problems if they learn how to jump a backyard fence and go for a walk in the wide wide world or worse. So, how high can a Goldendoodle jump? In general, a full sized Goldendoodle is capable of jumping 4 to 5 feet in the air. However, many Goldendoodle owners have claimed their dog can jump much higher in the seven-foot range! https://youtu.be/-M4vxRO6F2U The ability for a Goldendoodle to jump high is also a function of genetics, the individual dog, and its size. While not all Goldendoodles are capable of jumping a six-foot fence, some are to jump high enough to get over a fence.
