⚠️ Things to Consider

  • Health: Micro Goldendoodles may be more prone to genetic issues due to extreme downsizing.
  • Breeding Ethics: Always research breeders. “Micro” and “teacup” sizes can sometimes come from unethical breeding practices (e.g., excessive inbreeding or underfed runts).
  • Fragility: Micro Goldendoodles are more delicate—better suited to households without small kids.

🏁 Summary

  • Choose a Mini Goldendoodle if you want a playful, versatile family dog that’s still compact.
  • Choose a Micro Goldendoodle if you want a truly tiny companion that fits in small spaces and has a more relaxed demeanor.
