They're intelligent, obedient and extremely loving dogs. Groodles love people and also get along great with other pets, and they tend to be patient and gentle.
They are far too friendly to make good guard dogs or watchdogs and would more likely try to befriend a stranger than warn them off. As highly social dogs, they need to be with their family and wouldn't do well as outside dogs or in homes where they'd be left alone for long periods of time, which could cause them to develop separation anxiety.
