Mini Goldendoodle Realizes He's Free From His Leash And Turns Into A Track Star

Ever felt like a weight was lifted off your shoulders and you could finally run free? Well, that's exactly what this mini goldendoodle named McGregor did when he realized he was no longer leashed while outside playing in the backyard, having a moment of subtle recognition before taking off like a track star in front of his unsuspecting pet parent.

In the video, in which McGregor's human companion captions his every move, the brown, curly-haired pup is seen enthusiastically rolling around in the grass, accidentally unlatching his leash. When he realizes what's happened, he quickly jumps up, looks around, and tries to act casual about the newfound freedom before taking off like a shot from the backyard. As he flies out of the camera's periphery, his pet mom gasps before putting down the phone.

"Oh, he took off," notes one commenter, while another guesses what's on McGregor's mind before the sprint: "Don't be suspicious...don't be suspicious." Among the comments, his owner notes that it took "a good 2 minutes" to get the dog back into the backyard.

What is a mini goldendoodle?

While a mini goldendoodle is not a formally recognized breed in and of itself, it is considered a designer hybrid mixed breed dog, often referred to as "doodle dogs." While a regular goldendoodle is a crossbreed of the golden retriever and the standard poodle, a mini goldendoodle combines the golden retriever with either a miniature poodle or toy poodle and weighs 15 to 35 pounds when full grown, compared to 50+ pounds for the standard breed.

Mini goldendoodles have an adorable look to them, and they usually have a matching personality, offering a friendly temperament that is considered extremely obedient. There is a higher chance that they can experience genetic health issues because of overbreeding due to high demand, so it's important to stick to reputable breeders (and follow these expert tips to help your pup live longer). That said, mini goldendoodles make the perfect pet for many families because of their cute looks, smaller size, and pleasing disposition. Famous mini goldendoodles include gossip blogger Perez Hilton's pup Teddy Hilton and the Instagram-famous Bentley.
