A “purebred dog” is whatever we decide it to be. Generally, when a registry, such as the AKC or FCI recognizes it as a breed, then it is called a purebred dog breed.
But there are very few dog breeds that haven’t been created because of mixing two or more different breeds… Bullmastiff… Doberman… German Shepherd… Chesapeake Bay Retriever… and so on. All are created breeds by mixing two or more other breeds. And many breeds we consider purebred today were recreated, such as the Mastiff after WWI and WWII, which were almost extinct. Same with the Dogue de Bordeaux and the Bouvier.
In the end, get the dog you want and do the background on the breeding (if you can) to determine what traits your dog probably will display.
There is nothing wrong with breeding a Goldendoodle. Just make sure if you do that you find good homes for all the puppies.
