    Wally Conran, the man often credited with "inventing" the Labradoodle, has gone on record saying that he completely regrets introducing the mixed breed to the public. He had a client who wanted to get a seeing eye dog, but she was allergic to most dogs and was interested in finding out if they could breed a dog that didn't trigger her allergies. He bred a poodle with a Labrador kind of as a Hail Mary. They sent fur/dander samples of the puppies to her for allergy testing, and SOME of the littermates were deemed hypoallergic. One of those puppies was then trained to become her service dog. Conran initially wanted to get the Labradoodle officially recognized as a breed so that, with the proper testing and healthy breeding practices, more people with allergies (or that live with people with allergies) could have access to service dogs. He did not anticipate how far the narrative would spin out of control. What started as an earnest attempt to help people with disabilities snowballed into irresponsible breeders Frankensteining dog breeds together with no regard for anyone's health, people's or dogs'.

      My family bred Border Collies for years. There was always at least a two year waiting list because we refused to breed indiscriminately. We didn't breed our bitch unless we found a stud who would enhance our line (it usually worked out that she was bred twice, starting at two years old and ending at six). We bred for both temperament -- a well-rounded Border Collie should be able to relax and be a pet after the work day is done, and good structure. This was before they ever became popular in the general population.

      I appreciate this too. You get bashed by anyone these days just because you want a PURE BREED dog. I’ve never bred nor will I, however it is very important to me to have the most healthy dog I can locate with proof of bloodlines of health records. People are way too fast to judge others without having any knowledge to back up their claims. I truly feel bad for GREAT breeders that stay TRUE to the breed. After several years of both of my 15 & 17 year old Dachshunds passing, I decided I wanted to get another ❤. I searched breeders near by & could not find one that doesn’t breed the “Piebalds” dachshund. I do not want a piebald bc I have done my research & they carry recessive genes that lead to many health complications, such as blindness, deafness & the list goes on. So I still do not have a dachshund 😢 as I cannot afford the actual price across states & then to have it shipped. It’s extremely sad what has been allowed to happen to our dog breeds. This will destroy many breeds for generations to come.

      I get confused and might tell her the wrong thing. Poodles like to think and assess a situation. So they are perfect for this. She keeps me from going the wrong way, walking into things, walking across a road when it isn’t safe. bringing me to a place to sit down before I realize that anything was wrong. Many times I will tell her to do something and she doesn’t do it. Sometimes it wasn’t safe, sometimes it was the wrong direction, many many times I forgot something like my phone, jacket, purse etc. I need a dog that thinks and has an opinion.
      Poodles are big enough to do guide work and have the right temperament, the most incredible part is that they can be trained for any other type of service dog work as well. So people like me with multiple disabilities don’t have to have more than one service dog to cover all of the tasks I need them to do. Plus not shedding their fur everywhere is lovely 🎉

      Yep, for every puppy mill out there there’s the breeders who wants nothing more than the best for their granpupies. My family said goodbye to our beloved golden around five years ago. About a year later we began looking into getting a new dog, and I personally was strongly against getting another golden retriever because I feared like it would be like we were trying to replace our dog. That was until I met Weasley. We went to a suburban home to meet one of the best breeders I’ve ever seen. We got to meet the parents and puppies not once but twice before we took our big marshmallow home. They even had a rescue golden doodle. And the parents were absolutely gorgeous in only the way a well groomed and healthy active dog can be. They were English creams so they were a gorgeous Snow White with one litter of nine puppies all with different color coordinated colors. Both the parents and the puppies were clearly beloved family pets and certainly not money makers, though the puppies were pure bred so they cost an arm and a leg, but oh my gosh Weasley was worth every cent.

      If people cared about getting a purebred dog they'd have done enough research to go to reputable breeder that doesn't let you put their dogs in shelters, you have to return them to the breeder if u can't take of the dog anymore. People that get these dogs don't care about health or temperament, they just want looks and that's why they end up at backyard breeders. But if they just want looks, or they want to brag about getting a "purebred" for cheap, they should start at the shelter. Shelter dogs are cheap (usually, some are getting more expensive) and usually mixed anyway, so it's better than shelling out money for a dog that's gonna cost you loads in vet bills later down the line

    A couple years ago we got in contact with a German Shepherd “breeder” because we loved our first GSD so much, but when we went to go look at the pups, we drove into an Amish looking place, and inside was a malnourished mom with tons of puppies. We didn’t know any better, so bought a pup and brought her home. Later that night she was coughing and sneezing up blood, so we rushed her to the 24hr pet clinic. She had severe pneumonia and had to stay for a couple days. Since all the pups were outside like she was, we think the rest most likely died since she was the only one brought home

    I got my white Doberman from a Doberman rescue when she was 8 months old. I had owned Dobermans in the past and knew I could provide her with the care she needed. Suffice to say, it is not easy. I put sunblock on her, limit her time in the sun, have her on a special half raw/half kibble diet, multi vitamins, etc. She also came with crippling anxiety and we have spent a few thousand dollars on professional training. She was worth every penny and worth the daily effort because she's my baby! But when strangers comment on how beautiful she is and how to get one I tell them the expenses and upkeep first before anything else. She's afraid of everything and we modified our lifestyle to better suit hers. (Limit strangers coming over, taking her to crowded places, no unscreened dog sitters, etc.)
    She is a beautiful, healthy, happy "albino" Doberman and we love her to death! But please do your research when getting a pet who requires special lifelong treatment. Don't half ass their care due to ignorance. They may only live during a fraction of your life but you exist in the entirety of theirs

    When I was a kid we had a doodle. We didn't know what we were doing in terms of breeder research so my parents bought him out of a newspaper. The poor pup ended up having to be given to a shelter at 9 months old because he was getting aggressive around me and my toddler brother. The shelter took an x-ray and found that he was born without hip sockets, worst case of hip dysplasia they'd ever seen. He was put down shortly thereafter. He was such a good dog, but unfortunately he was in a lot of pain that we just didn't know about until he grew bigger. I still find myself crying like I did when I realised "put to sleep" was a euphemism 14 years later, he was my first dog and I loved him so much.

They are individuals, and I can guarantee you not all of them are dog friendly, good with kids, low energy, etc like people claim. We have some poodle mixes with temperament issues and who cannot be with other dogs and are therefore singled to have individual play time. Most of them aren’t people aggressive, but they can be neurotic and a handful because mixing two high drive and energy breeds and expecting them to always end up as couch potatoes is such a dangerous mindset.

      I wish that people would stop assuming poodles are "fancy" dogs. You don't have to have a poodle in a show cut if you don't want to. You can let the fur grow longer or keep it all short, and pompoms are optional. My boy has never had pompoms because I don't like them, and they would be a problem when we're out in the snow. When I let him get a bit fluffier in the winter, everyone assumes he's a Goldendoodle because he doesn't have the poodle style shaved face.
      Standard poodles are working dogs and therefore have a lot of energy which isn't perfect for everyone, but they're also very smart, sweet, and easy to train. They're also significantly easier to groom as they have a much more consistent coat than doodles.

    Doodles are the bain of many dog professionals. Including myself, a trainer. 50 to 70% of my clients have been doodles in the last 5 years of business. Of the multi-dozens I've trained I only actually liked the temperament/behavior of two individuals.
    They are crazy upkeep coat wise, crazy smart but rarely 'easy' to train. That is they learn things quickly, but maintaining training is a huge struggle for nearly all my clients as doodles seem to be the worst counter surfers, destructive, and selective hearing dogs of any larger group of dogs I've ever trained. They are super intelligent and extremely reluctant to let go of their own agendas over their owners wishes.
    In my area, greater Seattle Washington, most doodles also come with a healthy dose of anxiety and the fear based behaviors that come with genetic anxiety.
    I'm also including all the groomers, veterinarians, trainers, and dog sitters I know personally in my assessment. I know for a fact my experiences with doodles are excessively common. It's very unfortunate.

      As a pet sitter with Wag, I had worked with a pair of doodles twice last year. In addition, I have also seen doodles that are therapy dogs. I never asked the owners how much work was required to train doodles at the time since the breed was new to me. Now I know what I know about them, I am highly cautious with any doodle I come across.
      I am in the process of researching on what breeds of dogs should I get, and I eliminated doodles from the list. If I wanted to play Russian roulette with genetics, I'd get a mutt at a shelter.

      I actually have a pure bred standard poodle who is 11 yrs old and he's the perfect big boi. We got him from a professional breeder who'd also train the dogs perfectly. We have all his papers and records. He's super sweet and gentle. The only problem with him is a chronic ear infection that he's had for years and we're managing it. The infection itself isnt genetic, its from a bowl of water, we let his hair on his ears get long and he got water in his ears, creating the infection. Long story short: it's okay to have a doodle or poodle, if you know and trust the breeder you get it from. There are some very good breeders, but there are even more bad ones. Be careful who you buy your doodle/poodle from.

      We have a labradoodle. I grew up with dogs but my husband and one of my kids have allergies. We got on a waitlist for a labradoodle before COVID from a lady who was a registered poodle breeder for decades. It took us years to get to the front of the list and we had to wait a couple of more litters because my husband had allergic reactions to all of the first couple of litters.
      He's a year old now and very healthy. Our vet's office loves him and have seen a few other dogs from the same breeder that are healthy with good temperaments. Our first time at the groomer we got a high quote but he cut the price in half after working with him. He said they'd had a lot of problems with labradoodles but he was wonderfully well behaved. When we needed to send him to a kennel overnight at a doggy daycare/resort, they required a couple of meet and greets before they accepted him. I was very nervous because he hadn't spent a lot of time around other dogs, just humans and he didn't go to puppy school (COVID overfilled the classes around here). He was amazing! They had camera's so we could see how he was doing and he so well behaved and they've welcomed back any time.
      We discussed getting a dog for 10 years before we settled on a breeder and got on the waitlist. We needed a big yard first, at least one person home with our dog every day and a dog who didn't trigger allergies. Our breeder went to great pains to make sure that we were good candidates to adopt. He surpassed our expectations and he's a wonderful, smart, laid back dog who fits perfectly into our family.
      I think people are being wayyy too harsh on the mix. That some shitty breeders exist doesn't mean the mix is bad.

    $5000.
    They'd set up a payment plan for this dog through Petco and were paying a couple hundred a month, and would be for several years. For a sick, poorly bred dog that already had parvo and was going to develop who knew what kinds of issues down the line.

      @@maple_the_aussiedoodle3167 ​ you cannot ethically breed a mutt in my own opinion. Sure you can argue that breeding a mix breed for a purpose is potentially ok but doodles don’t fall into this category - too many crappy breeders for that, as stated in this video they will lie and say the dog can do anything. The main point of this being doodles don’t and never will have an official standard. How do you strive to make a healthy breed if each breeder is making something different? It’s all over the place. I’ve seen so many doodles with really bad proportions and I just know they’re going to have health problems as they get older. Never said anything to their owners bc it’s not my place but ironically most of the owners are the first people to call pedigrees unhealthy 😂 (yes a lot of the BYB pedigrees are but that’s what you get if you support bad breeding)
      And agreed I don’t like any BYB but doodles are just money making. Same with bullies. A really good example to look at is the XL Bully here in the UK (which is also considered a designer breed - AKA a money making devise for people who like to profit from dog breeding). The XL Bully has no standard it’s a mix of many bully breeds, the biggest issue with this breed is the breeders are so crappy they give them to just anyone for a status dog. They’ve absolutely blown up here and there is now talk of them being added to the banned dog list and they’ll likely take a lot of breeds with them, as hard as many of us are trying to undo the damage of Breed Specific Legislation bad breeders and irresponsible owners ruin it for everyone, and it will cost a lot of innocent dogs lives. Doodles whilst they aren’t usually the same level as a bully breed they can still be very unpredictable. Speaking to a lot of the dog community most attacks they’ve had on dogs have come from doodles. You can’t predicted a temperament of a dog that doesn’t even have a standard really. You aren’t making a breed your bashing too different breeds with different jobs together.
      Sure some may turn out ok but what happens to the rest? Do we just shove them under the carpet?
      My main final point is mixbreeds aren’t healthier than pedigrees. If you can find me any reputable data that states this then please do.
      My point here is a doodle doesn’t have a standard, how do you say what the best specimen is when there isn’t a standard? How do you then compare that to a pedigree? I can also confidently state in most poorly done test they aren’t testing well bred pedigrees, so the whole breed gets dragged down by crappy breeders who only have eyes for money. I’ve be very interested to see this test done by breed clubs although I’ve no idea how you’ll compare it to such an unpredictable breed. Doodles are just all over the place unfortunately and I just don’t support unethical breeding. Why should the dogs pay the price for our greed?

    Thank you for sharing the post-groom antics. It really gives the client-pup opportunity to shake off the stresses of grooming and allows them to return to the peaceful playtime they all crave!

    The groom complete transformed him. I've never seen such a patient dog with the face groom. But seeing him run through the yard was pure bliss.

    I spoke to a breeder who wanted to find the right dog to match our family, over just saying "whichever one u think is cute" or some thing. Meanwhile someone in my family has a breeder (of large, loud, hard to train working dogs) who literally called her up to see if she wanted to buy more dogs... Be very very very very wary and picky if you decide to go with a breeder, and try to find one who works with / donates to rescues and shelters. If you have to go for breeder over adoption for whatever reason, you should always find a breeder who has a passion for the breed, cares more about health than show-standards, and one that's well reputed, does health testing, and cares about where their puppies end up.

      That’s why I feel in love with the Doberman breeder I plan to get from, they temperament test, and DNA test puppies. Parents have all required health testing and DNA tests on top of that. They also recently increased their health guarantee to 4 years.
      I can’t wait til I can afford a puppy from them.
