[quote=Anonymous]Doddles are like a box of chocolates, but on average they tend to be on the high energy and intelligence scale for dogs. They can be easily trained and are very quick learners if their owner puts some time into it and identifies what motivates them…cuddles, food, etc. but they need constant companionship, a stimulating environment, lots of exercise and owners who don’t try to force them into stressful situations or think that just because their doddle looks cute that it’s ok to invite random strangers to constantly approach them on the street and pet them or try to get them to be friends with other dogs. The medium and smaller sized ones can be very picky about which dogs they like and can be nice with one dog but totally nasty and aggressive with another. I’ve seen doodles bark and snap at small rambunctious toddlers or go ballistic when anyone other than their tribe or any animal approaches their broad definition of their home territory. They can get bored and destructive if constantly left alone. They require a ridiculous amount of grooming to avoid matting. Like all dogs they have unconditional love for their people but they are not easy and really aren’t the best fit for busy first time dog owners. You often see bad behavior because their owners are giving them the training, attention, and care they need to thrive. The ones that do get that attention are really fun to see.[/quote]
