[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a multigenerational Australian Labradoodle. He has a fleece coat, not wiry and curly like poodles. Fleece coats are easier to maintain. Multigenerational doodles give you more consistency in coat, appearance, and other characteristics than other earlier generations of dogs that are bred. Usually doodle breeders specialize in a specific generation of doodles and that's why many doodle owners's dog does not match the expectations they had. We needed a non-shedding dog because of allergies and asthma. Had we not had these issues, we would have gotten a lab or a golden. Our doodle was easy to train and a good family dog. We got him through Good Day Doodles in North Carolina. I received far more information on my dog's development before he came to us and instructions on what to do when we brought him home than I did my child, plus genetic testing and a copy of his family tree. I also received a call 2 days after he came home to see how we were doing. He is groomed every 2 months. His bath, brush, and blowdry and trim is $75, haircut is $140. He only gets 1-2 haircuts per year. I tip on top of that. He was a pandemic puppy and so we used an online training company, Bella and Baxter, which I highly recommend. Online classes, structured curriculum, blog, live one-on-one and group sessions with a trainer available as well. The head of the company is a former teacher and so I appreciated the checklists, structured curriculum, and support. He is a good boy and I attribute our breeder with helping to put us on a positive path to success. Doodles are designer dogs and are in high demand, so buyer beware, and good luck![/quote] I have a golden doodle, and this was almost exactly my experience. The breeder specialized in a particular generation of dogs. I knew a lot about him before he came to us, including genetic testing and family tree, and we even used Bella and Baxter. He’s been such a great dog. I wish my kids were as well behaved! [/quote]
