My dog sheds a lot, but I don’t have to bathe her much at all.

Doodles are cute though, I’ll admit. Are they smart?

You SHOULD be bathing your dog regardless of shedding. That is gross. We try to bathe every week, brush daily but sometimes we go two weeks but prefer not to. Regardless of the dog we'd bathe frequently as its gross not to.

Mine is cute, smart and demanding.

Depends on the dog breed. Poodles are not the same as working dog breeds. You think dogs raised to herd cattle are bathed in fluffy shampoo baths every week? My dogs coat is gorgeous and that’s partially because we leave the natural oils alone.

Poodles are actually working dogs. They were bred to hunt.

Yes, their nappy hair can stink to high heaven and grooming costs a small fortune. Also they can only book very specific blocks of time at the groomer because they take so long to groom and wash.

My doodle was just groomed yesterday. Two hours from start to finish. It's expensive, but it's a spa day -- shampoo, cut, blowdry, mani/pedi, etc. My girl always prances around afterwards.

Cute but I wouldn’t want that upkeep

+1. Found out when I was a kid that a schnoodle didn't trigger my asthma. I was sold, and I'm a doodle-lover. Rescued two, and purchased the most recent from a very reputable breeder. They do extensive DNA testing on their potential breeding dogs to avoid some of the more common issues with joints and eyes, I think. My girl is 7 and she's the best dog I ever had.

Why? Is it just allergies?

I'm sorry. Truly the worst dogs ever created.

I think pit bulls are the worst breeds out there tbh. I don’t mind doodles

Dogs should be bathed regularly. That's just gross. I don't care what breed. They aren't working, they live in your home.

What sort of dog do you have? I find that short haired dogs get more stinky but long haired dogs don’t. We had a spaniel and other than grooming twice a year, he only needed brushing and the very occasional bath. Leaving the natural oils is healthy.

Why can't you wash and dry your dog yourself? You can get a decent dry hair dryer for cheap on amazon.

This is the poodle half, right?

I have a long hair dog and brushing is all he needs to stay clean.

We stumbled into a bernedoodle 15 years ago (RIP) for $200 on craigslist. At the time, I thought it was just a woopsie. Then I find out several years later that people are getting $2000 for these things.

It really was a great dog, though. And it was hypoallergenic and didn't shed.

I wouldn't give 4 figures for a dog, though, unless its job was saving the life of someone I loved.

People do pay that much because they don't want to support backyard breeders like the one you gave money to.

Are you a designer breeder or something? There is someone who comes on here occasionally and posts all this hocus pocus gobbledy gook about ‘proper’ and ‘ethical’ breeders and justifies why regular families should pay thousands for a family pet. Please

The Bosun betches, you mean?

Every single doodle breeder is, by definition, a backyard breeder. There is no breed standard to advance or protect because "doodle" isn't a breed. These dogs are bred for profit. Period. Some people might have nicer backyards, and might even somewhat care about the genetics they're crossing and the resultant quality in offspring, but every single person breeding doodles is a mutt-making backyard breeder.

Get one, if you want, but get off your high horse about how you paid for an upscale one. There's literally no difference.
