Before I had my doodle Magnet spayed, I did quite a bit of research on the laser spaying as opposed to the traditional spay.  From everything I learned, I thought the laser was supposed to be less…Continue

What Type of Doodle(s) do you have? What are their names? Tell us about your doodle(s) or any other pets you have!
I have 2 very spoiled goldendoodles. Magnet was born 08-02-09 who is an F1 standard and she is such a clown. Mags is very playful, loves to make ppl laugh, and does a good job at it. Smudge is the baby of the family, she is an F2 standard who was born 05-31-2010, and is jet black. Smudge is a petite lil pup, but she has a heart of gold. She is a pretty low energy pup, she just wants to cuddle and be loved. I also have Lucy, she is a lab/border collie mix (i think) and she is my rescue from the shelter. Lucy is 9 yrs old, and has been a part of my family since she was 4 months old. She is a great dog, and a wonderful mommy to the doodle babies.
Where did you get your doodle(s)?
Breeder
Why did you choose a doodle rather than another breed or mix?
I had a lab/chow mix named Juggs, who was my baby. When Juggs was about 3 yrs old, I adopted Lucy so Juggs would have someone to play with. Well, as the yrs went on Juggs was slowing down more and more, and I knew she wouldn't be with me forever. Sure enough on 05-17-09 Juggs fell ill with a severe pancreatic attack, and diagnosed with a cancerous abdominal mass at 11 yrs old. The only option that was best for her, was to euthanize. My heart was broken. Over the yrs prior, I had started researching doodles. I loved everything I read about them. I was tired of all shedding, and I'm not real fond of little dogs, I love labs/and goldens, so that is what led me to check out doodles. I knew that when the time came, a doodle would be my next dog. After searching for 5 months after I lost Juggs, I found Magnet. Well, everything I read was right on, doodles ARE like potato chips, you can't have just one. 7 months after Magnet came into my family, here comes Smudge. She wasn't really planned at all, I just happen to see doodles for sale, I got to thinking maybe Magnet would like a puppy to play with, Lucy was 9 and not real playful. So, I called the breeder and that's all she wrote. We are now a 3 dog family :)
What are Your Favorite Things to Do With Your Doodles?
I do quite a bit of camping in the summer months and they love it. They enjoy swimming in the lake and playing with their tennis balls, or just going for a walk.
Does your doodle(s) shed?
A little bit but nothing major
Who grooms your doodle(s)?
I do mostly, sometimes I use mypro groomer Laura

Good Doodles

Posted on February 21, 2012 at 4:30am 5 Comments

So the other day Smudge and I went to my sisters for a play date with her Daisy doodle.  Now my sister usually comes here with Daisy for play dates, but Smudge and I went there instead because she needed help moving some furniture.  So Daisy and Smudge were playing and running and having a blast when I looked over and on the bench by the window was her cat, Sassy just snoozing away.  I said to my sister, "Smudge hasn't seen Sassy there yet, I wonder how she will act…

Are we crazy??

I am really starting to think that there really is such a thing as the "doodle fever".  We laugh and tease about it in my family, and we now proudly have a total of 6 doodles in the family.  I am beginning to wonder, is the fever real??  My first doodle, Magnet, who turned 2 on Aug 2nd, is the culprit who started this whole "fever" thing.  It's all her fault :)  I knew for years that a doodle would be my next dog.  When the time was right, I found her and now…

In that picture, Magnet looks so much like our rescue Clancy.  We think he is a goldendoodle.  He sheds, and is really stocky - only 19" tall but weighs 64 pounds and is not fat. In looking at some of your other pictures, Magnet appears curlier.
