Mat Zapper, Puppy/Adult Coat and what to do?

I try to read most of the posts about grooming but still remain a bit confused! There was a thread that went around about posting pics of their groomed doodle to give people more ideas. That would…Continue

Okay, I have REALLY tried to understand the coat type-thing. I am just as lost now as I was when I started! What type of coat does Ridley have? Here are pics... are they helpful? Or do they need…Continue
Bringing in dog #2, does it change dog #1?

We have a 6month old golden doodle. He is EXTREMELY low key and probably the best puppy we could have hoped for, seriously (nothing chewed up, nothing peed on, no barking, etc)!! My mom has a…Continue
Does cutting their hair change their hair (straight/curlier etc)?

I have noticed that when my mom allows her standard poodles hair to grow, it's real shaggy but when she gets it cute it's classic poodle look. We have an F1 goldendoodle that is 16weeks old and we…Continue

Karen & Jackdoodle replied to Km's discussion Trying to decide... which brand and do I do duck? in the group The Food Group"And IMO, you cannot do better than Champion Foods when it comes to dry dog food. If I got a new puppy, I'd start him on Orijen or maybe Acana. "

Km replied to Km's discussion Trying to decide... which brand and do I do duck? in the group The Food Group"Karen, Ridley is on Royal Canin... and from my research this isn't a very good food. I didn't realize this before and feel bad! We just continued him on what the breeder had him on. So, I will not narrow our choices to…"
Star and Goldie replied to Km's discussion Trying to decide... which brand and do I do duck? in the group The Food Group"Karen's advice is spot on. I'd follow her advice and have her help you choose a good food for Ridley.
I am wondering if your groomer is wanting you to go the duck route since they sell it there? Is it a coincidence that they are suggesting…"
Karen & Jackdoodle replied to Km's discussion Trying to decide... which brand and do I do duck? in the group The Food Group"Your groomer is misinformed about the causes of skin issues and hot spots. There is nothing special or beneficial about duck as opposed to any other protein source. IF (and that's a really big "if", because only 10% of all skin issues…"

Trying to decide... which brand and do I do duck?
I am trying to decide what adult food to switch Ridley to. I'd like to do grain free. My groomer told us to go with a duck formula b/c she sees so many doodles with "hot spots" and skin issues. Ridley does not currently have any of these issues. The groomer sells FROMM but only the ones that have grain (duck and sweet potato). What's more important? That I choose a duck formula or a grain free? Our local Petco, which would be easiest/convenient to buy from only carries the I and Love and…See More

Debb, Lucy & Oscar replied to Km's discussion Ridley's first grooming in the group Doodle Grooming"Ridley was awfully cute with long hair, and although I do like the look, having them cut short is so much easier to keep up with. I prefer it for my 2. I actually wish my groomer would go shorter on Oscar, but she seems to feel he should be kept…"
Km replied to Km's discussion Ridley's first grooming in the group Doodle Grooming"Thanks for all the input! So, truth be told, it's already grown on me this morning. It's so much easier! Half of my yard didn't come inside with him when he came in this morning! LOL. It was also very…"
Lucy & AnnaBelle's Mom replied to Km's discussion Ridley's first grooming in the group Doodle Grooming"Speaking as someone that got so tired of bad haircuts that I set myself up to groom my own doodles, if I took a matted doodle to a groomer for a shave down and this is what I saw when I picked him/her up, here is what I would do. I would grab…"
Debb, Lucy & Oscar replied to Km's discussion Ridley's first grooming in the group Doodle Grooming"It's really a matter of personal preference, but the only things I'd want to change is the length of the ears (longer) and the length on the legs (about twice as long as the body). Don't worry though, even my groomer gets at least one…"

Ginny Nightingale said… I have sent you a friend request so I can speak with you about breeders more specifically. Also, please do some reading on our site to give you a better idea about doodles--for example, many doodles shed!! There is a lot of misinformation out there about this "breed"--it is a mix, so you never know exactly what you will get! Some doodles are shy and anxious (see the anxiety group!) and some are very rambunctious--so when you go to see pups at a breeder's facility, the most important thing is temperament!! The breeder may also have an idea of coat type but if non-shedding is important to you, you should look for a fairly curly pup--an F1b is a labradoodle crossed back to a poodle and may have a curlier coat for example.If the breeder only has F1s, they are great dogs, but some may have more issues with shedding--
