"The puppy food works very well when they are little. We used a combination of the dry food and the freeze dried liver treats which we keep in a little bag. The liver treats can be broken into smaller pieces which is great."

The fur on my 7 month old Goldendoodle's chin is turning rusty red-brown while the rest of her is a light apricot colour. Is this a normal change?Continue

"As mentioned, the bag of food is a good guideline. Like Nancy, my two 60 pounders get 2 cups a day of kibble, but with toppers of real food at most meals. So I don't give the recommended amount as they get extra calories. So don't forget…"
Nancy, Ned, and Clancy replied to Bella's discussion How much should my Doodle be eating?"As Karen said you have to adjust the amount once she is transitioned. It really depends upon how she processes food. For example our 64 pound dog gets two cups of food daily (measured exactly) and our 48 pound dog gets 2 2/3 cups…"
Karen & Jackdoodle replied to Bella's discussion How much should my Doodle be eating?"Every food is different, you have to go by the calories per cup in the particular formula you are using. Start with the feeding guidelines on the bag and adjust up or down accordingly. Without knowing which BB formula you were feeding and which Now…"

I was happy with this cut. We went to 3/4" length. What I like most is that his face still looks cute. Please excuse the doodle art on the sliding glass door. :-)"
"They look so different with their heads, faces and ears shaved. I bet my Murphy would love this and look just as cute and neat as Ruby. I am just too chicken to do it as he hates his face and chin touched let alone shaved."
Scot Kraemer replied to Bella's discussion How short do you keep your Doodle's fur in Summer?"Just make sure when you decide you are very specific. I took Schulz in to get some of his shag off and he came back shaved!!!! He looks cute but not what i was expecting! "
"Very nice for a first attempt. It only gets better with practice, but it looks like you have a great technique already."
Donna & Bayley replied to Bella's discussion How short do you keep your Doodle's fur in Summer?"It was an all day affair. I started with scissors, and realized it was going to take forever, so I got out my brand new electric trimmer with a 1 inch guard. Cutting with the lay of the hair, I was creating a hi lo shag. So back to the scissors to…"
"Donna that is better than I could EVER attempt to do myself with Trix. Way to be brave and do it yourself - he looks great!

Donna & Bayley replied to Bella's discussion How short do you keep your Doodle's fur in Summer?"I just found this thread and since I just gave Bayley my first attempt at a haircut, I thought I'd post our results. It's hard to get Bayley to stand still long enough to snap a photo.

"Thank you. He dries off from the pool so much faster too. Bella is next. It takes hours to do her since she is sooooo thick but I agree it is definitely cooler for them in the summer. 108 degrees right now and Bella is my outdoorsy girl."

Lorraine Bromley said… Hi Caroline, I was hoping Julie has some help finding her fur baby and have been looking around a bit for her and my interest as well. I wondered if you happened to see that there are two complaints about them being a puppymill when you google them. They are identical so obviously posted by the same person. Did you go see them directly? Her daughter has her own breeder too and they do share I think. As it is one of Julie's picks I wondered what you thought or if you have any other doodlelane people that have been there to connect her with. I love your little doodle. Gorgeous!

bmdoodle said… Yes I do remember her! They were all wonderful puppies but a few stood out. The red male was very quiet and just liked to sit and observe. The female you did not pick was the bossy one and loved to dominate everyone. They girl you did pick reminded me so much of Bella both in looks and disposition. Your daughter is going to be so happy and I am glad that I will be able to follow one of my Bella's babies as she grows!!

Hi Caroline,
I cannot believe that you are going to get on of my Bella's puppies! That is so exciting! I had the puppies here for about 3 weeks and they all had the most beautiful dispositions. If they were crying we just picked them up and they immediately stopped and were happy just to be held. No wiggling just content to be in your arms.
I would love to have kept one of her puppies but we have decided to wait until her last litter and keep one then. When I first went to Linda's home to become a guardian mom and pick up Bella I was amazed that she had so many dogs walking around her house all of them calm and living in a pack with no fights or disputes. All of her dogs are calm and very gentle. My Bella has been the best dog every. She is great with kids and is happy to sit with them or chase a ball depending on what they want to do! Many of my friends comment on what a wonderful dog she is and because she was exposed to other dogs as a puppy she gets along with all dogs. When we brought Mia home Bella was pregnant with her first litter and they got along right from the start.
Well that's about it, If you have any other questions let me know.
Please let me know if you chose one of Bella's puppies.
Caroline

Donna K & Quincy said… I don't have any details but I do have the e-mail address if you would like it. I did see a picture of her and she looks a lot like my doodle. I did e-mail them a while back but they had changed their mind and was going to keep her. I had an email from them awhile back wondering if I was still interested. I didn't respond because I'm really not ready for another doodle at the moment and I knew if I started talking with them I would find myself on the road to Corner Brook. I will send you the address in a private message.
