She's not aggressive in the least but I truely believe she would give her life for me and my family. My yorkie would too the problem is, she couldn't do much damage. But the problem is all the bigger dogs seem to shed and I really don't want a dog who sheds. Well, yesterday at the park I saw this dog and I knew it must've been a cross. We asked the woman and she says it's a goldendoodle. A golden retreiver poodle cross. I think that's going to be my next big dog. It had the poodle hair so no shedding but it was about the size of my collie maybe a little bigger. Does that make me a bad person? It's not any desire to have a designer breed, just the convenience for me and really because of allergies, it's not even purely convenience.....
Anyways, that's my two cents.....  |
If you get one I would say be
MAJOR PREPARED for lots of obedience training. I see at least a dozen every day and maybe one of them once in a blue moon is not a complete lunatic. They need more then your average grooming and cost a fortune to groom, if you dont keep up with grooming your dog is going to have to be shaved every single time, they matt up that quickly. 99 percent of them that I have groomed have been beyond nuts and are very hard to control. Dont get me wrong they are adorable as pups but if not PROPERLY trained they will make your life a living hell. I see so many owners who cannot control their golden doodles and Im going to say more so then anyother breed that I see daily
