i know its controversial. i know that it is entirely possible for doodles to be responsibly bred. i just haven't seen any yet.

We can all agree that doodles are often poorly bred because a lot of people are breeding them for profit rather than passion for preserving a breed.

But wow am I tired of seeing the same “hot take but doodles suck and are ugly lol” post over and over. It’s big on Tiktok too and it’s so petty and immature and people act like purebred dogs aren’t a mix of various breeds that was refined into a standard over years of selective breeding. Every “pure bred” dog was a mutt at some point.

People like doodles. Yes it’s trendy, yes doodle people can suck (especially about grooming) and yes they’re probably a poor fit for some people but they’re not going anywhere. They’re great little dogs and they seem to be fitting into families pretty well, regardless.

Considering that the average person with a dog is probably not using that dog for it’s breed’s intended purpose, why can’t we move towards selectively breeding dogs for the purposes of living in homes? Doodles seem to be what that is. The dog that’s social, cuddly, energetic and doesn’t majorly shed (which makes them more appealing as an indoor dog for people who hate fur everywhere)

To clarify, I’m not saying the mass production of doodles via puppy farms and the irresponsible breeding of backyard breeder doodles is okay. But to me I just feel like there’s such an intense hatred of doodles from purebred fanatics that seems so unwarranted.

I used to be a dog groomer so I get that a lot of the doodles are neurotic - and same with the nuts people that demand you brush out their severely matted Cavoodle and lose their shit when you shave the mats off so the poor dog can move properly again!

But damn it’s not as if other breeds aren’t like that at all! I’ve met many poorly bred purebred dogs that had major anxiety issues, genetic disorders ect.

Doodles can be great little dogs. And there’s a standard being developed for the Cobberdog here in Australia which is a doodle mixed with a bunch of other breeds to create a low shed, fleecy fur dog (great for sensory issues), moderate energy, handler focused dog for assistance dog work. There are breeders that are producing really solid dogs with mixes like these.

And to the people that say - “just get a poodle” for assistance or therapy dog work - they are great but they do have high energy needs and that’s hard for bad mental health days or chronic illness flare ups. I love poodles but I have a sighthound because my mental health can’t deal with a high energy needs dog.

Tbh the main issue is the lax regulation around breeding dogs, especially when it comes to puppy farms and backyard breeding, and the lack of standard, health testing ect. Which is not the fault of the dogs that are just. Existing.

As we approach the end of the year it's good to see as many dogs as possible trying to get on top of their training skills - hopefully they'll all be invited to be a part of the upcoming festivities because they are such good boys and girls!

Winton the Bulldog x used his session to learn to stay on his mat, even when the guest arrived (that's me!) and started practicing not barging out the front door. He got to do some socialisation with Zander & Miki, and learned that dragging Mum over to another dog is not ok with her, even if you just want to play.

Max the Lab boy worked on his drop and drop stepaway (stay) under distraction - Zander was a great distraction. Max also has had some sociability issues in the past and did well with greeting Zander nicely and even got some b*m sniffs going.

Duggee the Cobberdog puppy learned mat command for the first time, and did well staying on the mat for short stretches until released. He had a good play with Zander and then learned about not barging into the house until invited. With guests coming soon into the household he'll need to be polite & quiet, and wait to be invited so it's important that his family practice now before things get too hectic.

Henry the Beagle x Poodle & his sister Lola the Groodle had their second session, and they learned to drop and hold a drop stepaway, which neither had learned before, so well done. We also worked on not jumping up on people as well as Henry's incessent barking, which tends to trigger Lola as well. That one will be a work in progress.

Daisy the Cavoodle had her second session too, and learned to drop and hold her drop with Jaffa to show her the ropes. Then she also practiced not barking at every movement out the front window. Finally we added a boundary challenge for her. Daisy's Mum is preparing her for an upcoming house move and she'll need some great manners and imprecable listening skills in her new living space so lots of practice is needed now.

If you're ready to get started training with your pooches, drop me a line sometime soon so we can look to get you started in the New Year!

This is our new puppy’s paws, he is an Australian cobberdog, couldn’t love him more

[fjordfolk]

not ragging on doodles in general because one) they can be anything and two) many of the doodles - sorry, australian cobberdogs smh - in norway are tied to the same puppy mill

but it is impressive how when i talk to or hear about people who've had issues with them its oddly uniform. like overexcitement and weird coat, sure, that's expected. but also resource guarding and possessiveness. around toys and objects in particular. SO much.
