You don't own a goldendoodle; they own you. They demand belly rubs, your undivided attention, will show an intruder where the safe is and give up the combination for a cookie. All you get in is unconditional love and muddy footprints, all over your heart.

Lol, you are absolutely right! Scarlet rules the roost 😆

[@stevejuststuff2779]

I had a doodle for 13 years. The best advice I can give is that you let her stay over at other peoples house and what not. These dogs are loyal to a fault and will fixate on one person ( like you ) if you let her. Maybe have kids or friends walk her and someone besides you or the husband feed her. It will help with the anxiety when she's alone. It's so hard to do because they are so loving. My doodle wouldn't give the wife or kids the respect he gave me because I spoiled him so much with all my attention. Looking back I shouldn't have done that. Great video and she's an absolute doll. God Bless.

[@OzarkMountainGoats]

Thank you and thanks for the great advice! She’s 2+ now and doing better but she still goes bonkers when people come over. We live in the boonies so it’s a definite struggle, lol. She’s been left out alone when we’re gone since shortly after making this video and she’s perfect. Never bothers or destroys anything, etc. so thankfully no separation anxiety anymore. Thank you for watching and commenting 😊

[@FR-tb7xh]

Wonderful advice! Agree completely, and for any breed that tends to attach to one person. I’d also add playdates with other age-and-size-appropriate dogs to the mix.

[@liiiidia]

My young Doberman is just the same way. He is such a lover and loves hugs. Very smart too

Dogs are so awesome!

[@cleophusfowler]

My wife and I have a Goldendoodle that will be 2 in April. She has all of the same traits as yours. Very, very smart and loving. Almost human like as you said. We rescued her from a very abusive household. She wasn't being fed or watered and was living in a garage that was close to 100 degrees. It was one of the saddest things I've ever seen. She's ours now and those days are over for her, thank God. I think she knows we rescued her by the way she acts toward us. Now she only gets the best of the best from us and in return she gives us the best of her best. We love her more than words can describe. Like you, we feed her Purina Pro Plan. She has a sensitive stomach and this seems to agree with her. I hope yours is doing well. They are fantastic dogs!!

[@OzarkMountainGoats]

Wow, your comment made me tear up 😭 I will NEVER understand animal cruelty. I am so thankful that you rescued your sweet girl and are giving her the best life possible ❤️ Scarlet is doing great and we absolutely love and adore her. I cannot imagine our life without her.

[@Solidrock-jq6rp]

Probably the best two breeds to combine as they are very similar in personality & you get a great dog. People should consider when they mix breeds what they are doing. Some can be disastrous & should never be combined as they make dogs with a split personality.

[@OzarkMountainGoats]

Scarlet is definitely a great combination of two outstanding breeds. Thank you for watching and commenting 😊

[@NonameTime]

I notice that most people showing their golden doodles on KZbin have medium and standard-size doodles. I almost got a golden doodle from the pet store today, I was told they were mini golden doodles. One was more poodle and wired I could not calm him and the other was more mellow and I assume more retriever than poodle and shred on my clothes a lot. I did not have the connection to the two like I did when I got my SWD who has been gone for over a year now. I want to find a mini or medium golden doodle that does not weigh more than 30lbs. Hahaha. There was something about the pet shop pups that I just could not commit $5,000 to not knowing if they were true doodles or some other mix.

[@OzarkMountainGoats]

Wow, $5000!! For one dog?! OMG ~ That’s the thing with mixed breeds ~ you never know exactly what you’ll get. It just depends on what physical and behavioral traits they inherit from each parent. I would suggest finding a reputable breeder with the parents on premises. We visited our breeder and saw both parents, how they were housed, etc. and it made me much more comfortable. Plus I had access to lots and lots of pictures through our breeder so I could see the offspring of Scarlet’s parents. Hope this helps and good luck in your search!

[@elliottthompson8757]

@@OzarkMountainGoats Yes $5000. LOL! My SWD Mickey resembled Scarlet even at 12 years old. I live in the Midwest and most breeders are at least 4 or more hours away from my home that is how I ended up in that pet shop. I may be in luck I found one close enough (4hrs) that possibly will let me know if she has a litter this coming week. *fingers crossed.

Always buy from a breeder. Most average about half of what they were selling for. You won't regret it.

[@Mazalinda]

My golden doodle refused to sleep in his cage and poohed in it to stop me putting him in it. While he enjoyed socialisation classes he did not like obedience classes and would pooh in the middle of the room each time so that we would be banished from any more. Oh yes, he’s smart ok! He’s appropriated all the sofas, grumbles incessantly if he’s told off and lies on his back with his legs in the air so I can’t be cross with him. He is, however, afraid of water!

[@OzarkMountainGoats]

Wow sounds like you have your hands full. Maybe that's the difference between a male and female. Our runs to her bed every evening. She knows which chairs she's allowed on and I can't even remember the last time she had an accident in the house. Hope all works out for you and puppy.

[@gravityworks777]

I am about to get a goldendoodle in October. I am so excited!! I have a question. Are Goldendoodles bad to run off or not stay in their yard? My last dog was a Great Pyrenees and they are notoriously stubborn, hard to train dogs. They were bred to work independently as guard dogs for sheep and other herd animals so they made their own decisions. I could not let Osso of her leash outside unless I had a rib bone to call her back! 😂 worked like a charm though! With training can I be comfortable playing in my large front yard with her off leash would you say? Scarlet is a beauty and thanks for the video!!

[@OzarkMountainGoats]

Gravity Works - hi, and thank you for your question. I can understand the problem with your Great Pyrenees. As goat owners we know what fantastic LGD’s they make! As far as our goldendoodle goes, Scarlet does very well in our yard off leash. But I am right there with her and I would never leave her on her own. We have larger predators in this area that I would worry about. I’m sure under the right circumstances and with a lot of training it could be done but it’s not a situation that I personally recommend or want to achieve. Scarlet actually would not want to be away from me and doesn’t let me get out of “her” sight when we’re outside. She stays very close to me and follows me everywhere. It’s great because I don’t have to worry about her wandering off. Thank you for watching and commenting and good luck with your goldendoodle! 😊

[@gravityworks777]

Ozark Mountain Goats , thanks for your quick reply! You know, I had thought the same thing earlier today about them not wanting to be away from their human! That really helps relieve much of that concern. I agree, leaving them alone outside would not be a good idea. I am getting him as an emotional support dog to help with my severe depression and to help deal with being basically homebound from a chronic illness. The isolation is terrible and life has been a struggle of meaninglessness and lack of purpose. I have read really positive things about them as therapy dogs. I am so excited to get him!! Having ME/CFS, my cells do not make and replace the energy I use up, like a healthy person does. So I have limited energy so I am a “spoonie” if you are familiar or know anyone with Lupus, I think they started that theory. I have seen those ball release toys to help play fetch. I was wondering if you could think of any other activities that would help exercise him without me having to run around with him much? I was told they are very chill, relaxed dogs when I began searching for one 6 months ago. Now Inkeep hearing about what high energy dogs they are... 😳 One reason I loved my Great Pyr, Osso, she was a typical floor mat dog and I didn’t have to worry about a ton of exercise or feel guilty for not. My doodle I want to tire him out each day and for him to be appropriately active. My parents can walk him some (I have to live with them) and my mom walks laps around our house and large yard several times each day. So that would help...any other ideas?? Wonder if I could set up some sort of obstacle course in the backyard around the gardens...

[@OzarkMountainGoats]

Gravity Works - I’m so sorry to hear about your health issues but happy to know you’ve got your parents for support. I assume you’re getting a puppy? I’m going to be brutally honest - the first couple of months was very exhausting while we worked on potty training, etc. And she was always wanting to play. Use a house line and take him out very frequently. I think boys are easier to potty train and have stronger bladders. Scarlet is my first doodle and I would say she’s high energy. I take her out to run in the yard at least twice daily. I try to “catch” her as she runs by and we make a game of it. I don’t know how old your mom is but I’m 63 (in October) and it’s fun for me as well. She’s hilarious and I laugh the whole time. Teach the “come” command right away and have your mom always carry treats (I use a little clip on bag) when in the yard so he will stay near and come when called. I’ve read the first year is the hardest. Scarlet is 7 months old now and has settled a lot but still very active and needy. She loves to play tug and I have lots of rope toys and long squeaky pull toys for her to tug on. I often sit in my chair or on the floor and let her pull till she tires, lol! She also loves to fetch a ball. As far as being a cuddle bug - she’s really not. She will stay on my lap or in my chair for maybe 15 minutes but then she wants down. Doodles are hot blooded and prefer a cold surface to lay on. She naps on our cold hard floor and doesn’t sleep on a bed - except when she’s crated at night. She also loves to lay in the shower because it’s a cold surface. So your pup may not be the lap dog you’re wanting. There are doodle groups on fb that I would recommend joining. I hope this helps and best of luck with you furbaby ❣️

In fact I do a snuggle puppy review on one of them. Check out Scarlet‘s playlist for those videos. I don’t use the snuggle puppy every day, but I do use it anytime that she’s crated during the day. At night she doesn’t need it because she’s never had any problem going to sleep at night. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend! 😊 -~ Josie

You have a very cute dog! we have an almost 12 week F1b female. I think she has every trait you mentioned. Your summary is spot-on. The only thing bothers me is she likes to bite (not hard just playfully but destructive for my clothes and sometimes will scratch my skin). She also thinks herself as my other kid so become jealous and aggressive towards my daughter. Any suggestions?

[@OzarkMountainGoats]

Carrie Li - hi and thank you for your comments & questions. Scarlet was quite a biter too. I used a couple of techniques with her. I wanted her to learn what was acceptable and how much pressure to apply when playing with me so when she hurt me I made a high pitched “yipping” noise and she let up or stopped completely. I also substituted a chew toy for my hand or whatever. And she quickly learned the word “no”. I would recommend watching KZbin videos on aggression. There are a lot of great resources out there. Not everyone will agree or teach the exact same thing but it will give you ideas and tips to try with your puppy. By 6 months, Scarlet was beginning to settle down some. She’s almost 1 and a great dog. Good luck and enjoy you fur baby❣️

Any tips on having your dog run outside without her leash? My Goldendoodle pup confuses it for a game of tag and runs away from me instead of towards me. Any suggestion would be great!

[@OzarkMountainGoats]

Hi and thanks for the question. I find that high value treats or a high value toy works best when training. Scarlet will do anything for “puperoni” treats, lol! Maybe use a really long rope or leash so she can run but you still have control and can make her return to you on command. Good luck with your puppy 😊

When did your doodle grow out of the biting thing? Our F1b goldendoodle always explores the world with her mouth, which can be painful if you are on the receiving end. We try to not encourage it, but at 16 weeks, the end doesn't seem to be in sight.

[@OzarkMountainGoats]

Hi and thanks for the question. I totally know what you mean about the puppy biting. I think Scarlet turned the corner at about 5 months. I used the “yelping” technique along with redirecting her attention and/or giving her something else to chew on. I think it worked really well while teaching her how much pressure she could apply. She still loves to “mouth” my hand but doesn’t hurt me and so I let her ~ since it’s a normal thing for a dog to do. Good luck with your goldendoodle ~ they are wonderful dogs❣️

Sarah McKillips - hi and thank you for your question. I started working with Scarlet when I brought her home at 8 weeks old. That being said, I’m sure it’s harder with adult dogs. I would use high value treats - something she really loves - and try to train 2-3 times per day for short periods of time. I use pupperoni and during training is the only time she gets them. Frequency and consistency seems to be key. I’ve watched McCann Dog Training on KZbin and there videos have been very helpful for me.

Olivia :D - hi, and thank you for your question! Scarlet is eight months old and as of yet her coat is still just wavy. She does not have the kinky curly coat like a poodle. I have read different things concerning how old they will be by the time their adult coat comes in. I am on a couple of different goldendoodle Facebook groups and I’ve read where people say that their dog was one year old before they got their adult coat. Other sources say 6 to 8 months. Again, so far I have seen no change in Scarlet‘s coat! Thank goodness, lol! Thanks for your comment and have a great weekend❣️ ~ Josie

I have a question. Do you know if they shed much? Please tell me because my mom is going to buy a dog of my choice as long as it doesnt shed much or not at all. Thank you nice video!

[@OzarkMountainGoats]

Mario - hi, and thank you for your question. Scarlet is an F1b goldendoodle which means she is about 3/4 poodle and 1/4 golden retriever. She does not shed at all. A f1 golden doodle is half poodle and half golden retriever. They have the potential to shed but it’s usually much less than your average dog. Often goldendoodles don’t shed but nothing is 100% certain when dealing with a mixed breed. It just depends on what they inherit from both of their parents. I would do some research and try to make the best choice for you. Also, check out my video on goldendoodle coat types and maybe that will help answer some of your questions. Thanks and have a great day! 😊 Josie

Question.....someone is needed to rehome their 3 year old male golden doddle...do they rehome well? He would have an amazing home with me. I feel bad for him to have to start over with a new family. Will he adjust and be happy or mourn his past family? TIA

[@OzarkMountainGoats]

Serena Jo - hi and thank you for your question. I am on two goldendoodle Facebook sites and rehoming comes up in the topic quite frequently. From what I’ve read, it is usually very successful and the dogs adjust really well. If you can give him a good home I think you should go for it. Good luck with your golden doodle!

[@murielwalker8975]

We are currently boarding a seven month male Golden Doodle. He immediately became part of our family and a friend that hadn’t visited for a long time thought he was ours he was so relaxed and happy.

My wife and I have an F1B Goldendoodle, Finley, who is just the best. He turned one in July and is now just a big, 65lb puppy. What do you feed Scarlet?

[@OzarkMountainGoats]

Awe, that’s awesome ❣️ I started out feeding her pro plan puppy and she ate that for the first year or so. Then she went through several months of being extremely picky and I couldn’t get her to eat anything. Now she gets a combination of kibble, canned dog food and fruit. Plus an egg every day - we have chickens and are overrun with eggs, LOL!

[@lj5190]

@@OzarkMountainGoats Do you just crack a raw egg over her food?

[@OzarkMountainGoats]

@@lj5190 - I’m afraid to say, lol! My husband and I just had a big laugh over how spoiled Scarlet is! Actually she’s not crazy about raw eggs so she gets it over easy, lol. Sometimes with a side of caviar! Seriously - if she would eat it raw, I would serve it raw - along with the shell. 😊

Oh lord, she's just like my labradoodle!! So loving wants to Kiss me all the time. She's excelent at learning! Loves running! She's pulled me down and given me a few bruises. Any tips on training her to roll over? Also I'm very familiar with that pouting lol. I also love that you let her chew on your hands, I do that too. She also looks just like my Gabby

[@OzarkMountainGoats]

Hi, I just saw your comment! It slipped by me somehow 🤷‍♀️ Doodles are definitely sweet and loving. I’ve found that using high value treats work well when training Scarlet. I’ve not taught her to roll over but that’s probably what I would do. Thank you for watching and commenting 😊 ~ Josie

[@iidiltz]

How tall and how heavy do the F1b get?

[@OzarkMountainGoats]

It depends on what size the parents are. There are basically 3 sizes - small, medium & large. Scarlet is a standard doodle but on the smaller size. She weighs about 45-50 lbs.

[@iidiltz]

I have a six year old golden doodle dad was a poodle mom was 50-50 his name is Donald I take him four Miles daily. He runs off leash because we live by a big park loves to chase dear. And critters of any kind so I figure he probably run 6 to 8 miles scaling hills I’m running back-and-forth to me best dog ever however he does not like water although for the first time do you want into the lake after some ducks. But I don’t think He’ll Do that again I thought your video was excellent Patty.

Also i just wanted to ask how did you buy the dog? Like did you drive somewhere or buy it on a website i am a kid i dont know much 😂

[@OzarkMountainGoats]

Mario - yes, I drove about two hours to get her. I googled different golden doodle breeders in my area and then started reading reviews. After choosing my breeder, I contacted them and got on a list for the type of goldendoodle that I wanted. Once she was born I was able to choose my dog. I would suggest looking for breeders in your area to see what’s available. Make sure to check them out and choose wisely. Good luck! 😊

She is so cute! I wish I could give my dog a bath. She has no lab in her.

Paula Miller - thank you, we sure think so! Getting her in the tub for a bath is the easy part. It’s when she gets out that things get a little dicey, LOL! Her human type hair holds a lot of water! I need a big tiled room that she can just go crazy in. 😳😆🤣

Is the separation anxiety unbearable?

Scarlet has gotten much better. She still sticks to me like Velcro but tolerates being apart from me when necessary. 😊

He’s filled with anxiety should I give him cbd

[@OzarkMountainGoats]

H A - awe, I’m sorry to hear that. Some dogs just don’t like car rides. We’ve taken her on very brief trips and rewarded her. Scarlet is much more cuddly when her hair is cut short - otherwise she is just too hot.

[@billkrueger3589]

If your dog is burning your grass? You may need to change it's diet away from dog food that has a lot of red meat in it. Its very acidic to some dogs. Our goldendoodle had that problem of burning the grass too. We changed to a poultry based diet and no more burning.. I had the same problem years ago. I didn't burn the grass but I got gout which is cause by high acidity in the body.. and if your dog has an oder to it, stop feeding it seafood like salmon and such. They may have a reaction to the iodine in fish and seafood. Again we had the same problem with our dog. Your dog will tell you what it needs if you listen..

[@OzarkMountainGoats]

Interesting - thanks for the information and feedback. 😊

[@billkrueger3589]

You probably need to use some garden lime on the area grass that was burned to PH the soil for the grass to grow back.

[@peggynis389]

Agree! After eliminating beef from her diet, her pee no longer turned the grass brown. I also noticed that after identifying other foods she was sensitive too, once eliminated, she no longer would break out with small sores and she seemed calmer.

[@masterpainter9899]

How can you train them so they don't jump on people ? Mine gets really excited and goes wild

[@OzarkMountainGoats]

Master Painter - hi and thank you for your question. Scarlet was really, really bad about jumping on people. I finally got a training collar and watched a lot of KZbin videos on its use. The last thing I want to ever do is hurt Scarlet and I didn’t remove the rubber tips covering the prongs. That way it can’t accidentally shock her. I only use the beep or vibrate. It doesn’t hurt her at all. Just breaks her attention to the behavior she’s doing so I can correct her. It has worked since day one. I highly recommend it. She’s still just as excitable but she no longer jumps on people. I actually speak about it in another video. Hope this helps! ~ Josie

Has anyone else noticed how PC even dogs have got? Today you have all these 'Designer Dogs'. 10 years ago they were called mongrels. But someone got the smart idea of changing the name, and making a fortune. Personally, I still prefer my PURE BREED dog.

[@OzarkMountainGoats]

PURE BREED dogs start somewhere, they just didn't happen one day! And for sure you can spend just as much and more on a pure breeds and the only difference is a piece of paper and a few years of inline breeding. So to each their own. /Jim
