Two are still puppies, so still a bit wild and learning how the world works.

[@commanderrussels2612]

since both their parent breeds are nice dogs, why do you think the combo is so bad? just a bad mix of genes? bad owners?

[@ThePieFairy91]

@@commanderrussels2612 "Nice dogs" can apply to any breed when given specific circumstance, and vice-versa with "bad dogs". It's why bully breeds will make someone cross the road if they see me coming with one. They see "bad dog", because the breed has a reputation. Even though the dog I'm with is a gentle soul who's scared of leaves in the wind or hides with mom under a blanket when it rains. I haven't personally interacted with many golden retrievers so I can't comment on their breed with personal experience. However, during my initial training with fearful dogs, I learned they are highly prone to anxiety and fear based aggression due to the deep bonds they form with their human. As for poodles... I'm sorry to say I've only met one kind poodle during my entire career - but the owner and upbringing plays a large role. A dog as intelligent as a poodle needs a knowledgeable owner with strong boundaries, especially during the first year of life. If you spoil them and let them get away with undesirable behaviors even once, you will have a problem. At the end of the day, this is all just my personal opinion from my personal experiences. Groodles also have positive traits and nobody can resist that silky fur, teddy bear face, or the way they seem to love you on sight (that's the golden in them shining through!) I've also found that Goldendoodles are significantly higher energy than the two parent breeds. They just never stop going, and going, and going... Then when you think they're finally napping...you can see their tail is still wagging and they're just giving YOU a break. Oh god this got so long, I'm sorry!

[@okaydanni]

​@commanderrussels2612 I think a mix of bad genes, bad owners, and the explosion in popularity leading to unethical breeding practices is what creates a trifecta of "obnoxious dog". I don't hate doodles themselves as I place more responsibility on the owner/breeder.

The guy who originally started the Goldendoodle trend regrets it, says a lot I think.

mixed breed are almost never recognized as a legitimate breed, mainly because they come questionable genetic background, and they are a mutt at best, additionally they have behavioral issue, and genetic issues that would crop up with the breed. i know she keeps "promoting breeds like shiloh and king sheperds those are mutts, because they are bred with large breed dogs which have health issues

[@stephgreen3070]

We have a rescue doodle and she is just a lovely girl as long as I get her out every day for a two mile walk or run. If I’m sick or something and can’t walk her enough, she’s a naughty girl! She is smart and full of energy so that walk is not only a way to burn off her extra energy but also enrichment as she snoofles along and smells all the smells. (In our case, though, we went from a Border Collie to a doodle, so our doodle actually seems pretty chill comparatively!)

[@deliciastephens7644]

I don't know I think my Bernedoodle is a wonderful dog.....but I did read up on them before I got her. Mine is a F1bb which means she is 87.5% poodle and 12.5% Bernese Mountain Dog. That means she is high energy all the time. You just have to exercise them or you get a naughty dog. Mine is pretty chill for that % of poodle but I give her a run for her money until she is panting so hard. If you want a lazy couch potato then these dogs are not for you.

It seems like yesterday that I was dealing with dogs just like Moose. My throat was sore from saying NO so many times. And yet some people still think that groomers are over-paid for what they do. Great patience and control Vanessa.

[@nanny8675309]

That is because for KZbinrs like this justify charging high amounts but not every groomer is like Vanessa or even half as good as Vanessa and I do not think it should cost $100 to give a full groom to a 30 pound dog especially when I know firsthand that they are well behaved. I get some owners misinform or flat out lie. So, maybe you should start out with saying I will agree to do a nail trim just to get to know temperament and have a range for behavior because I know my dogs will always fall in the lower end. I also don’t like that it’s very difficult to find groomers that will not crate docs because I’m willing to pay extra for that and I’m willing to sit out in the parking lot in my car in order for my dogs to not be crated or have three separate grooming appointments to accommodate that. My dogs do not love to be groomed or bathed but they never fight it, at most will pull their power away for the nail trimming or just not move easily as needed for bathing or trimming. This is why people think groomers are exorbitant.

[@chocolatecream5593]

⁠@@nanny8675309I think it works like this, not everybody is getting daily grooms, some people get their dog professionally groomed once every couple months. Groomers need to get by too.

[@mobstercrow7515]

@@nanny8675309 Dogs should be trained to love the crate, it is a safe space for them and they will have to be in a crate some time in their life. If they go to the vet, they will most likely be in a crate. If they go on long car rides, they should be in crates to protect them from accidents. If they are at the groomers, they will be in a crate. The sooner you start training your dog to love the crate, the better! I don't understand why people hate crates so much. You don't have to use them forever. When your dog goes to the vet for an emergency, not only will they be sick and hurt, but they will be stressed from the crate if they are not used to it, and they can hurt themselves more. All of my dogs are used to crates, I always leave the door open so they can go inside and nap whenever they want. My mini aussie loves bringing his kong to the kennel, he thinks he is hiding. My ridgeback mix loves napping in his crate, he's very lazy. Sometimes even the cats go inside of the crate! It's basically a bedroom for your dog, or cats if they like going in there. I crate trained my dog when she was about 8 years old, after a few weeks she LOVED it! I put an orthopedic bed inside of it and a few lick mats with peanut butter on them, she would nap in them and lick the mats all day long. She loved burrowing under the blankets too. When she wasn't sleeping next to me on the couch or in bed, she would be in her crate laying belly up, snoring, with drool coming out of her mouth.

I was bitten in the face when I was two years old. The bite was fairly bad. I took two rows of stitches under my left eye. Ten and four stitches respectively. I also needed three stitches in my mouth. My mom took amazing care of my wounds so my scars, while still clearly visible to this day, are smooth and soft and no one has ever asked me about them. I can remember that the dog was a female, she was older, she was big (I couldn’t see over her back when I was standing next to her), she was grey and she did not have a short coat. I also remember hearing someone saying, “Watch her around the dog. She doesn’t like kids,” at the same time I could see her teeth coming towards my face. She bit me more than once, I think it’s why I needed so many stitches in three different places. I remember the first bite, but not the subsequent ones. I’ve gone five decades with no fear of dogs, even mouthy ones. I have zero fear of big dogs, aggressive dogs, or being face to face with them. I’ve watched countless dogs being groomed by Danielle and never flinched even once. But there was something about Moose’s teeth that gave me intensely vivid flash backs to that moment I was bitten and completely took me out of reality. 😳 So weird.

It is obvious that you have a deep intuitive understanding of dogs (and cats) which is so beautiful to witness. I love your narration - the tone is intelligent and interesting.

not seing the dog eyes is stressing me

[@Yesica1993]

Right? Imagine how they must feel, not being able to see well. I don't know why people allow their dogs to get to that point.

[@ronallen6578]

Yea, mine is getting groomed tomorrow. It's a fine line around the eyes and face to still look good.

[@kirbfruit]

It gets like that every 2 weeks in my experience​@@Yesica1993

[@marietighe6328]

I know it really bothers me. What good owner would want that for their dog? More worried about aesthetics than letting the dog see.

[@bessieknox]

Well now we know why Fernando couldn't leave the kitchen scissors alone before the dog got to the groomers!...🤣🤣🤣

[@alaskanaussiefurguson]

Love your philosophy on training! That balance of love and discipline is so important, but takes good discernment to navigate. If you have only one without the other, it's a recipe for disaster... either a spoiled or distrusting dog. But used together, our dogs can reach their potential to become wonderfully behaved and good natured companions who love and respect us more deeply!😊🐾 Your wisdom on this balance is what makes you such an incredible groomer!

[@1972LittleC]

The guy who "invented" labradoodles, Wally Conron, said it's his "life's regret". Because for every good one you'll get a bunch of bad ones who have the worst trades of both, and that the back yard breeders make it even worse. The idea was to make a guide dog who is hypoallergenic, because the one who asked for it needed one while her husband was highly allergic.

[@jonok42]

Bad breeders have contributed to a whole lot of problems in all sorts of breeds, so this is just a good example of why breeding a new breed of dog needs to be done with a lot of thought and some controls put into place. Goldendoodles were created for the same basic issue. If go to a good breeder, and do your homework. You get an excellent dog. What would be good is if AKC would recognize the breeds, and their purpose, so they can be registered. It may help some. Although I'm not a fan of just breed anything to a Poodle and call them hypoallergenic and nonshedding when they are not, and most of the mixes are horrible!

He should have trademarked it to prevent others from breeding designer dogs.

[@asc3998]

I rescued a cocker mix many years ago before I really knew what to watch for. He was super smart & very loving other than when we told him no. He started growling at us. I told the kids not to correct him & called some trainers to get help. It escalated really badly after that & we ended up having to have him euthanized. It broke my heart, but I had to keep my kids safe. When I took him in, without even being told why, the vet immediately told us it was not our fault, that it was aggressive dominance due to backyard breeding. He said that there were no reputable breeders in the area & he had been seeing it with others. I so hoped he could give us another option. 😢

Vanessa, after having watched (literally) countless numbers of your videos, & with lots of favorites, I think young, "Master Moosie" is at the top of my fave list..I cracked up at his "mophead" look, with the "bright shiny teeth," & at the end, I just wanted to hug & love on him! 🙃 Such a gorgeous boy...I sure hope his Mom recovers quickly & will be feeling better real soon!!!

Hoping his person gets all better soon. He looks marvelous! 👍👍

[@samanthaabreu782]

To be honest, every doodle for me looks like poodles, they never look like their second breed, in the end I see no point in mixing everything with poodles because they look exactly the same with different colors.

[@softsounds8453]

They were originally made to be service dogs but now folks breed them for color by the looks of it. There's no point in it.

[@defenestrated23]

I've seen the full gamut, from "I can't believe it's not a standard" to "vaguely curly lab". Usually the color is the giveaway, but I've seen all-black "golden"doodles. But yeah folks should just get a poodle. There is more variability in personality between individuals of the same breed, than between poodles and most crossbreeds.

[@nicolechen9316]

This. I never quite figured out why ppl just wouldn’t get a poodle. They have been companion dogs for centuries. Are they too “basic” now?

[@fluffysheap]

The idea is to improve the health and get some of the personality of the other breed.

[@debbieschultz9768]

I love when the red horns pop on the screen! This is a big help to the owner since she has to have surgery. I’m sure you are blessing to the owner. Great job , Vanessa ❤

I am an aussiedoodle breeder. We begin full grooming them WEEKLY as soon as they can regulate their temperatures. That is ONE MONTH OF AGE. The breeder and owner should be ashamed. Don’t blame the dog.

And breeders should be ashamed for creating more dogs and cats when so many get euthanized because they’re not adopted ❤. Our shelters are overrun. Breeding is unethical.

Gosh this was exactly how my poodle mix used to act when I groomed her. Teeth out constantly.

[@ericfaulk2204]

I've never understood why people like poodles and poodle mixes so much. They too often seem ill-tempered and sometime downright aggressive.

[@ferretyluv]

I thought you were exaggerating about the crazy doodle stereotype until an acquaintance got one. He’s an absolute menace. All the doodles at the dog park are crazy. Theyre not hypoallergenic. They do shed. They’re also causing the extinction of so many dog breeds. There’s no benefit. Screw doodles.

[@tjeanvlogs9894]

My service dog is half poodle quarter golden and quarter lab. Took him to the groomers a few times and they traumatized him. Now i do it at home and it takes me half a day but it works. Breaks are important with dogs this smart, so is the really good treats. My pup (almost 11) hates getting his ears cleaned the most but loves long walks at the lake with my housemate. Last night he was offered a walk, but had to get his ears cleaned first. Havent been able to do his ears this fast or this well in a decade. To trim him i pull out his new bone for the week. He knows he wont get it until its all done. Because of my disability i cannot do the whole thing in one sitting so it body one week, two paws and nail , finally the head. Sometimes he goes a week without his bone and looks like he went 3 rounds with a weed wacker and lost but it all get done in the end.

[@Senyin]

My husband worked for several vets. Labradoodles & Goldendoodles were usually very aggressive dogs. They have the independence & smarts of the Poodle, with the strength of a Golden/Lab. They have none of the kindness or loyalty. It was very rare to see a well-behaved Goldendoodle, and even the well behaved ones knew when they could misbehave. No one at the vets would recommend a Labradoodle or Goldendoodle to anyone. They are not beginner dogs.
