Rate my puppy! He's a golden doodle. 50% poodle 50% golden retriever 100% KAWAII

Fun fact: Golden Doodle were originally bred as seeing eye dogs for people allergic to hair. The poodles didn't shed, and it got the seeing eye dog ability from the retriever side.

Aww. Too bad he'll be ugly when he grows up. Curly furred dogs look like old people.

This shit is false. The problem with these designer breed mutts is that you have no control over which traits they'll inherit from their parents. NOT ALL GOODEN DOODLES ARE HYPOALLERGENIC!

And a purebred poodle is perfectly capable of being a seeing eye dog, and they're always hypoallergenic. A lot of Americans think poodles are retarded, but they're actually one of the smartest and hardest-working breeds out there. Just get a poodle from a reputable breeder, instead of these overpriced designer mutts.

Crossing poodles with labs and golden retrievers is actually one of the saner things done in the history of dog breeding.

If you don't know, the poodle is actually a retriever iself.

He wasn't overpriced at all. In fact my Beagle was more expensive. Also I know that he may shed a little, but second generation doodles bred with another poodle, doesn't shed.

Also all dogs happen to be mutts, so don't get on your high purebred horse. Mutts also tend to be smarter, and get less health problems.

Only the abomination known as miniature or "toy" poodles are dumb yap-dogs.

Standard poodles (who are only slightly smaller than your average lab) are completely sensible dogs.

lrn2dogs. Corgis are not the most intelligent dogs, not by a long way. An average Border Collie is a genius compared to a Corgi, and mongrels tend to be not only more intelligent by far than purebreds (including Border Collies), they have less neuroses and display less weird behavior.

Tell that to the 50 plus mutts my family rescued. They've all been retarded in some way. My Siberian still is the smartest dog I've ever owned.

I'm tired of stupid or crazy mutts to the point I'm getting purebreds from now on.

Maybe your mutts were retarded because the people that adopted them were retarded. You know, great minds think alike...

Rescued being the operative word. Its to be expected that mistreated and abandoned dogs will be deficient in their social skills.

Bastards like you need to shut your yap if you don't know shit. Don't insult a breed if you don't know it whatsoever.
I don't know about toy poodles, but the Standard Poodle- second smartest dog breed (at least, on the websites I've looked at for the smarts line-up.) Easily trained and loyal, not yappy at all.

And OP, cute puppy~

I have an Irish Setter (close to or same as Red Setters, depending on where your dog originated).

How'd it go crazy?

It was a family pet and a really nice dog, even a bit soppy and timid. One day my cousin and her husband went out, when they came home they could hear the dog going nuts inside. They went in, and the dog attacked them and couldn't be calmed down, they called a vet out, who sedated it and took it away to be checked out. No medical problem was ever found, and the dog continued to be very aggressive to everyone, and would hardly eat. As i recall, they gave it about a month, tried to take the dog home, had other vets check it out, everything they could think of, but the situation never improved, and that was that.

The shelters around my area, including the one I work at, get a lot of Cockapoos and occasionally some Labradoodles. I've never seen a St. Berdoole (pictured) at the shelter, though...they are pretty huge.

Anyway, just because a dog is a shelter dog/mutt/rescue dog doesn't mean it's retarded. Proper socialization and decent breeding is necessary for all dogs, and pure bred breeder dogs are no exception. Many "breeder quality" dogs have health and behavioral issues just like strays and mutts. "Click to Calm" anyone?

Dumb. I hate the rep poodles have. They look great if you don't give them a stupid haircut. And yeah, fuck designer dogs. Stupid shit.

Let's all laugh at the OP for paying hundreds of dollars for a mutt.

Absolutely laughable.

The inspiration for Chewbacca was a dog, but according to the Star Wars website it was an Alaskan malamute. But yeah, poodle-things definitely resemble wookies, IMO.

people who engage in this kind of creative naming of breeds need to be killed. Especially the breeders of the yorkshire terrier/poodle mix known as a yorkiepoo
>> Anonymous
You're a dumbass and here's why, every purebred is the product of mixing breeds. Do you honestly think that there were wild Yorkshire terrier running around.

So basically, killyourself.

i'm guessing the poodle was male and the retriever was the female?

My parents bought a goldendoodle almost two years ago as a compromise between each wanting one of those breeds. (Step dad wanted poodle, mom wanted golden retriever.) He turned out to be a fantastic dog. Very snuggly, lazy/active when you want him to be. One of the easiest dogs to train I've met in my life. Great with kids in general. Then again its his personality, I know they're all not like him, but he brought me from hating them to loving them pretty god damn quick.

As for their fur. For gods sake DO NOT get everything shaved except his tail and face. It's stupid looking. If you find you must shave yours, shave all of him to the same fur length please. And what another anon said earlier is right. Wether or not your puppy will shed is really up to chance. So be prepared to deal with fur if you didn't get lucky.

Op your puppy is very cute. Looks quite a bit different than my Max did as a baby though. Looks more like a labradoodle. (Who ever came up with these names need to be shot.)

That was my theory, but I found out just after we got our dog that he's allergic to dogs/cats. So he wanted a bigger dog, that he wouldn't be sneezing/having issues breathing around constantly.

Purebreds are the INBREEDing of existing dogs.

As you said, there aren't wild yorkies running around. That's becasue breeding under normal circumstances (in the wild) produces a dog that's somewhat similar to a dingo or a coyote. Purebreeds happen when people inbreed their dogs back into the same family line in order to get certain characteristics of that particular line, as opposed to the more typical "wild dog"
