breeding programme yes or no

Who takes the Mickey send em round here I no plenty of doodles of all varieties they just fun dogs.

 

Angus looks very serious in that photo. He's lovely.

 

What a handsome dog Angus is , I wouldn't take the mick out of him , or any dog for that matter x

 

My sister has a golden doodle, he is a lovely-natured dog just HUGE, and his coat needs a tremendous amount of maintenance, far more than my two.

 

It seems the golden doodle requires much more grooming than the Labradoodle. Hattie gets groomed once a week, same as Charlie x

 

I think you are right. Bailey has a shaggy overcoat, with a wooly undercoat which quickly turns to dreadlocks if not constantly groomed. Also, he's white and they live on the river so he is always wet and muddy, and he takes ages to dry... I love him, but I wouldn't want to deal with his fur!!

 

With the longer coat of a GR and the curly coat of a Poodle that's the high maintenance coat you will get. When Hattie gets soaked on a rainy walk I towel dry her but she is still drying out hours later. Oh the mud on a white curly dog that's why I chose black! x

 

Here he is with Merlin

 

Bailey looks gorgeous, even upside down xx

 

when people are saying HUGE do you mean like the size of a decent sized golden retriever? starting to worfy im getting a giraffe

 

worry

 

The Goldendoodles and Labradoodles here that are bred with Standard Poodles are large dogs - much taller than a Golden Retriever or Lab. It depends on the poodle - mini goldendoodles are popular here, which are bred with miniature poodles and golden retrievers are they are typically about as tall as a retriever and slightly leaner. I would say in my area, 7/10 dogs are poodle mixes.

Quinn's BFF at the park is a Labradoodle and he is huge - her head is about at his shoulder (She is petite, but not tiny). He is lean and tall (more like a Standard Poodle). His littermate is shorter and heavier, slightly slightly more lab than poodle in comparison.

Not sure this helps! Likely best to ask about previous litters!

 

I know some enormous ones really enormous lovely dogs though. Coat maintainace is too big
a job for me.

 

Standard Poodle crosses are usually a bit bigger than Golden Retrievers and definitely bigger than Labradors. But I wouldn't say they're 'huge'.

Do you know if the poodle involved was a Standard (ie the largest variety) Poodle?

 

He lives next door to my mum and he is a large standard poodle cross gr. He has almost white fur which is straight and long and is taller than a standard poodle and gr. He is also is chunky like a gr. The other really large gr and sp cross is taller than a sp but not chunky. His head is level with his owners shoulder she is small but he leaps around like a crazy sheep. By anyone's estimation they are big dogs and i have seen a few who match them in size.what would you consider huge then?

 

he dad is a standard poodle. lol. im happy eith a big dog but im having a chuckle about a big giant dog lol. i was thinking golden retriever size. ah well lol. lucky i got a big yard

 

Hello brian ✋

 

The ones I know are really nice fun dogs. The always remind me if Muppets I think it's the hair

 

Newfoundland, Pyrenean, Wolfhound, Dane....

The Standard Poodle crosses can be big dogs for sure. Standard Poodles are big dogs. But for my money not in the huge category. It's all relative!

 

I know newfies mastiffs and pyrens which are smaller height wise and some Danes are taller but don't have mass of this particular dog. I see if I can get a photo when I next go up he'll make you laugh
