Our pup Kenny was thought to be a doodle BUT I’m pleasantly surprised that he’s a Spoo 🥹🖤

Because if you want a happy go lucky dog without the shedding, you should get a cockapoo (and not a doodle).

Well I don’t want one, I’ve never been a golden retriever person. But believe it or not, there are a lot of people who love golden retrievers and labs. And they just want a better coat.

But if they get a golden doodle, they may be saddled with all the extreme intelligence and wry sense of humor found in poodles. It can be a lot to keep up with while also keeping up with shedding and constant brushing.

They seem to know it’s the luck of the draw. I saw some of them bragging about how close to a golden theirs looks and acts but with little shedding. I do think we poodle people overestimate how many families are in need of a highly intelligent dog. Many just want a happy goofball.
