"I will just second Nancy's comment. Dogs do not need baths like humans do. Better than a bath is frequent brushing to pull the oil from their skin done through their coat Once a month shampoo is plenty unless very dirty. Grown dogs…"

Hi all,This is a long one! I would like to test my understanding of coat type genetics, get help predicting how my puppy's coat will turn out, and ask some questions about grooming, so there's…Continue

"I like Mane 'N Tail also, J."
"Yes I imagine it's like human babies, their skin fares best if it's mostly left alone.
We've used Mane 'n Tail conditioner on Riley a couple times and it works well. If it doesn't work out for pup you can…"
"First of all, make sure you are using a shampoo designed for dogs, not humans, and don't get a really' perfumy' one. Secondly don't over bathe her or it will dry out her skin. My doodle that is more poodley, has drier, more…"
Welcome Summer! And dry puppy skin
Summer has now been home for 2 weeks and has grown from 4 lbs 6 oz to over 6 lbs (WOW). For those of you who didn't see my previous posts about my anxiety over her coat, she is an F2 Irish Setter x Standard Poodle and the full sister to a 2 year old male dog I helped raise in DC.She is a constant source of delight, and a very easy puppy so far. She has slept through the…See More

"I believe Summer will 100% have facial furnishings. If that's not what you want, can you pick a different puppy from the litter?"
"Riley gets (understandably) confused for a sheepadoodle all the time. There is a prolific breeder in town that seems to produce most of the black and white doodles around and they are sheepadoodles. She really does look like one except the…"
"Because people are truly uneducated about dog breeds.
You would be surprised how many people think all Poodles are white. People constantly thought JD was a goldendoodle because of his coloring. "
"But people are always surprised that Katie's a goldendoodle. It doesn't make sense to them that there could be black goldendoodles."
"That's because they all look different. What does a labradoodle look like? What does a goldendoodle look like? There's no answer to that. "
"What's funny to me is that I mostly can't tell the difference between a goldendoodle and a labradoodle. Different generations, sure. But Maggie is supposed to be a labradoodle, with lots of poodle in her and I think she looks as much like…"
"What's funny is how different we all are. I prefer mellow, golden retriever personality over joi de vivre--and yet I like doodley labradoodles. Which, because every pup is different, can be found. Why not an Irish Setter?"
"I find that when we get them home it turns out that they were the dog we didn't even know we needed. I bet your girl is just wonderful!"
"Whatever happens, she is adorable and so is Seamus. I have a question that is NOT meant to be negative, derogatory or any bad thing, it's just a question. If you want the Irish Setter look, why wouldn't you get a purebred Irish…"
"Summer does look to have furnishings. People here are usually happy to hear that, lol. She is really very cute. Jasper's breeder is a pro and has been "in Poodles" as we say for a long long time. But, a lot of people groom their…"
