Are they Goldendoodles? And they don't shed right?
Today was one of those errand days that I could take the doodles with me. I love having them keep me company on my trips around town and now that Bella doesn't get car sick as often it's really a pleasure for us all.
So we started out at the dog park for some energy release and we met two people there, ( quiet and hot day at the park) who both came up to me at different times to ask ..."are they Goldendoodles and they don't shed do they?" All in one breathe! So my pet answer is "yes and they do shed some." Then they go on to ask about their personalities and ofcourse most everyone has only heard good things about that, so that much is true.
So next we have to go do some consignment shop shopping because we have an awesome one here in town and I need some big rugs, but hate to buy new, with my little chewer around, never know....
So we are getting out of the car, they wait as I open the back hatch, I clip them and a lady comes up to us and asks....".Are they Goldendoodles? How cute, they don't shed do they?". Again, pet answer, "yes, and they do shed some."
So we go in the store and two more people stop them to ask Are they Goldendoodles? But this time another person comes up and says "they don't shed either". WTD? So insert pet answer..." Yes, blah, blah, blah. This goes on though out the store and they were on their best behavior, thank goodness as we had to navigate the china isles to get to the rugs.
Ok, so now I'm starting to wonder if they really don't shed ....or did I get a defective set of doodles that shed some? Are all these people right and my guys shouldn't be shedding? I guess they didn't get the memo.
On to Ace Hardware, as I am STILL painting this house as we aren't done remodeling...but that's another story.
And would you believe, 3 more people ask the same questions!!!! Was there just a national news update on non-shedding doodles that I missed? Is EVERYONE that misinformed about our doods? Where is everyone hearing that they don't shed at all? I can see why people are so upset with their grooming maintenance if all they think of is how wonderful a non- shedding long haired dog would be.
All in all it was a good day Audi hope I helped educate at least 8 people that it's a 50/50 crap shoot when it comes to shedding doodles.

Interesting that they don't ask, it is just such a common belief here.
