How old is our oldest doodle?

[Sue, Murphy and Bella ()*o*()]

I know this has been asked before, but can we do an update on how old everyone's doodles are? Does anyone know how old they get to be and what the most common health issues are with their aging?

[Camilla and Darwin]

Darwin will be turning 3 in May.

Sophie is 8 1/2 months old. She is a wonderful puppy :)

Hartley is a large standard (75lb) F1 LD, no health problems apart from a shoulder injury last summer from playing too much fetch!! Chase is a medium (50lb) multi-gen LD (his Dad was an Australian LD), he is highly strung, gets itchy in the spring and recently lost quite a bit of hair - no cause has been diagnosed yet.

Oops, I'm an idiot, totally forgot to include their ages!! Hartley is 5 and Chase is 4.

Josie is 10 months old, so far very healthy

Yarra (lavender/latte) is going on 7 and Yindi (iced caramel) is 3 1/2. We've enjoyed perfect health and I love them to pieces.

7, that's awesome. And no health issues. That's what I am hoping to hear a lot more of. Older, healthy doodles!

[Lonnie & Libby Lu]

These two are adorable!   Love the bunny ears:)

[Nicky, Riley & Boris]

I'm always thrilled here to say happy birthday to an elder Doodle, my nephew Doodle in Vancouver BC is eight years old. Riley will be 2 years old a couple of weeks and Boris is 7 months old. Both are healthy (kenenhora)

Mine are all THREE years old.I have seen some really old Poodles and some really old Goldens.I think the Poodles have more health concerns. So far mine are all healthy.I have to keep rocks and socks out of Shea's mouth,but thats it...

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Both Poodles and Goldens have lots and lots of health concerns, and Goldens are the number one breed affected by cancer. More than 60% of all Golden Retrievers will get some form of cancer. Currently, the Morris Animal Foundation has a 10 year study, the largest dog study ever conducted, to research cancer in Golden Retrievers.
