single people w/o kids rasing a doodle ?

[Tammy and Violet]

I would love to compare and share the good , bad and ugly of what works and does not work with our baby.I could sure use thge support !

[F, Calla & Luca]

There are a lot of groups with all kinds of good advice and you might want to join them. We have the Food Group, Doodle Grooming Group, a Training Group and Puppy Madness for starters.

[Tammy and Violet]

Perhaps I should start a single's group ?

[F, Calla & Luca]

You could but I don't think it would be helpful. The above groups and many other are full of information. I don't think having doodles alone is much more of a challenge than if not single. It may of course involve more juggling schedule wise but we have many people doing this.

[Tammy and Violet]

oh so you must be single then to

[F, Calla & Luca]

Yes, I do have kids but they flew the nest long ago.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

There actually is a singles group but it's not very active.

I'm not single but I don't have kids. I'm glad by the time I do have kids my puppy won't be a puppy anymore. It's nice to have a little help from my boyfriend, but he made it clear before I got her that I am responsible for all of the dirty work because I was the one who really wanted a dog. I don't think it would be much harder to have a dog by myself. It is nice to have an extra set of eyes because she needs constant watching, but it would still be doable. 

[Tammy and Violet]

wow ..you all must have really good puppies...mine has been a handful ...

sorry for all my misspelled word.. my computer keeps locking up

[Breanna]

She's actually incredible for a puppy. I've only had her for 8 days and I think she's starting to get comfortable. She does bark/whine sometimes, chew/dig the grass and dirt, and she's torn the carpet at the doorway. She's chewed a few other things too, but she does spend a lot of time just laying wherever I am and THAT makes me a happy camper. 

[Tammy and Violet]

funny .. Violet was the laziest of the litter when I went to pick out a puppy .. I thought that would be a good fit .. HA !

[Breanna]

I watched an episode of the Dog Whisperer all about picking and raising a puppy. He said you should pick the one who is laying on the ground calm and careless. In this case, Crush picked me but I think I got lucky.
