Who has the Oldest Doodle on this site?

[Heidi]

I just saw the most beautiful doodle named Teddy on this site and read that he is 6 years old. Do we have any doodles that are older than that on Doodlekisses?

Is that colorful shirt a vest??? Memories...

ps Way to go Chuckie for still be spucky after all these years.

[Debbie, Brianna and Duncan]

Looks like one very colorful shirt, lol and checkout the green pants...they look like part of my girlscout uniform. Times where tight back then.

[LINDA & TEDDY]

What great pictures and memories! That is were your love affair with sweet, gentle puppies began. Your girls are now living with their own adorable doodles and will surely pass that love on to the next generation. Brianna and Duncan are the lucky ones to live in your home surrounded with kids, joy, energy and lots of cuddles.

Jackdoodle will be 5 the end of this month. He's one of the older doodles here, but I see he is far from the oldest!
I had a schnoodle who was born in 1977, but that was a friend's dog who had puppies with another friend's dog...nobody was really deliberately breeding mixes back then. I'm guessing that was true of most of the "doodles" we hear about from the the 60s, 70s, 80s, etc.

[Debbie, Brianna and Duncan]

You are absolutely right Karen....The puppy my parents got was from puppies in a backyard sale, a litter from a street matting, lol. The mom was a poodle so my parents always called her a cockapoo...but who knows. She was a sweety girl I have to say!

[F, Calla & Luca]

Some of the longer term breeders might have older doodles. You might want to post your question in the puppies for sale group but 17 years sounds like a record.

[Beth & Piper]

Piper just turned 6 in October. She is from our breeder's second doodle litter. I think the first litter should be almost 7 years old now. Piper acts no different now than she did years ago; maybe a tad calmer at times, but still has all her get up and go.

When I first found 'doodles' on dogbreeder, and did research I read they can live up to 19 years????? But we just stumbled upon them only about 3 years ago.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

I think only the very smallest could possibly live to be 19, or even 17. You would be very hard pressed to find any retriever who has ever lived that long. Or Standard poodle, either. The minis and toys do, though.

[Michele Barton]

A neighbor of ours, many years ago, had a golden retriever who was 18. It always gave me hope that my GR would live that long, but alas she only made it to 14. The 18-year-old was, however, the smallest GR I've ever seen, somewhere around 40 pounds.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Yep, the little dogs live longer. 14 years for a normal sized Golden is amazing, though!

And she was a BIG girl - 100 pounds of sweetness!
