What Type of Doodle(s) do you have? What are their names? Tell us about your doodle(s) or any other pets you have!
I have a 6 year old Mini English Goldendoodle named Daphne. Born 3/6/12. I also have Her mother, 9 year old Lucy, born 3/1/09. New addition is Pippa. She was born June 27, 2014
Where did you get your doodle(s)?
Breeder, Rehome
Why did you choose a doodle rather than another breed or mix?
I chose a goldendoodle because my previous dogs have always been poodles until we got a Golden Retriever 13 years ago. She was the best dog I ever had! We recently lost her to bone cancer. I feel like a Goldendoodle is the perfect dog because you get all the sweetness of the Golden and none of the shedding.
What are Your Favorite Things to Do With Your Doodles?
Going to the Dog Park! And we are still working on training.
Does your doodle(s) shed?
Nope!
Who grooms your doodle(s)?
Petco groomer
Relationship Status:

Would you be willing to Dog Sit on occasion for other DoodleKisses members? (You are NOT committing to anything by saying yes - you are just saying you might be willing to do this if you were acquainted with the other member and the circumstances were right.)
You had such a reputable breeder! I also know that you specifically chose Pippa and her open-faced look. You knew what you wanted and your breeder was wonderful to help you find that. I'd take Hank (the one that looks exactly like my first Springer, Lily), if I had had that option - shedding or not. I feel badly for those people who have been tricked by a disreputable breeder about the dog's adult look and also charged the same price as if it was going to look like a teddy bear. So many don't get loved like they should because the owners are so disappointed (makes me angry). When Skip and I see flat-coated doodles in shelters we refer them to other rescues == can't really do much more because our 'clientele' wants those teddy bears or they'd be looking at lab or golden rescues. We can't get the right people to see them.
Pippa has the most gorgeous look with all those feathers. People rarely ask about Ned or even Charlie when we are out but they always ask about Clancy— the one with the least pedigree! :-)
Thanks for your comment. Yes, Lola is a really beautiful dog. Her coloring is copper and she really has so many different colors that you can really see when the sun comes out. She barely shed until she was about a year, and then she really started. Thankfully, she doesn't shed all over the house, but she is like a dry Christmas tree when you touch her, it just all falls off all over.
Her personality is really coming through also, she is the most affectionate dog I have ever seen. So much so, that she still pees on anyone who touches her outside of the family!
