- What Type of Doodle(s) do you have? What are their names? Tell us about your doodle(s) or any other pets you have!
- Doug - he's a pound dog - we think he's a Golden Doodle/Wheaten cross. He was listed at the shelter as a Golden Retriever/Standard Poodle but he's not even 60 pounds so I think if that were true, he'd be bigger. Plus, he had such a wiry, blackish coat when he was a puppy and still has some black on his tail and beard now which leads me to wonder if he's a wheaten cross.
- Where did you get your doodle(s)?
- Shelter
- Why did you choose a doodle rather than another breed or mix?
- Fate led me do him. He is the most well behaved dog I've ever owned and helped heal the broken heart of losing my 12 year old greyhound and dealing with a terminally ill father. He was meant to be.
- What are Your Favorite Things to Do With Your Doodles?
- I love doing EVERYTHING with Dougie. Walks, cuddles, car rides, visits with friends. You name it!
- Does your doodle(s) shed?
- Yes!
- Relationship Status:
- Married
- 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.)
- Yes

You closed your discussion before I posted this, but here is some info:
Connie, please join us in The Food Group. There is a ton of information and discussions there about all of these issues: Rx foods, allergies, a list of recommended brands, etc. that is far too extensive to reproduce here in the main forum.
I will tell you that there are very few foods on the market today that contain wheat at all, and none of those on our recommended list. I will also tell you that food allergies in dogs are relatively rare, accounting for only 1%, despite what you see in dog chat forums. Nine to one, your dog's itching is caused by inhaled allergens such as pollen, dust mites, molds, etc. And the brand has nothing to do with it; a dog can't be allergic to a brand of food, it's specific ingredients. The fatty acid ratios also play a role in itching. Shedding is also not caused by allergies or food.

Doug looks so different in these photos. Are you sure it's the same dog? :-)
Hi Connie
We are another doodle family form southern Ontario. Doug looks like a fun dog!! As we all know, you ge tthe dog you need, not necessarily the dog you want. Sounds like Doug was meant ot be part of your life as you go through some difficult times!! My Mila has brought comfort to me and to my mom in last couple of weeks since my dad passed away.
