Doodle Secret ingredient!

[Pamela-Pambriella Goldendoodles]

One of the most common comments I hear from people is........my husband just doesn't like the idea of having a poodle! Or, I just don't want curly hair because I don't want it to look like a poodle! But all of us Doodle lovers out there know that the secret ingredient in the Doodle is a Poodle. What I mean is this.....part of the reason doodles are such great family dogs is because of the poodle in them........I offer the following experience.

We were headed out of town for the weekend and in a hurry to get away. Low and behold we got behind a school bus bringing children home from school. Of course it was stop and go, stop and go and we were about to pull our hair out! Then I saw something that made me happy we had gotten behind that bus! I glanced over to the right and saw a beautiful silver Standard Poodle standing at the curb. I first I thought, "Oh no! Someone lost their poodle!" then I saw the bus pull to a stop right in front of her. I watched the poodle stand there, ears perked up, tail up, and watching the door to the bus. The door opened and children piled out. Then she saw them, her kids! Her tail wagged a mile a minuet and she bounced in the air as only a poodle or doodle can do! Then she turned and headed for her house, watching over her shoulder to make sure "her kids" were following her. It brought tears to my eyes and I thought.......if only more people could see this, they would think poodles are awsome! There you have it.......the secret ingredient! Everyone knows that retrievers are great family dogs and I hope that they soon will know that poodles are too! No wonder Doodles are the best dogs in the world!! LOL!!

Thank you for that story. It brought tears to my eyes. I haven't been a crazy nuts dog person all my life. I mean I liked them and I had one but was not crazy nuts. Now that i have my doodles though, I'm crazy nuts. I feel bad for the people that haven't ever had the love of a doodle in their life.

Yes doodles wouldn't be the fun that they are if they didn't have that bit of poodle in them!

I also think your story is so true...I've had poodles a few years back,and they are great dogs.

What a great story! I have always loved dogs ever since I was little and this story reminded me why. As a little girl , I dreamed of having my own dog waiting for me at the top of the street, at the bus stop, wherever, when I got home from school just like your story. It never happened for me when I was little due to my parents reluctance to get a dog but as and adult I am now able to give my kids the joys of pet ownership that i missed out on. Thank you for sharing this story. It brought back the dreams of a little girl:)

I LOVE your story!!! How awesome, brought tears to my eyes. These dogs ARE so special - and yes - it is absolutely true... part of the reason doodles are such great family dogs is because of the poodle in them - no doubt! These 2 breeds together make one of the best friends we could ever have.
