"Most well behaved doodle??" WTD?

[Allyson, Peri & Taquito]

Peri had her annual exam yesterday afternoon. She has topped out at 24.6 pounds and is in "perfect" health. The vet and techs were completely OBSESSED! They obviously know her, but she hadn't been to our regular vet that sees Taquito as well since last year.

The vet tech started out by saying "she is the most well behaved doodle we have seen", then turned to Peri and said "you have a very good mama who obviously has taught you obedience". In fairness, Peri was being super good. She was just sitting next to me on the floor smiling as they pet her. I still said "well you don't see her at home when she gets a zoomie!".

Next Dr. does the exam. Says she is the most gorgeous dog, perfect health, great bones, great temperament, etc...then asked if my breeder was around and if she was reputable, did health testing,etc...her daughter is looking into goldendoodles.

Anyway, does anyone else ever think "What the Dood?" (WTD) when someone compliments your doodle? I know we all love ours (clearly!), but I am the first to admit Peri is not perfect and I always have more training to do. Even so, the entire event made me burst with pride! These doodles are just awesome :) On the same note, last week I was walking her and received the same remarks from two girls - they live next to a labradoodle that is "out of control". I found out the doodle was only 6 months, so I had to tell them that can be pretty typical and that Peri is over 1 1/2 now (where did time fly??) and I continually train her. I thought this was a fluke that someone thought she was so well behaved. Maybe she is?

Here is a picture of Peri waiting for the doc to come in. I thought this was too cute. She is saying "hey mom, please trim my eyes, I can't see!":

Great job Peri. They are just great. Zack went to the vet last week and when we were ready to leave I told him to wave by then I made him wait for me to go out the door first, She was still laughing when I closed the door.

Peri.... what a good doodle you are. I am happy you don't mind going to the doctor... I hear some dogs (even doodles) get really scared.... I love my doctor - she is super nice. Hope you have a great weekend!

[Tessa, Ellie and Wheezy]

I have two doodles with opposite personalities.....Ellie is 42lbs and wants to jump on everyone's lap and be in their arms....it's so annoying to people I know....but she loves everyone! We have had Wheezy a month now and she is so laid back.....doesn't jump....and gets one the scale at the vets without a struggle. Maybe I spoiled Ellie? LOL

[Allyson, Peri & Taquito]

Thanks for the comments everyone :)

[Anna and Achilles]

That reminded me of when I am talking to a parent about their child in my class and I am telling them how cooperative they are and what good listeners. They always say are you sure you are talking about my child! Good girl Peri!

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Me and my mom are not surprised, either! Lady Peri always makes us doodles proud!
Hey, Peri, I am the best behaved doodle at my vet's office, too! All the vet techs fight over me!
Your friend,
Jackdoodle

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

I'm not one bit surprised...after all this is Lady Peri! You rock, pretty Peri!

[Camilla and Darwin]

I know what you mean! Darwin will behave uncharacteristically well when we are around other people he doesn't know. I've gotten a lot "Oh my gosh, he's so well trained!" or "This is the best behaved dog I've ever met!" They obviously haven't seen him after a bath... yeesh! Talk about zoomies. Ha ha.

Good job Peri, you are a good girl!

[Denise & Hunter!!!]

Oh and our vet has cats that walk around the office so needless to say Hunter on the linolium floor is like a treadmill when she see's one and wants to go after it. The vet does NOT say how good she is! LOL As I am in a full blown sweat trying to control her.

[Denise & Hunter!!!]

YEAH PERI!! Love the picture :-) The groomer told me Hunter was the most well behaved Doodle she had ever seen ~ I had to laugh thinking those other Doodles must have been TERRIBLE!! I can't complain though she is a very good girl, she could have more training but I am happy with what she can do. :-)
