So yesterday we are walking in our downtown area and going by some sidewalk cafes. There is a woman eating at one of the restaurants and she has her dog next to her. Turns out the dog is a goldendoodle. So she stops us and asks ,”is that a goldendoodle?” and I said, “yes” She says oh I love his color how unusual and I say well he is part setter he is an Irish Goldendoodle. She looks at me and says very coolly so he isn’t a legal goldendoodle?I didn’t really know what to say, I mean is GD a breed now? Or is it just a type of dog ? I kind of felt weird, for those that may have “mixes” like good ol Snickers what do you tell people? Do you think Snickers is a goldendoodle? Having sort of a crisis of identity for the pup right now!
This post reminds me of the guy I wrote about, about a year ago. A "not so bright" man asked me, " Is that there dog, one of 'em Inbreeds?" UGH! No, I politely said, "He is a Cross-Breed." He still didn't get it. I never forgot him.
Oh no!! Something new to worry about! :) My sweet little Sedona might be illegal! I guess I prefer to say she's "undocumented"! Legal, illegal, undocumented, multigenerational, F1B - whatever! All she cares about is when she's getting her next treat and where her yellow squeaky ball is hiding!!!
Your dog is an absolutly adorable DOODLE!!! Who cares what kind, he looks a lot like one of mine because of the red coat and I think the name is brilliant! My next doodle (and there will be more, these are the best dogs EVER) I will name Snicker because I call mine Guinnessdoodle and Mollydoodle all the time, I would love to be able to call one Snickerdoodle, lol.
OOOhhhhh Irish Goldendoodle?!! With that BEAUTIFUL red hair and Irish heritage he would fit right in with my family!! I have such a soft spot for anything red! Did you ask that wack-a-doodle to define "legal Goldendoodle" LOL Is there a citation for that somewhere? It should be illegal for people to ask such idiotic questions!
