Labradoodle & Goldendoodle Forum
Oh my word, what have I done...
We simply adore our Molly doodle. She's a great dog.
So naturally we brag on her alllllllll of the time and love to show her off to others that aren't familiar with the doodle mixes.
My dad has not had a dog since I was little and living at home...so well over 15-20 years.
My mother had a dog, but dad really had nothing to do with it, it was small and mom was the one that took care of it. It hated dad, so dad didn't play or acknowledge it much.
He said he would get a dog when he retired...and that was that.
He fussed when I got Molly doodle, said I didn't need a dog, couldn't afford a dog...etc.etc. He even told me I couldn't stay at my parents house when we came to visit, if I brought Molly.
The first time he met her, he came to visit me at my house. He liked that Molly didn't shed or act like your typical puppy, she was more calm and laid back.
He finally said "you can bring Molly when you come home for visits, she'll just have to stay in her crate in the garage" (the garage is air conditioned and heated and attached to the house-so no biggy there).
Last weekend we went to spend time with my mom and dad.
DH and dad hung out in the garage, doing "guy stuff", while mom and I shopped.
On the way home Sunday, DH said "you know your dad really likes Molly. She laid on his feet the whole time."
Fast forward to yesterday.
I was on craigslist and ran across and ad for Sheepadoodles (old english sheep dogs/Std. poodles). The lady had bred her AKC OES with her best friends AKC Std. Poodle.
She was orginally going to start breeding the Sheepadoodles, and this was to be her first litter. She had the parents checked by her vet and the puppies came out healthy and gorgeous.
She couldn't find anyone to buy the pups though! So she was pretty much just looking for good homes and a little money to recoop the vet bills. Not many people know what a Sheepadoodle is...some don't even know what a doodle is period-GASP!!! lol.
So...for reason I have no clue of....I contacted her and asked if she had any females.
She did, she had two females left.
I emailed dad....I don't know what I was thinking...this is the same man that claims he won't get a dog until he retires and made a fuss when I got my dog.
Fast forward.....
I now have a Sheepadoodle!!!!!!!!!
My dad ended up falling in love with the pups! He and my mom discussed it for hours, had me take a gazillion pictures of the pups and then when another guy was coming to get a puppy, dad said "get my puppy before he does!"
His only request was that I help crate train and potty train it.
He and mom are coming this weekend to bond with her and name her.
He'll get her for good sometime in August.
Part of me is beyond thrilled!!
Part of me- the part that had to get up with a howling/whineing puppy- wonders WHAT DID I DO!!!!????
Molly doodle was soooooooooo easy compared to this pup!! Molly is now only 6 months old and I am now counting my blessings with what a great dog she is. I think this little rascal is going to make a great dog too...but good grief...how did I already forget how hard puppyhood is!!!!???

Okay!!! I forgot all about the photo I had in my emails, the one the breeder sent me.
So I posted it in my album...I still need to figure out how to post pictures HERE. geesh.
Anyhow, I'm calling her BB...BB is the one on the left in the photos :-)
She looks much bigger than she really is. I'll take more pictures tonight, my favorite part is her little round "bear cub" butt, ha!! oh and her back feet are both white, which is really cute.

Thanks for posting a photo, but it is really hard to tell that that puppy is different from other doodle puppies. About food, I would keep her on the same food she was getting from the breeder at least for a little while. THen you can try half and half with a new food you would like her to be eating. Take it slowly as puppies sometimes have delicate tummies and don't take well to change.
