Jack is almost 7 and has already had to have a full cleaning under general anesthetic. I've never had to brush a dog's teeth before. But Jack has poor genetics and also is not a chewer at all.

Never - the vet says his teeth are fine and the groomer hasn't attempted to "sell" me toothbrushing. I think it depends on what your doodle eats and what he chews on!
I have never brushed Stella's teeth and just the other day noticed tartar on her upper back teeth (at only 14 months old!) She has plenty of stuff to chew on and I feed her kibble, no canned. Guess I'd better get to brushing!
It depends on which week you're talking about : ) Sometimes nightly.....sometimes every other night....and sometime (oh bad Mom) 7-8 days go by with no brushing. I've been very bad this week! Thanks for the reminder!
