Our new puppy

[Denise S.]

Hi there - I'm new. We adopted our new puppy, Teddy, from a re-home situation and was told he is a mini-goldendoodle. He is 9.5 weeks old and weighs around 4 lbs. Does he look like a goldendoodle? He has the softest, fluffiest coat! His tail has been docked for some reason.

We have 2 older mixed breed dogs but haven't had a puppy in about 20+ years. We had forgotten how much work puppies are!

Could account for that luscious thick coat!

That it could!  American Eskimo dogs sure are fluffy haha.

What interesting results. The Eskimo Dog keeps showing up. Someone must have a poodle with this in its genes. Teddy is adorable whether you call him a cavapoo or a cockapoo or your own creative poodle mix name.   Another of our members has American Eskimo Dog in her rescue dog, Maggie.

First off, you have a very cute pup.

I was wondering what DNA test you went with? I did the Wisdom Panel 2.0 for my doodle but they could not pinpoint what his mystery 1/8 was. I'm wondering if I submitted his DNA to wherever you submitted they would be able to pinpoint it.

We went with Embark for the DNA test.

I just finished house training a maltipoo puppy. She's got the sweetest personality and looks like many of the toy goldendoodles I've trained. 

Your puppy is adorable!

Very cute! Yes, Teddy does have shaggy hair/fur like some doodles we've seen.
