What Type of Doodle(s) do you have? What are their names? Tell us about your doodle(s) or any other pets you have!: ALD named Riley. My first dog! Love him - he's so sweet and smart.

Why did you choose a doodle rather than another breed or mix?: Was looking for the most hypoallergenic dog I could find & non-shedding is a great bonus.

It is on Saturday, the 27th, and poodle mixes are welcome. You can take a look at the Smilebox on my page to get an idea of what goes on, but there is a parade at The Barnyard in the morning (interesting costumes and hairdos) and then a playday at the beach in the afternoon. I always bring my camera and have my own playday. Hope to see you there.

Harpo actually jumps up onto the grooming table (36" high) and will stand as long as you are working on him. He is definitely a jumper. Groucho (the big tall guy) needs to be lifted. He is not a jumper. The practice is wonderful for both of you. Enjoy!

At 7:34pm on June 21, 2013, Lynda Kamrath said…: I'm glad you are thinking of doing your own grooming. I love his coat. I wanted to cord my ALD but he is a roller. He loves to roll in sand (on the beach, on a trail) and it is very hard to keep him clean. Since he shares our house (and sometimes our bed), he needs to be bathed frequently. We have always groomed him and I like Andis clippers. Mostly we scissors trim him but use the clippers for between his toes, on his belly, and around his face.

This is a great photo of Riley and I hope to get to meet him sometime at a doodle romp. We usually go to the ones in San Mateo, San Jose, and Carmel Beach. If you go to my page and click on my blogs there are some Smileboxes of the romps. I usually make Smileboxes and post them so everyone can see the doodles and people attending the romps.

You definitely picked the "best" Doggie for your first one:) They are so smart, loving, and very devoted to their families! This is the greatest site for information and fun! Check out the groups and discussions too! Have fun and enjoy:)
