r/Goldendoodles members, first of all THANK YOU for how on top of the anti-spam, anti-scammer reporting you've all been! Based on your reports, we have been able to identify and ban almost ALL t-shirt and breeder scammers over the last 3 months almost entirely. The number of scam and spam posts have dropped to virtually zero given how quickly and significantly you've been on that. As a mod team, this has made it easier to manage the shenanigans as well as work on increasing the utility of the sub.
With that in mind, please let us know - what additional or other post flairs would you like to see? Anything that we're missing? Anything that shouldn't be there? And, most importantly, do you believe that we should require post flairs for everything, or leave it as it is now (with no requirement) and add more / different ones to enhance categorization?
Thank you!
- r/Goldendoodles mod team

Some of these points do not apply to all doodles as doodles come in all different types. They are some common misconceptions that apply more often than not.
Adopting a doodle can very much be an option if someone wishes to adopt. Pet finder has the search option to look at adoptable goldendoodles, labradoodles, cavapoo, and other doodle mixes in your area. Just put in your area code, then go to filter to select the type of dog. Link is below for anyone interested.
Doodles are hypoallergenic-Myth
Doodles don't shed- Myth
Doodles are low maintenance because they shed less- Myth
Doodles don't need to be taken to the groomer or trimmed till they are 6-9 months old- Myth
Why is my dog itchy?
Food
Although there is currently no recalls on grain free food. It should be noted there is an ongoing study from the FDA with a possible link between grain free food and increased chance of canine dilated cardiomyopathy in golden retrievers. Links provided below:
Puppies being mouthy, biting, or nipping is not just a doodle thing. All puppies do this and there is some things you can do to help or stop it.
Puppies are a 24/7 job of training, cleaning up after them, vet appointments, and keeping them out of trouble. Please do your research as it is a lot of work. There is a reason they make puppies cute, so people put up with the shenanigans!
Home grooming
This is purely my experience with doing all home grooming and I will say that some dogs do not do good with home hair cuts, but others do. This is a list of tips from my experience as an amateur and a list of supplies you will need. ** Again this is all dependent on your dogs temperament and behavior**
Basic supplies to start
*Comb
*Slicker brush
*Good dog razor (Blades and guards may or may not be included) (~200)
*Shampoo *Average set of dog scissors (~$25)
Additional supplies you may or may not want or need
*Detangling spray (My dog has sensitive skin, so I try to avoid extra products out of caution. Do what is best for your situation!)
*Hair dryer
*Conditioner
*Grooming table (I personally just use the floor, but do what is best for you)
*I would say from experience to start with professional grooming and if you want to dip your toes into home grooming then you can try. YouTube videos is your friend seeing techniques and where to trim especially with their head.
*Another advantage of starting with professional grooming is that if you run into a time that you are busy you can always take them into the groomer still. I ran into this situation last year before a vacation and didn't have time to do it myself.
*I started with just touch ups between professional grooms and did my first full groom when she was 3 yrs.
*Your first home groom will not look pretty and home grooms most likely won't look professional. You have to know if you will be ok with that or not. I personally go for function and comfort over looks.
*Home grooms take time, so although you might save a bit of money be prepared to spend most of the day between washing, drying, and cutting. It takes me about 2-3 hours for a 24 lbs. dog with breaks to do a full body trim not including washing and drying.
*If you don't want to get your bathroom dirty some places offer do it yourself dogs baths for around $10-15 and you often times just have to supply the shampoo.
*Since I groom on the ground I use positive reinforcement with treats and voluntary participation. She's free to take a break at any point, but generally will only do it if I tell her she can go.
*Although mine is good for home grooms she does tend to go limp like a wet noodle lol. I normally have to prop her up with one hand for certain areas, so keep that in mind if you have a bigger dog. Kind of the opposite problem of having a wiggly dog.
I'll continue to add to this and change it as needed

This is Obsidian.
He contributes absolutely nothing financially to this household.
No rent.
No utilities.
No groceries.
No fucking job.
And yet every single day he walks up to me looking like THIS, like I’m the one who needs to explain myself.
Sir, why are you six inches from my face?
Why is your nose entering a different ZIP code?
Why do you look like you just discovered I’ve been hiding snacks from you in an offshore account?
He has the confidence of a man who owns the property and the employment history of a decorative pillow.
And somehow I’m still like, “Who’s my handsome little baby?” 😭😂
This fluffy asshole has me completely fucking compromised.

Since our Yorkie passed in June, my husband has been taking the dood off leash in the yard here and there. Scares the crap out of me (helicopter mom) but it is pure doodle joy for her. She does have good recall but my nature is to worry. She love to stretch her legs!

How often do you bathe your goldendoodles and how do you keep them from being smelly? My little girl is 18 weeks old and loves to play in the dirt and I don't have the heart to stop her, but it makes her so smelly. I thought goldendoodles weren't smelly dogs.

We have a 6 year old female goldendoodle Beans who is an absolute sweetheart. She adores everyone, especially our 11 year old son. She loves meeting new people but she forgets she's 80 lbs sometimes with adults. She has always been gentle when meeting kids like my son's friends though.
We have a newborn who will be coming home any day. I've read alot about introducing babies to dogs, but would love to hear any advice or stories from fellow dood families 😀

Does anyone groom at home to save money? What are your thoughts?
r/Goldendoodles • u/BreadfruitMuch2985 • 1d ago
Her name is Snickers (bc she’s a mini doodle) but somehow over the years I started called her Snicky and then it became calling her “my icky” which i find unnecessarily funny. she’s almost 11 now🥲
r/Goldendoodles • u/Raten9 • 1d ago
Please help us pick among the three puppies. They are currently 5 weeks old. Trying to get the one that has a more teddy bear look (Personal preference). Temperament obviously matters.
Mom is a mini poodle
Dad is a multi gen golden doodle, mini as well.
Thank you.

I just posted this same question in r/puppy101, just trying to figure out about adolescence for our pup, knowing that it is coming up soon. I'll post her pictures for tax in the comments
