(My dog, Minga, was supposedly from the girls female blue am bully, but she later told me they rescued the litter from a bush before their eyes were open🤨
Gotcha. If he is of standard poodle and golden lineage, he is likely from working/hunting dog breeds, so you may need to give him a job, rather than just walkies🙂
I have a dog thats a mutt who is the same way. She was supposed to be lab x American bully, but we think I was lied to. Shes super high energy and I think inbred because she has screws loose. I started drafting with her, and it really helped her work off energy!
At the time there were lots of other doodles in our neighborhood and we thought they had great personalities so we weren't opposed to getting one. I don't blame his breeder, his breeder was a wonderful lady who really did care and wasn't your backyard breeder.
@Sway, his Mom was a therapy dog so I was hoping he would have a similar temperament. He is SUPER smart and I have loved working with him, but he is high energy and jumps on people.
@Hummer In my experience, behavioral issues are common in any type of doodle because theyÂ’re rarely bred for temperament. And, itÂ’s often breeds that arenÂ’t really compatible purpose-wise, giving you dogs that were bred for pets that have working dogs behind them and such.
@Celeste, my dog is two so only 3 more years to go until he calms down? 🥲 He is a doodle and after owning him I'm not sure I can recommend them as a "breed." 😬
