 11:24:52 Hummer| Oh, that's fun! My dog would probably be scared of the wagon or cart being behind him. XD |
11:23:47 Sway| Drafting is essentially what sled dogs do, but with a tiny cart! Like horses do pulling carts or carriages. Minga loved it, and would get so excited anytime I pulled out her harness. Our little wagon broke sadly, so she has not done it in quite some time. |
11:22:11 Sway| (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🤨 |
11:21:44 Hummer| I guess I'm not sure what "jobs" are available for dogs that are mostly just pets except agility. |
11:21:15 Hummer| What is drafting? I have thought about doing agility with him, but it would be hard because he gets easily scared of new things. |
11:20:22 Sway 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! |
11:20:16 Stitch and goldens are also generally pretty high energy dogs.

11:19:58 Sky/Dandy | I made the dance team for my school! I'm kinda happy but at the same time I'm not sure. Oh well. |
11:19:34 Stitch| Jumping on people is a very common trait in poodles. Something about them just wants to be eye level |
11:18:13 Hummer| *typical backyard breeder. I think it is more of a breed/temperament thing. |
11:17:47 Hummer| 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. |
11:16:22 Hummer| Oh sorry, golden retriever. |
11:16:05 Sway| But what is the other breed? Golden, lab, etc? |
11:15:29 Hummer| Second generation, so 75% poodle. |
11:14:57 Sway| What type of doodle is he? |
11:14:55 Hummer| Honestly, if he would just calm down he would make an excellent therapy dog. |
11:13:52 Hummer| @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. |
11:12:47 Sway @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. |
11:04:42 Hummer| @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." 😬 |
11:04:39 Sky/Dandy Hummer
I'm excited for them! |
