First haircut and reddish skin
My girl got her first cut and I think she looks so silly but I noticed her skin is reddish. She isn’t scratching or anything. Anyone else have this issue with your Goldendoodle?
Excitement Reactivity
My groodle Alfie is 7 months old and I’m struggling HARD with excitement reactivity 😭
He is the sweetest dog ever and not aggressive at all, but the second he sees another dog or person on walks his brain completely leaves his body lol. Jumping, lunging, whining, pulling toward them, completely ignores me.
The frustrating part is he’s good (ish) lol at home. His recall inside is great ,listens instantly, super engaged with me. But outside? It’s like I don’t exist.
If he’s off lead somewhere open he just wants to run to every person/dog and won’t come back until he’s decided he’s done saying hello. Parks are becoming stressful instead of enjoyable.
Has anyone dealt with this around this age? Did your puppy grow out of it or was there specific training that really helped? I feel like I’m failing him a bit and don’t know the best way to handle it without making walks miserable for both of us.
Im a Big Girl Now⭐️‼️
My sweet Jacqui turned 2 🎂on 5/18. Mom forgot to post her Big Day😳
Many thanks for all the well wishes, pleased to report Coopers healing well and won’t require additional surgery

Help! F1 Golden doodle
I am thinking of buying this F1 golden doodle tonight. She is 12 weeks old. To me her coat looks straight or is this normal for a 12 week old f1 golden doodle. When she gets older do you think her curls will get a little more tighter? If anyone has has a f1 that looked like this feel free to upload a pic when they are adult
*edit: for you that think the coat is the deciding factor I assure you it’s not. Simply a question.
Looking for Siblings
Our dearest girl Scarlett crossed over the rainbow bridge yesterday. She was (18), and the most amazing gift to our family. She came from Country Mini Doodles in Indiana (2008). We are just curious to find out the fate/longevity of any of her other (9) siblings. She came from the only litter of Cinnamon and Chewy. We know that her sister, Miss Money Penny lived until at least (16) years old.
Spay surgery gave my puppy IMHA (?)
My mini goldendoodle is 8 months old and she developed a rare disease called IMHA. Her symptoms started manifesting about seven days after her surgery. Took her to the same vet that did her surgery and they performed a blood test and said she had a low red blood cell count and a high white blood cell count. They sent her home with antibiotics and a regenerative anemia diagnosis. Took her to the ER the next day and she was hospitalized for three days after they diagnosed her with IMHA.
I am very skeptical about her surgery and not a big believer in coincidences. I don’t know if that was the trigger but what does everyone think? Should I switch my primary vet?
Golden doodle grooming recommendations??
My dog recently got a horrible haircut and I was really growing out his hair and I’m upset that they decided to shave it off to make it easier. He didn’t have any matting and I paid for extra brushing just in case. His ears are uneven and his tail looks a mess. Any recommendations thank you!!
My boy, Gilmour, 2012-2026
My boy passed away today. I want you to know he was the kindest, most loving boy, and that he taught me more about being human than any human did. Hug your babies for me, please.
Kiko girl. Im debating on just cutting her hair shorter not shaved.
She was pretty long fur now. It is around 3 inches or so. I don’t think shaving would be appropriate right now? It’s so cute don’t want her to be naked without all her fur gone.
Can a furnished puppy still look flat at 4 weeks?
Hi everyone!
I’m trying to understand coat development before puppy pick day at 6 weeks and would love some breeder/owner opinions 😭
Mom is an F1B Goldendoodle and dad is a Multigen Goldendoodle. The litter is currently 4 weeks old (5 puppies total).
One puppy I really like still looks a little more flat/straight-coated right now, but the breeder says the puppy is definitely furnished.
My goal/look preference is:
soft plush fleece texture
loose wavy/shaggy teddy bear coat
not a very straight flat coat
My question is:
Can a puppy that looks flatter at 4 weeks still develop into a soft plush wavy fleece coat by 6–8 weeks or later?
Or by 4 weeks is the coat texture already pretty obvious?
I know nobody can guarantee adult coat type yet, but I’d really appreciate hearing real experiences from doodle owners/breeders 🙏
I’m probably overthinking this because I only get one pick
