r/labradoodle

About 3 weeks ago my wife brought home a 12 week old labradoodle. After the initial excitement, Walter settled into big brotherhood reluctantly – never aggressive but not really welcoming.

Now, he has gone on to fully embrace Ollie. What’s even more adorable is how much Ollie loves Walter – following him everywhere, taking his cues for potty from him, and even imitating his play sounds.

And Walter is so patient and gentle with him too. I’m a proud dog dad 🥰

What has it been like for you when introducing a new dog, puppy, or other animal into the family?

We recently rescued this cutie and I was wondering if anyone has a similar coated pup 🐾 She is 50% lab, 37% Poodle and 12% Bernese Mountain Dog.

She sheds a little bit, so I’m wondering if she needs to go to a groomer and get trimmed, or if I can just brush and clean her up at home. If it’s a DIY job, what tools do you recommend?

Tips appreciated!

been listening to this ASMR of my doodle chomping on a cucumber on repeat for the last 2 hour… 🥹

Just saying hi!
