AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW....mini doodles? I can't remember what kind you said they were going to be!

I'm making progress on the puppy front...hopefully soon!!!!!!!!!! I've been looking at breeders...we've at least narrowed it down to the F1B goldendoodle...no shedding!

You go Katie! You KNOW who will melt to the ground when you bring that pup home? Yeah....that guy.🀣
This guy or girl we adopt will be just in time to grow up boating..

It’s a multi-gen mini Australian Labradoodle. That’s a mouthful. 🀣

That is just freakin awesome Tuscany!

Last summer we trained ours to the point of backing up within 10' or so of the bank. She jumps off (with her LJ ) swims to the shore to pee, then swims back to the boat. She is fully boat integrated and an official "water dawg"!!

After losing our 2 Ridgebacks last year we couldn't hold out any longer and bought a female Goldendoodle. Sammie is now 7 months old and weighs 50 lbs. The goofiness of a Golden Retriever with NO shedding and NO affect on the wife's allergies.

She is that. She cracks us up every day. She's a big clown.

Love your corgi YT. That is a training feat!
2ridge, she's beautiful! Ours should have the similar goofiness which I love..

I want two of these dogs, just so freakin cute..but we're going with our original plan of one.. Our Yorkies didn't get along that well. Our male was a bully to his sister. They fought over the same toy, even though we had two. Same with the food bowl. The competition was a PITA. I know this breed is different, but there is a small dog brain in that small dog head, and I don't want to chance it.
It might have just been a crazy Yorkie thing. We're hoping the Lab DNA will do its part, and maybe get a second in a year or two.

Our first dog, a Golden, was so kind.. He loved our first Yorkie.. When we got the second? Well, the golden was still patient and loving.
One year while strolling in the grape farm next to us, he found this newborn rabbit and brought it home. We found him with the rabbit between his paws, cleaning it like a momma. πŸ™ˆ..we found the nest and brought it back. Who knows what happened to the wild rabbit, but that was him... that guy wouldn't hurt a fly..

Katie must not have seen this yet - because if she had she would be in the car on her way to come steal that dog from you.

Golden's are the best. Had several of them growing up.
