Yes my old mini fox terrier rescue about age 9. Came to us, was a well behaved farm dog for ratting. Probably jumped she was a jumper. Anyway doc tightened up with surgery. We followed the lay low at first the slow stretches with full range of motion added in. We use later stairs slowly and all directional training on flat surfaces and stepped on a surface like an upside down sturdy bowl. She did great. Too two full years to get rid of residuals. After 3 years she started slowing down and going blind so she walked less and limped more. She died at age 16 years. A sweetheart, hope that helps. She was named Win.

Some people want labs but suffer from allergies. Having a labradoodle enables my daughter to have a dog she can take out to do stuff, which she frequently does. Thank goodness these breeds now exist so people who live in smaller homes can partake in the joys of having a dog. I don’t think that’s a bad thing.

I love the point made about choosing your own result, and being happy with what's good enough for you. Decades ago, I was in a retriever club oriented toward field trial competition. While I appreciated the training days and learning the path to titling a dog, I didn't really care about competition. I'm a hunter and wanted a squared away hunting dog that was genuinely a great family pet as well, not just one of many kenneled dogs while playing a numbers game with a number of dogs to accumulate ribbons or titles. Not my thing - don't care! 😄 My pup got a lot of experience flushing upland game and retrieving ducks in real world hunts. She didn't take perfect lines, sometimes she'd run the bank, she'd break off the line at the shot - she had faults that wouldn't pass in field trials, but as a practical matter she was an amazing gun dog and always a pleasure to hunt over. She didn't handle on blind retrieves to the level of an AFTC dog, but what does that matter when I'm not sure what patch of cattails a duck sailed into anywhere between 150 to 200 yards out? "Back!" Then, "Back!" again, and a cheat by sending her downwind of my best guess and let her nose take it from there. Despite things that would be faulted in a trial dog, I'd have still put her up against any dog for locating and returning with the bird. Ultimately, on upland birds, I was drop dead confident she could find birds in fields already hunted over by groups and their dogs because I didn't micro manage her into quartering within 25 yards. When she dropped her nose and the pace of her wagging tail picked up, we might start a track 100+ yards off course, but we're about to put a bird in the bag that a score of other hunters already missed. I also agree about some lines of American trial type labs being bred too hot. Even if I was interested in trialing, I still wouldn't want a dog whose butt could never quite get all the way to the ground while it trembled and whined at the line. Ugh, no thank you. A balanced mind with that just-right enthusiasm and a decent work ethic is my ideal dog.

I’m looking into a class action against breeders of the ilk. Sold me a bill of goods, a nightmare. I cannot trek a dog outside everyday. Outrageous expectation. It needs to be said.

I have a 15-month-old female Golden Retriever. I am retired and spend a lot of time outdoors. She is a very confident dog . When walking with a leash I keep having to remind not to pull. She will walk find for 30 feet and then progressively starts to move forwards. Same routine. Any advice would be appreiated.t

Yes!!! Can he see his surroundings? Is he matted and uncomfortable? Are there stickers in-between his toes? Walking around in pain and severely limited vision is enough to make anyone lash out.

I bite people when my bangs get too long. I start feeling emo

I still stand firmly that people need to do plenty more research before they keep getting dogs that they're unprepared for... It'll never happen... But It's just how I feel the world would be bettered

my dog is part basenjipoo (basenji and poodle) and i can see how if i did not put in the needed work he would be driving me crazy.

Purpose breeding mongrels is never responsible. Some “breeders” might take nice care of their animals, but they are still mutts.

hair covering dogs eyes drive me nuts...it is yet another form of animal cruelty.

Again 100% with ya. Met a force free dog trainer once. She trained dogs and horses, and she owned two border collies and 5 sheep. Absolutely lovely, wacky Lady. She was excellent with horses, as far as I can tell, but in the evening, had to bring in the sheep herself. 😂 Her two dogs, 5 and 3 yrs old, were absolutely unimpressed with whatever she told them ...

Best description of the situation I’ve heard! I couldn’t agree with you more. I think one issue that you didn’t touch on with doodles is that the breeding stock may include dogs with less than ideal temperaments. Purebred poodle breeders are so fiercely protective of their dogs they make it impossible for doodle breeders to have access to poodles with stellar temperaments. So I think some of the problem with doodles stems from the fact that they have to use “lower quality” breeding stock which leads to temperament issues (nervous, anxious, reactive, etc.)

Both our shepherd mix and bloodhound tore both ccls. All within 2 years. My advice... warm up the pooch before it goes to run. Play with it, jog it a little or just morning stretch. Our boys were flat out sprint chasing horses (neighbor horses with a fence) for long periods of time. The vet said it was most likely that they both loved to just launch themselves off of porches. We did the aquatic therapy (hound hated it) and mostly they both recovered really well. They both had stiff days and I would stretch their legs abs give them doggy cbd and glucosamine/conjointion. The bloodhound's left knee also lost the muscle cap so he has a much harder time moving and took much longer to heal...but he also has spinal degeneration that is starting to progress(he's 11 which for a big hound is decently old). The shepherd mix healed with out any issues and was back to being almost as fast as before. He did have a few sore time we would keep him quiet for those days. He injured himself (jumping the porch 🤦‍♀️ at 8 yrs old). The bloodhound at 9 years old. Allowing the dog to heal is the biggest part of it and maybe even over supporting them until it is healed so that everything builds back slowly and strongly. Both dogs had a band type surgery, the hound is big enough he had double bands on both knees. The vet taught me how to stretch the legs slowly to make it so they had full range of motion. They also had "complimentary " Lazer therapy. All together for both dogs 7k in knees. 😅

Our 10 yr. old Shepherd completely tore his ACL and had surgery. Long hard recovery but he made it. Our 9 yr. old Lab had a partial tear. I didn't think she could've emotionally handled surgery. I just kept her very quiet. Only took her out for short potty breaks. After several months of this, she was recovered and lived 3 more years without a problem.

Responsible breeders should assure that they’re breeding dogs proven to not have health problems that would be passed along to their offspring; should have good temperaments, and should TEACH those buyers who need to be educated about that particular breed. Years ago, we had Field bred Labrador retrievers; they were wonderful dogs! But then, people began abandoning dogs at the end of our driveway. So, since THAT time we’ve had mixed breed dogs. Sigh…I would love another Lab, but their costs are now out of my ability to buy. I LOVED my yellow Labs!

IMO the first rule in ethical breeding is to produce animals for which there is demand. Prospective dog owners demand ’doodles’ so there’re gonna be doodles. The real trick is this - how do we as a community educate starry-eyed prospective dog owners so that more of them make good decisions and ultimately end up with an appropriate canine companion for their personal circumstances

Prevention is key….don’t get your large breed dogs fixed before 2 years of age. Allow their bodies to mature fully. They need their hormones to grow strong ligaments and bones and allows their growth plates to fully close. Vets who “fix” a puppy at 6 months and don’t inform owners of the potential risks that comes with fixing their puppy so early in life should have to pay for that puppies medical care for the rest of its life if they tear their CCL. Every Labrador that I personally know that was fixed at 6 months old all ended up with at least one CCL tear. With some of them having both CCL’s tear before they were even 3 yrs old.

June is a very nice pup. I think it's a shame that people get any dog without having a plan to correctly train them. Or groom them regularly or willing to pay to have them groomed.

I had a Brittany who blew out his CCL at 5yo and we had TPLO surgery completed. Though more expensive we opted for TPLO v. TTA as we wanted a more rock solid outcome - you only get so many years with a dog. Research both and talk to docs that do both to decide what you think is best. The surgery does change their gait a bit and the doc encouraged us to plan on the opposite side going at some point. 3 1/2 years later he tore the other and we went back to the same doc and he got him up and going again. I second @cindyrubinsone6565 on getting a good doc - skill level of the doc matters. Recovery included pain management, restraining activity for a while, and then increasing activity and stretching for range of motion with the bone healed. For what TPLO is the recovery was surprisingly fast and we could trust his knees within a few months by putting in the time to properly increase activity and helping the dog stretch. No fancy or expensive rehab needed other than appropriate daily exercise and a little range of motion work. We were back hunting about 3 months later. Managing arthritis became something as he hit double digits in regard to age but he lived to be 16 1/2 and there weren't many days even at that age he wasn't chomping at the bit to get the morning walk in.

Dobby, were successful but cost almost $20,000.

reactivity is not always fear imo

We had tplo surgery done on our husky. Each surgery recovery took a long time. At the time, it was experimental surgery and she went to the University of Missouri veterinary school. It worked, though and she lived into her mid teens.

I had a 2 year old chocolate lab that tore a CCL. I wanted to let it try to heal on its own and waited about a year but people were telling me it was mean to not give him surgery. So I paid lots of money for the TPLO surgery and not only did it not work but I could feel the screws through his skin and could tell it bothered him. Then on top of that of course the other leg tore because it was getting all the weight while healing from that surgery. We need to step back and realize not only that surgeries are rarely the answer but also think about the likely causes for these issues including both allowing vets to cut the nuts off your dog at 5-6 months leaving them with no hormones for the developmental time and also vaccines likes rabies that most definitely messes with the collagen in the puppies. Neither one of those procedures should be mandatory and informed consent is important. Obviously CCL can also rip just from a really bad fall or something but that’s not the majority.

Had 4digs who torn the ccl ligament they each had Tplo surgery all success stories it’s all in the surgeon , rest rehab you must be willing to commit to a road of recovery all 3 large breed dogs 2huskies 2pitties the rehab after was well spent under water treadmill and stretching

😂❤🎉 from Germany: saying what I've been saying for decades, about Yorkies, Small Poodles, those really small Pinchers (we call them Rehpincher, Reh means deer)... y'all get what I mean. You take one of those and raise them like a real dog, you can have a fine companion and or rat catcher, but people going for them usually just aren't the kind of people to do that. Plus last week I heard Clint (the zoologist) say: "pure breed is just a polite way of saying inbred".

Great job pointing this out stonnie! That's the tradeoff when you go for the none-shedding coat type, you *have* to then manage their coat properly. That's part of what you signed up for. It's even worse on the bouviers and the giant schnauzers, where dog show people intentionally leave their dogs with hair over their eyes in order to look a certain way in the ring. Really boils my piss

i can't even talk about doodles without getting mad 😃 HOW DID A CROSS BREED, SO STUPID GET SO POPULAR???

I have a chihuahua/Pitt Bull and a chihuahua/Jack Russel that were rescues and already about a year old when we got them. They are good, well behaved dogs. The have what I call "isimm's" that they will never be able to overcome because of their rough starts in life. Adopt but don't think you are getting a blank slate.

My very big Central Asian Shepherd dog swallowed my neighbor's poodle toy whole. So I now have a Shepherdoodle that looks nothing like a poodle dog ;-)

My husband works as a prof. dog trainer, between the two of us we have over 70 yrs in dog training experience, we own 3 Belgian Mals, and a Pitbull, a rescue.. all with the average training that comes with the breed..personal protection search and rescue, drug search, agility.. yadda yadda... but occasionally we get people who get a puppy and want it trained on the basics, before they take it home..so we keep it for roughly 6-8 weeks for training,.. and I will tell you the most wonderful breed I have ever experienced for the first-time training was a Weimaraner, it totally threw me off guard at what a wonderful breed they are, I fell head over heels in love.,, so you guessed it, at first available time in life MaMa wants a Weimaraner..lol,,

I have followed you since I got my boy Harry eight years ago. He's a yellow "english" lab. - My fatty Harry is far from lazy - he loves to swim and run- he's just choosy about how and when he partakes. My black field lab Annie (skinny as a rail - can't keep weight on her) was given to me from a hunting plantation because she was not cutting it as a retriever - lived outside for her first 2.5 years ( she was trained by a cattle prod - !!! - no poop she was damaged). She is the sweetest most well behaved girl, loves to run and swim - I'm so lucky to have gotten her! Of course you are correct about early training and socialization - starts with the breeder. I also follow puppy culture - as a breeder she starts with the bitch even during pregnancy and then takes care to make sure the puppies are exposed to environments and people so that when they get to their homes they are on their way to being well adjusted dogs. I am just lucky that my girl Annie was able to overcome. As for doodles - folks are free to spend their money on whatever they want. Also, so loved your video about how to choose the right dog for you. Thank you for your videos!

Showline's are bred to be handicapped. Sad

Catahoula Leopard dog

I hear about labradoodles that are very hyper. I think that if a breeder is going to breed Labradoodles, they should strive to reduce that by using an English Lab instead of a Field Lab crossed with a calm poodle...health tests for both, etc. Back crossing to another poodle for 75/25 poodle to Lab is probably the trickiest part perhaps. That's the version most people want because less shedding. I am a black Lab fanatic, but my second favorite would be a Labradoodle with carefully chosen parents. I'm getting older and the weight of my English Lab may become an issue in a few more years.

💥👍👏💥👏👍💥 What a WONDERFUL example of being a positive part of society in general AND an even better example of logical thinking and interaction within the dog owners' community!

now that is a heckin cute good boy doggerino

So cute

Bought a mini at my daughter's school auction 5 years ago. Most expensive mutt I ever bought, in fact only one I ever paid money for.(mutts). Most loyal, hard working dog I've ever had. Easy to train. Also have a golden lab retriever. I trained as well but he 'still a s head, a loving sweet one. In a world where you have men leaving their families, lopping off body parts, I hate to say it but these made up breeds, they don't even catch my attention anymore. We all need to pray.

Used to be English sheepdogs - met so many ones with aggression issues.

I’ve been in horse and dog world for a long time and it fascinates me how different the breeder responsibility is. In the horse world it’s 100% caveat emptor. You have to pay for a vet exam, blood work, X-rays if you want them and usually it runs around 700-1000$. If the horse fails, money gone. Next buyer comes along and repeats. Some buyers can’t afford this take a chance and if horse is lame later, was drugged at time of tryout they don’t really have a recourse. Happens all the time. I’ve always thought its great when dog breeders offer health certs, guarantees, image hips in vulnerable breeds, think through genetic traits. You don’t see that in horse breeding. The last horse I purchased, I did 9 vet checks on failed horses with problems- joint issues, OCDs in the joints that would affect soundness were found in all of them.

I’m a dog professional also, and the amount of people that own doodles and don’t take care of their hair is frustrating. Love the videos 😊

George chasing the butterfly 😆🤣

I’m loving your technique ❤

Love your show. You make sense.

I totally agree with everything Stony has said but, would like to add that many other breeds are subject to having mismatched owners. Malinois come to mind. Seems to me a lot end up in rescue because of lack of socialization. People think they're cool and athletic, but often have no idea what kind of training goes into having a super cool athletic dog. The other point I would like to respond to is some points regarding ethical breeding. Puppy mills obviously churning out puppies that have minimal contact with humans, minimal environmental stimulation etcetera are unethical. I think we all know what puppy mills are. Selection of parents based on health would depend on the breed. Hip dysplasia is an example. Don't breed dogs that have a bad hip score! Bloat, longevity..... these things absolutely can be Quantified. But it is beyond the scope of a poorly thought-out comment. As the owner of an intact male golden I can tell you I have been approached by people who would breed him without knowing his hip score. They feel they can charge a pretty penny for a dog that is not purebred ( golden doodles) yet in big demand. So the answer to them is no. One lady had lined up a stud for her female golden and he was too lazy to get the job done. The next stud died of bloat the night before they were to breed. I'm thinking a lot of breeds are not breed for good temperament and health! I'm thinking she wanted my boy to do the job but have a paper trail to one of the others. Unethical.

In my experience, I work with a couple of very ethical doodle breeders. They believe in what they are doing and have had to form their own community outside of the regular breed clubs. There are standards, community and passion for the breed.

From what I see of the Poodle x dogs, the owners are unaware of the temperament that these dogs seem to have (on average and from what I’ve seen). And I agree with you, Stonnie, that their owners aren’t savvy at all about the importance of basic obedience and socialization. I have a neighbor that didn’t start socializing hers until he was 6 months old because the vet said not to take it anywhere before it got all its shots. It is 2 now, and has been unable to behave around other dogs. He is aggressive and very reactive. It is relegated to walks around the block only and crossing the street when others are walking their dogs.

You are a very reasonable individual. Thank you for talking down those reactive people that fly off the handle when everyone doesn't have the same limited view they have. Breeders of poodle crosses can be "ethical" to be forthright about the poodles high energy, and the breed characteristics of the breeds the poodles are crossed with. Like the poodle/cocker crosses... cockers were developed to go all day in field, poodles were developed to go all day in the field. They make for horrid couch potatoes. Adorable as they are, and most are, they need a very active life style, dedicated training, and socialization. A breeder would be 'ethical' to include a full discloser to what an owner can expect. AND not sell their puppies to just anyone.

Doodles of any type are never ethical or responsible. This dog is a mutt, not a bred dog. This is what you'd get at a rescue, not a $2500+ dog. They are not "poodle" crosses - they're poorly bred mutts. The lady who even started the breeding program has come out against them, wishing she had never done that.
