Dandy Doodles
Lexie A breeder once told me about the basic difference between a goldendoodle (golden retriever + poodle) and a labradoodle (Labrador retriever + poodle): The goldendoodle is like that guy in your high school class who everybody loved and who loved everybody. The class clown. Not too concerned about grades, just wanting to have a good time with everyone. The labradoodle, though, would be the person who was elected class president—the guy whom everybody liked and respected, who was responsible, the guy who, if there was a problem, wanted to work to solve it. So, for example, when you take a goldendoodle for a walk, she’s loving life—interested in everything, excited about other dogs she sees, just as happy as she can be. The labradoodle will be happy too, but he will be most happy if he can feel he’s accomplishing something during the walk. So he might carry a stick the whole time. “We’re not here just to have fun—we have a job to do!” That’s a labradoodle. Lovely Lexie relaxing ...
