Great video, Erin, thank you! Lots of good info plus such cute videos of some of your adorable past pups!❤️🐾
Thank you Cindy!
Our 11lb mini goldendoodle loves to play fetch all day! She also loves to swim
That’s awesome!
Love love all your advise ❤
Thank you!
Love your watching video’s!!Looking at the other fur babies video from other families, gosh you breed some beautiful doodles and they are so smart!
Thank you so much!
I have a male mini golden doodle F1B and he loves to fetch, he is now 5 months old and we just love him dearly.
That is awesome!
Erin, my mini and I love your channel! She is 18 months old and loves to play fetch! She is also a lap dog and will sit in my lap as long as I will sit with her. I love having a mini-we are empty nesters and she is the perfect size for us!
Awww that sounds lovely!
We have a 19 month old mini. He has loved to play fetch…from the time he came to us!! He wil fetch anything ..& if we are busy, he will find a toy and play ball himself. We are working on catching mid-air and he’s so good!! His favorite places to rest are the walk-in shower and tile floors.
That is awesome!
My 5 month old mini golden doodle loves to play fetch and loves the water
That is great!
Love watching your videos ❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you!
Kugel loves to play catch! She especially loves us to hurl her snuggle puppy, which she catches, then shakes, and brings back!
I’m so glad!!!
Our 4 month old mini golden doodle loves to play fetch!
Oh that’s wonderful!!!
So cute!!
thank you!
My mini loves to play fetch. We have a medium, too. They love to race to retrieve and play tug-of- war.
That is awesome!
The puppy laying on his/ her back was so cute.
I agree!
That family is going to be really amazed by the NM balloon festival, it's one of the most insane sight's I've witnessed!
Maybe it will have to go on our bucket list too!
Our 1 year old mini Goldendoodle loves to play fetch, play in the ocean and snuggle with her family. She has become to center of our home.
I am so glad! What fun activities
Our 12 week old cavapoo looks exactly like your mini golden doodle pups! He’s red! Your dogs are so adorable!!
They are so cute too!
I’m trying to decide between the two 😍 they are so sweet!!
@@DoodlesofNC it took us over a year to decide on a mini golden doodle from you guys or a cavapoo. We are in WI and found a wonderful cavapoo breeder 2 hours away. It was a hard choice!
My puppy is only 11 weeks, but he's learning how to play fetch! He seems to like it and does pretty well with it. He often trips over his feet in his haste to get the toy though 😂
Awww so precious!
They grow up so fast
Yes they do!
My mini (13lbs) loves to play fetch, chew and tug-o-war. And also loves to snuggle.
That is awesome
That is a great idea for aluminum foil…our first dog (20 plus years ago…he did not get early stimulations like you guys do) was scared of aluminum foil when we got it out the first time… It could simulate ice also as it is slippery a little. I would love to have a mini, but even minis are too « big » for flying on the plane in the cabin with us. So I keep watching the beautiful videos for now. Thanks and have a great weekend!
I love that! Thank you so much.
Our 13 year old medium doodle loved water and being in our boat. He even liked tubing. He did not play fetch. He had a look of disgust “ you want me to get that”. He had a basket of chew toys and stuffies. If it had a squeaker, he ripped it out. He loved laying beside you.
He loved tubing?!!?!? that is amazing!
Our 13lb Shidoodle LOVES fetch and is a vigorous toy player and chewer. She loves her Kong toys.
That is awesome! They are so cute
Cavoodles ( cavalier x poodle) are super popular here in Australia where I live as they are a small dog. I’ve only noticed groodles ( Australian call golden doodle) to be GR size. I’m leaning towards a bigger size.
I love that y’all call them groodles!
Hello from Grandview Doodles!
Hello!!! How cool!
Let’s go Maya! Let’s go!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
She did great! Videos to come!
Awwww I want one 😍
Well come on! We would love to help! =)
Ya están los subtitulos , ya puedo entenderlo todo . Tus vídeos los mejores , cuanto amor tienes , como los quieres❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yay!!!
My mini loves fetch! Hates the water!
That is awesome!
True! I sit with my goldendoodle's like I'm cradling a baby! 😂😂😂
Awwww
SAD. I really did not know. I had a 5 lb. yorkie and we would hike all over. She would keep up with all the big dogs. But I now know it was too much. Thank you for sharing this information.
I think it’s dog dependent! It’s ok!
like paper, the edge of aluminum foil can be sharp, perhaps fold it under when using it with the puppies?
Good idea
I did my research and reflected on the my life and I travel and a lot on vacations 3 to 5 times a year on the plane, cruises, New York, Orlando and Miami Florida. So which size goldendoodle should I get since a travel a lot.
That is so important! I love your life style! I’ll come along!
Ours is an Aussiedoodle/Labradoodle mix and is almost 16 months old and loves to play fetch. We do it with two balls…I throw one and she goes to get it and brings it back. She has to drop that one before I throw the other one for her. Sometimes she ends up with both of the balls and can’t make up her mind which one she wants. She will put one down and pick up the other and then switch.
That is adorable!
What about using those cooling pads? Even my Maltese gets very warm! Dawn
Yes! They do love the coolaroo
What yak cheese do you give your dogs? My almost 12 yr old golden doodle has a lot of stomach issues but still loves to chew. He can’t chew as hard anymore and I just don’t know what to give him.
Ours is a brand called ecokind- it’s from Amazon.
If you can handle it just get a Standard. I love my big fluffy boy. He's so much fun and such a good fetcher and swimmer.
that is awesome! We love the big dogs too!
My golden doodle mini is trying to dig all the time, backyard, on the sofa, on the couch and everywhere. What can I do to have him satisfy his digging instinct?
Maybe a puzzle?! Or a snuffle mat?
I had a mini golden doodle that lived to be 16 1/2 years old. We had to put him to sleep about a year ago. I always wondered why he didn't like to fetch . t
Awww wow, such a long life!
@@DoodlesofNC Yes he was a GREAT dog and that was a comfort to us that he lived so long.
Oh how wonderful you had so much time together! No matter, it is still so hard to let them go. We had to let our 13yo Goldendoodle go just last week, he had cancer and it progressed so quickly we did not even suspect. He has left a huge hole in our lives and hearts. I trust that someday he will send us someone new, but for now we miss him terribly 💔🐾
No puedo entenderte porque no hay subtítulos en español, pero aun así disfruto mucho viendo todas las imágenes😘😘
I’m sorry! I wonder how we do that!
My mini loves to play ball. She is just shy of 4months old
That is awesome! How big is she ?
Eccezionale, straorinario, unico !
thank you!
I have a 100 lb labradoodle. He’s soo much fun and always has a ball in his mouth. Only problem is that he sheds!! I wouldn’t trade him for anything. He’s my best friend.
Oh is he a f1???
@@DoodlesofNC yes ma’am. I brush him at least twice a day. 😊 I’m retired and disabled so he gets lots of attention. He s an inside dog and we take him outside to play ball and potty then back inside he comes to get back on his loveseat that no one sits in but him. Lol.
I just found out my dog is scared to death of the sound from a bug zapper. Might be an idea to introduce that sound to the dogs. It’s such a high frequency noise. Weird. 🤷♀️😂
Oh interesting one to add!!
I have a 10 week old, she was 6lbs at 8 weeks. Unsure how much she weighs currently. How big do you think she’ll get? Was hoping she would be medium but feeling like she may end up being a mini
There are calculators out there! It’s hard to tell!
My mini love balls; okay okay. but he is ball focused. He like to play take away, no matter the ball type.
And I love less then a stones throw for Lake Michigan so he has his fun.
I’m so glad! How fun!
Did you say the weight of the medium? I would love a video about coat types.
30-50!
Good idea on the video!
Il on combien de jour pour faire ce teste
test for what?
Hey doodles if nc I’ve always wanted to start my own business on dog breeding do you recommend any in person or online classes for people who want to learn everything you need to know about breeding.
Hello! I am actually making a breeders curriculum. So stay turned!
Oh perfect thank you
first, make sure your dogs are all health tested. Are you breeding for money or for the good of the breed? Are you breeding an actual breed or a cross? There's a lot more to breeding than throwing two dogs together, even if one is a poodle and you can give the puppies a cute name like "doodle."
How to you start the bussines if you have to health test them and do all that on your first one isn’t that super expensive
@@JaydenAnimationsShorts why would you breed a dog that you didn't know would pass the hips, elbows, hearts and eyes test? Wouldn't you want to know you aren't passing on any genetic issues to puppies? Yes, it's expensive. so are vet bills for dogs with hip dysplasia, heart problemes, etc. Do you want to sell puppies with those problems? Or are you in it just for the money?
Is this standard doodle or medium? Thanks
There are a lot of dogs in that video! could you be more detailed and I can help!?
I’m thinking about getting a goldendoodle, but there lots of other breeds I want. What should I do? P.S: I been did my research, but still can’t decide
Maybe your life style compared to the characteristics of the breed? Ask experts on each one and then narrow it down.!
I appreciate the diversity of walking mediums, but honestly, how often does a dog walk in foil?
It’s just to practice a variety of texture and for them not to be scared of new things. I don’t really think they’ll ever walk on tin foil! 😆
@@DoodlesofNC Thank you for responding, I’ve been watching your videos and learning quite a bit. I’ll be picking up a puppy soon, I appreciate your channel. Have a nice weekend.
where are you located
Burlington!
I would love to own a Labradoodle. Help please.
Your on the list now! woohoo
The shelters don't have goldendoodles , i don't want a dog that sheds or smells, I'm handicapped and need a pet that's easy
There are occasional rescues but your right it is rare
is ruby a medium?
Yes!
Hello
Hello!
Adopt and don't shop. The shelters and rescues are overwhelmed with dogs: there you can find a Doodle dog of your size and even try the dog out for a few weeks. It is also much cheaper than buying from a breeder. Stop these breeders.
Thank you for your thoughts.
Womp womp
Some people feel it’s too risky to adopt from shelters. I think about why the dogs are there to begin with when I considered purchasing from shelters. Yes, it’s a purchase. What if the dog had issues not known to the shelter and then what happens when the dog turns out to be unruly, aggressive or downright dangerous. You are then left with this poor dog to deal with like rehoming. Just my protective opinions for responsible breeders who are supporting their own families, economy and so on. Have a good day and open your mind to other angles and perspectives to this occupation.
The right size dog is the one who was adopted from the shelter and not bred for money and greed.
Thanks for sharing
Do you seriously think people will listen to what you say? That’s why breeders stay in business. People are gonna do what they want to with their money
@@nickidrew5113 I am going to advocate as much as I want. Breeders are exploiting animals (which should be illegal) for profit. They put the female dogs and cats through multiple litters to make money even though it is dangerous for them. Greed, and exploitation. I can say what I want as animals have no voice.
Definitely greed because why are dogs costing people thousands of dollars?!
@@alexandreabrigham296 Agreed. They exploit these animals by over breeding them many times in unsafe conditions and keep the females pregnant time after time to sell the dogs (and cats) at a profit for their own gain. Animal abuse. Just like pet stores who sell animals. I believe they banned selling animals in pet stores in California recently unless the animal came from a shelter. It helps the shelter, helps the pets get adopted etc. It is the ethical thing to do. I hope other states follow suit.
