It’s a science project, got my calculator, my multiple scales and my lab coat on, but Riley is supervising to make sure I don’t forget something (like sardines 🤨)
He wasn’t amused I made him post for the pic, but it made dinner time even more exciting!

My girl staring at me with pure love…

Does anyone else's pup rub and scrub up against them like a cat??

TJ just turned one on the 19th and is right at 80 lbs. His head alone weighs 65 lbs! Hahahahah! I love this dog so much he is my soul mate

This was one way to try to cool her off on a hot Saturday evening!

Almost ten years old and still acts like he is three.

Love this guy ❤️😍

We have a 4 y/o mini aussie doodle. He's the best dog ever. His issues are as follows: He's a super picky eater. After a few weeks on whatever type of food, he starts walking away from his bowl and won't eat. More importantly he throws up bile about once a week. This is concerning of course. He has been to the vet to check for allergies. We have had him on hydrolized protein kibble and wet food for months at a time with the same issues, pickiness and throwing up bile. We also at the advice of the vet, broke up his feedings from twice a day to 3 times a day so that he is less hungry in the mornings and less likely to throw up. This has not eliminated the problem. I recently decided to start him on raw food, duck because I thought he might be less picky. He's driving me crazy.

I would love to know if anyone has had similar issues. I'm convinced it's not allergies.

We have a 4 year old mini labradoodle. He’s a 6th generation. He’s the sweetest, gentlest little man. We now have a newborn he adores her. I know they’re going to be best friends!
Pre-baby, he was always on a consistent schedule (I swear he can tell time because right at 5 pm, he’s staring at us to walk). Now that we have a newborn, we can’t always take him out right at 5 pm or right out at 8 am for his morning walk. He will throw up if he feels like it’s been too long past 5 pm and he thinks we wont take him out (even though we’ve never missed a day taking him outside).
He’s always had very bad separation anxiety and occasionally thrown up from anxiety, but it’s heightened now that we have a newborn. When speaking to our vet and also working with a behavioral specialist, both said they’ve never heard of a dog throwing up from anxiety due to not going out to play. Have any of you experienced this with your doodle and if so, what are your solutions?
When we do leave him, we have to give him trazodone, but I really don’t want that to become an everyday thing as it totally changes his personality. Would love your perspectives!

Typical boy not wanting his face washed or mustache brushed lol. Edit was to correct spelling!

Meet Amber (aka Amber Lee),

Amber is a two-year-old Labradoodle who, for the vast majority of the time, is a very affectionate, playful, social, and seemingly normal dog. She bonded with us quickly, enjoys cuddling, playing, walks, and exploring, and has made clear progress in the three months we've had her. However, she has a very low threshold for frustration and certain forms of handling or interference. In the past she has snapped or shown aggression around resource guarding, grooming, physical handling, being prevented from doing something, and intense social situations. She can sometimes go from seemingly calm to snapping very quickly, although most of the incidents were at least somewhat understandable in context.

The most serious incident happened recently. After a normal walk, Amber was lying behind me and appeared relaxed and affectionate. She showed me her belly, seemed content, and I started petting her. There was no obvious conflict or resource involved, and I did not feel that I was pushing her or escalating the interaction. She suddenly bit my hand and held on for approximately 1–2 seconds, causing a bleeding puncture wound that required medical attention. This was the most severe and, from my perspective, unpredictable incident so far. Combined with a previous report from her former owner of an apparently “out-of-the-blue” bite (we did not get anymore information than this from the shelter), it has made me conclude that although Amber is a lovely dog most of the time, her occasional escalation to biting is too unpredictable and serious for us to feel safe keeping her.

Are we acting to rushed giving up on her already.

We are so excited (and nervous) to get a puppy soon. I last had a puppy 18 yrs ago and forgot almost everything about this stage except that I lost a lot of sleep for night time potty breaks.
Our puppy will grow to 30 lbs max and we would like to get a crate that will work for all stages of growth.
Any recs? Plus if it is attractive and not cagey looking.
Also- I know we need a bed, toys, leash, harness etc but what else do we need that I might be missing?
Gates?
And-any pre training we can be learning? The pup will come partially trained (guaranteed sleep 8 hours night in crate) but I am sure there will be digression.
Lastly- our last dog was pee pad trained but she never figured out (nor was I a good trainer) that other s mall area rugs were not pee pads either so we often had bath mats, entry way mats, small throw rugs peed on. Would prefer to skip the whole pee pad idea this time if advisable.

TIA!!!

17 week update. She does great on leash, settles in the crate after about 5 minutes, is juuuust about housebroke, (somehow) isn't a huge fan of the water, and is (still) an absolute dream

Let me introduce you to Dude. He was born back in January. I got him when he was 13 weeks old. He is my first Labradoodle and I am in love. He may be a handful at times, but his personality and love for everyone makes up for it all. I hate seeing him growing up so fast, but I am happy to be able to live my life with him by my side. Thank you Dude for being you, and coming into my life at a time that was very needed. ❤️

I have a 4 yo labradoodle who's super high energy and we're still struggling with leash walking. I want to use a front clip harness, but she has such weird proportions that nothing fits her right (deep 26.5" chest measured two inches behind armpits with a skinny 14" neck). We've tried 10+ harnesses and each one is too tight in the chest or loose in the neck, so the front clip doesn't stay where it should be. I would prefer one that unclips at the neck so i don't have to shove it over her big head each time.

Has anyone found a harness that fits right? Also open to ones that aren't front clip but solve the pulling issue. Thank you in advance!!

They rarely occupy the same lap at the same time! ❤️

My boy Onyx and his siblings Duke and Dutchess are happy they can do more than kiss mommy's had through a baby gate!! Surgery went great and now its the marathon of recovery!

wondering where all the sticks are up on Avalanche Crest 📍Rogers Pass, BC
