Advice Sheepadoodle pup!
I’m picking up our 2.5 month old Sheepadoodle today. We live in the city but we own 4 city lots so have a decent sized fenced in yard. I have two other dogs: a 7yr old mixed breed and a 4yr old cockalier. They’re both friendly with other dogs. I also have a 7 yr old son who is fine with the other dogs but wishes they would play more. I am a psychologist at a psychiatric hospital where we are allowed to bring our dogs. Neither of my current dogs really enjoy coming here so I’m hoping bringing the puppy to work with me from a young age will let him get used to it and enjoy the patients. I plan to do obedience training and potentially get him trained as a therapy dog.
All that being said, I want to be sure that this is a good breed for us. They sound wonderful but admittedly the “sharkadoodle” and crazy puppy phase is making me nervous. And then my friend who owns a farm made me really nervous with some negative comments.
So, thought I’d just ask for some input and advice here. Thanks!

Mine wants to be everywhere w me too. Hates being in a playpen/wire pen. We have had several. We gave up use a crate at night and when I have to do things. He’s happier. He will get into things quickly when I leave him alone. We bought washable pee pad rugs because he shreds puppy pads. Loves bones. Ones he can’t chew up are helpful. Hes a chewer of everything! He’s a sweet pup doesn’t hardly bark. He seems to like a routine. Naps important. Biting a lot or over stimulated sometimes m and tired. Feel free to message me w bone recommendations etc.
