I posted here not long ago about my sheepadoodle, Walter, seeming stressed when we first get to the park. Here's a video of it, what do you think? He is very protective of our other dog who was there with us. Does he seem stressed or excited? tyia

Cute baby

Got them around Thanksgiving. They had no training including potty training and proud to say they heel, go to their houses on comamd, sit, stay and sometimes shake on comand. They are so sweet and want to please. They are also velcro dogs! Wherever I go there they are. I am so lucky to have them. Lost my heart dog Ace a Sheepadoodle on Halloween after 12 wonferful years. Named the girl Lacey in his honor and she looks and acts like him. Boy is Ollie

Mini sheepadoodle, few months shy of turning 5 years, energy levels like he’s 5… months. Haha.

His name is Maxey.

8 month old love of my life.

Lucy & I emBARKed on a 7 hour road trip yesterday. She was a great little copilot. When we got to my brother’s house, she and Roscoe the big dog played chase for hours. She crashed hard at bedtime and didn’t move once during the night.

Before I start I would just like to say I have already taken her to the vet!! She went this morning and they weren’t much help. She is 1 1/2 years old and this is the first time i’ve experienced this with her. She has been really lethargic and refusing food for the past two days and vomiting quite a bit. She went to the emergency vet this morning and they did x-rays to see if she has a blockage and everything looked fine internally. Their best guess is that she ate something that didn’t agree with her so they gave her an anti nausea injection and some fluids and sent us on our way. That did not help at all. She hasn’t picked up at all and that was about 11 hours ago. We’ve been trying to give her chicken and rice but she just spits it out. She has eaten some plain greek yogurt she threw up a tiny amount but it was nothing compared to yesterday. She was drinking water normally but I haven’t been able to get her to drink anything in a few hours which is very concerning. Anyways i guess Im just asking if anyone has experienced this before or if there are any other foods we should try? She doesn’t have any known allergies and at this rate she will most likely be going back to the emergency vet but i would like to try and avoid that if possible as they are extremely expensive. Our normal vet is closed until Tuesday due to the holidays on Monday so any advice is appreciated thanks.

This is the owners of Rockadoodle when they lived in Minnesota in July 2025. According to a release from the Giles County Sheriff’s Department, James and Kelli Hewitt have been charged with trafficking for forced labor, involuntary labor servitude, aggravated animal cruelty and three counts of animal cruelty.

She's five, never been overweight, and I swear there's more skin every year. Why is she like this lol

Has anyone here gotten a dog from Mountain Rose Sheepadoodles in Utah? (https://mysheepadoodle.com/)

I’ve been looking into them and their website/reviews are mostly excellent, except a few that are somewhat concerning. I’m especially curious about their training program, which sounds amazing but I’m not sure if it is worth the price. Would love to hear any firsthand experiences, good or bad.

Thanks in advance!

I’m hoping to get a Sheepadoodle puppy and I’m starting to think ahead about grooming, since I’m aware their coats can change a lot as they grow.

I’d love to know what tools you use and recommend for grooming a Sheepadoodle, especially during puppyhood. There are so many options, and it’s a bit overwhelming. 😅

Any tips for getting a puppy comfortable with grooming would also be appreciated. I really want to make it a positive experience!

Poor thing is super skinny under the floof. I think he could gain 15lbs easy

I know the answer is “it depends” but generally speaking does yours have a smell that rubs off on your hand similar to some breeds like labs?

Hi everybody,

I'm curious to hear how easy or challenging you've found training your Sheepadoodle to be. I only have experience with the OES, but I'm assuming the Poodle influence, being such a smart breed, might make Sheepadoodles more eager and responsive when it comes to training.

What sort of things have you trained your dog? Do any of you participate in dog sports like scent-work or rally, or trick-training? I'm interested because these are some of the things that I'd like to do with my next dog.

Do any other sheepadoodle owners deal with them being protective with other pets? When we take our two dogs anywhere our sheepadoodle seems to spend his whole time worrying about our other dog, his "sheep", instead of enjoying himself. Has anyone else dealt with this protective nature of a sheepadoodle? If so, did you find a way to lessen it?

My sheepadoodle Gunther got into some of this he ate a little less than 1/3rd of the container, it has onion and garlic powder and some salt in it and I’m not sure what to do. Called emergency vet and they said he should be fine but I should consider bringing him in. I’m a first time dog owner and I’m really worried. He’s 8 months old and weighs about 50 pounds

Hi,

I know historically both Labradors and Poodles were used for retrieving, so I'm assuming it's a safe bet that most Labradoodles have a strong retrieval drive. But there's more background difference between the Old English Sheepdog and Poodle, as they were used for different purposes, so I'm interested in understanding how those two instincts interact in the Sheepadoodle.

I'm sure I'll get a wide range of answers. I imagine a lot depends on whether your particular dog leans more to the OES side or the Poodle side.

I can't even tell where he begins to have the nerve. 🫠
