I found this page posted on a Goldendoodle breeders site, Tropoco Kennels and found that it had a lot of really useful information for people looking to buy a Goldendoodle or any breed of puppy for that matter..

Check this out: Buyers Beware

Below is an excerpt from her post:

“Just because you find a breeder on a so-called “Premium Breeders List”, doesn’t mean all the breeders on there are ethical. The breeders all pay to advertise. Last I

Our Puppies are Here!!

I’m happy to report that our Standard Poodle Daisy Doodle had her first Goldendoodle this morning at 7am and was in labor until 11:45! She had 7 beautiful Goldendoodles! 3 Girls and 4 Boys. All 100% black!! I was surprised to say the least and excited!  I’ve personally never seen an all black Goldendoodle in person..however I have seen them on google.com and they’re awesome looking and I can just imagine if they…

Cassie the Golden Doodle learned how to skateboard after less than a week of training. Cassie’s owner Richard Maguire has been training animals for over 35 years. She loves to skateboard and is getting better each day. Watch both videos!

I just finished watching a documentary called Earthlings that contains the most abominable acts of cruelty towards animals that I have ever seen. It is horrible.

It’s hard to believe that this important documentary has been available for more than a year on DVD. I am so thankful to have come across it, and I hope that all of our readers take time to view it.

Cesar Millan and HIS Pack of dogs..

Victoria Stilwell and Cesar Millan are currently two of the most popular dog trainers in America, if not in the world. Both of them have their own tried and true methods of training. There is a lot of debate online and in the media on whether Cesar Millan’s methods are outdated and cruel.
So the questions is, If you had a dog with behavior issues who would you call?

Debate: Victoria Stilwell or Cesar Millan: Who would you call?

Here is an adorable dog breed that looks A LOT like a Doodle. The Lagotto Romagnolo has hair not fur.. so like the Poodle they DO NOT shed. You just Gotta Love a non-shedding dog!

RESCUE INK is a rescue group unlike any you’ve seen before: a bunch of tattooed, motorcycle-riding tough guys who have joined together to fight animal cruelty, educate abusers and help resolve situations other rescue groups can’t – or won’t – handle themselves.

It’s a proven fact that all dogs are better behaved when they are involved in activities. Activities to exercise both their minds and their bodies. A bored dog is often a mischievous, or destructive dog.
Take a look at the list in this post to see if there’s a dog sport or activity that you’d be interested in doing with your dog. You can also check to see what’s available for you and your dog in your local area.

So now that I have 3 BIG dogs and all of them like to yank my arm off.. I have to find halters that will help us with the pulling. Below are all the halters that I’ve found online that I’ve been looking at but I have no clue which one to try yet! It’s really driving me crazy so I’m just gonna jump in and buy a couple.

The trick to all training is to follow all behaviors with consequences. The dog sits, and gets a treat (positive reinforcement = a good thing). He barks, and gets a correction (punishment= a bad thing). Every behavior is followed by a consequence, good or bad, which affects the likelihood of the behavior being displayed again.

My doodles Pull like trains when we take them for walks. I’ve switched from the collars to the harnesses just to protect their necks but now I need something to protect my shoulders.

I’m thinking of trying this Sporn coller. Have any of you used anything like this with sucess? I’d love to hear what you all have to offer..all advice is heard with an open mind. I beg of you HELP me! ((wink))

Chaining is not only inhumane for dogs, but has taken a severe toll on this nation’s children as well. In the period from October 2003 through August 2009, there were at least 277 children killed or seriously injured by chained dogs across the country.

With the holidays and winter months fast approaching, you will want to make sure that your dog is safe and protected.

The following post provides tips for keeping your dog safe during the holidays and winter months.

As your loyal organizer I have attempted to look for parks closer to our Portland members and we have had 2 out of our 6 play dates at Portland Parks and so far I’ve chosen these parks because I researched them or I was told that they were nice but unfortunately, both times I was highly disappointed and in comparison to Ross…
