![]() ![]() It’s so cute! And, then when I say, “ok all done”, he jumps up and runs to the treat jar. He actually is so trained now, no lie, he comes and sits or lies down in the photo where I’m taking a photo, before I even ask him to come. Ever since he realized that he gets treats for lying on the floor in a certain place for 5 minutes, he was on it. If you are thinking of getting a pup through a breeder, I would definitely suggest that you go meet their family first. I’m not sure if they stopped breeding Golden Doodles or what happened. We weren’t planning on picking a pup that day, but it just happened and we are so glad that we stopped by on that particular day! The breeder where we found Chester is no longer online. When we found a breeder close by, we drove to meet the family and Chester just happened to be the last pup of their last litter. I’m pretty sure that he would come no matter what you called him, as long as you had a treat waiting for him. It’s almost like he feels that it becomes part of him if he wears it for more than a day…hence why he wears his Christmas jingle bell all year round now.Ĭhester has lots of nicknames….Do Dog Do, Ming Ming, Chestie Doo, just to name a few. He loves having a sweater on for some reason. I’m not sure how we are going to get Chester to take his sweater off when it comes time for the blazing hot summer here in Tucson, AZ. They are the sweetest of dogs and they mean well at all times. ![]() I’m sure Chester isn’t the most calm of pups when getting groomed, because he gets so excited, but a groomer should know that about Golden Doodles and not accept them if they can’t handle these pups. We went through about 4 groomers before we found the perfect one. It was tough to find a good groomer that was sweet to Chester. We now just have him trimmed and the length depends on our matted he is at the time. We had him shaved pretty short a couple of times when we first got him and he hated it, so we stopped doing that. We get him groomed about every other month, or every 3 months. He does get some matts, but our groomer is great at getting his fur under control. I won’t admit to being that good at brushing. Brushing him every other day keeps his matts away for the most part. You can see that Chester is a longer fur shaggy type of Golden Doodle. It does take a lot of brushing to keep him from getting matts. We wanted a pup that was the most hypoallergenic that we could find. Our kids were young and we weren’t sure at the time if they would grow to become allergic to dogs. It’s kind of confusing, but it’s something that we tried to look for when looking for a dog. An F1 doodle is when the parents of that pup were a Golden Retriever and a Poodle. It means that his parents were an F1 doodle and a full bred standard poodle. He is a F1B Golden Doodle, which is the most hypoallergenic Golden Doodle there is, I believe. We do find fur balls around every now and then, mostly under furniture, but not much.Ĭhester is 7 and will be 8 on June 1st. It’s definitely less than other dogs, but it does depend on what type of Golden Doodle it is. And, in my human shedding case…less than a human. It’s true! I would say that Chester sheds about as much as a human. We kept hearing a lot about Golden Doodles and how they don’t shed much because of the mix of poodle in their blood. When we decided to get a dog, we wanted to try to get one that didn’t shed as much as others, if that was possible. He is the absolute cutest! The question that I receive the most about our sweet pup, Chester, is “what kind of dog is Chester?” As you can see in the title of this post, he is a Golden Doodle. I’ve had many requests for a blog post all about Chester and I can see why. ![]()
