here is my thread where i rant about dogs. but not because i hate dogs, i love dogs, its because i work with dogs so i notice a lot of patterns with owners... lets put it lightly and say they dont always know what theyre doing. i barely interact with owners themselves but i still notice the effects of their neglect on the dogs.
so first things first FUCK golden doodles golden doodles are NOT bad dogs and thats something i hold true for all breeds. many doodles are actually very sweet, lively, and full of energy. but golden doodles are NOT a breed. theyre mutts. theyre a mix between golden retrivers and poodles. theyre just fancy designer mutts that get sold for thousands of dollars. with how many straight up lies get spread around about golden doodles i honestly would argue that the entire golden doodle breeding operation is a scam. but if youre the type of person to willingly buy a golden doodle you probably deserve to get scammed tbh. golden doodles are extremely high maintenance in terms of grooming and due to poor breeding practices they often develop a lot of the allergies and genetic conditions of both of their parent breeds. despite this golden doodles are marketed as low maintenance, or it's all glossed over in favor of all the good things about them. now, how are potential buyers supposed to do research when everything theyre being told is wrong??? ive seen at least 2 doodle owners demand my coworkers and i dont get their dogs wet because it'll "ruin their coat" when even the most bare minimum research will tell you that both parent breeds are water retriever dogs. as in, BRED TO BE IN WATER! if anything golden doodles would be great dogs for hunters but theyre almost exclusively owned by rich people getting their kids a christmas puppy. and you'd think most people willing to spend thousands on a backyard bred freak of nature would have enough money to spare on taking care of the damn thing. but nope, i've had a golden doodle puppy become severely and painfully constipated because his own shit got matted into his ass. last time i saw him though his owners got their shit together and booked him a grooming session, so i bet hearing that their dog was in fucking agony because of their own neglect knocked some sense into them. and it might not seem it at a first glance, but the amount of doodles in shelters is SHOCKING. theyre often neglected and dumped when theyre no longer tiny and cute or when the owner realizes that it's gonna be very expensive to care for them for their whole life. i honestly feel bad for golden doodles because again, theyre usually great dogs, and its not their fault that they were bred by inexperienced, unqualified, unethical, greedy backyard breeders. but would i ever own one?? hell no! not unless the thing was disabled and about to be put down for no good reason or something. unlike some dog owners im actually cognitive of the fact that dogs are a 10 year at minimum commitment and that you should actually do research if youre getting a specific breed so you know if it fits or not. and yeah, my poor ass living in a trailer park making less than what people pay for my services?? i'll pass on those little brown cotton balls.
oh, and if you own a golden doodle: take care of it. im watching you
