Doodles come from breeds that tend to be smart, athletic and love to have a job. Dog sports like obedience, rally, tracking, agility are great ways to harness their energy. In this episode I interview two doodle owners whose dogs have won titles and who regularly compete and train. Get inspired by cool things their labradoodles and aussiedoodles are involved in!
\n\nAre fearful dogs made or born that way?
\nThis is one of the questions we dive into in this episode with Veterinary Behaviorist, Dr. Lisa Radosta where we discuss fearful dogs.

Because goldendoodles, labradoodles and many other -oodles are so popular, it's important to know what to look for when trying to choose a responsible doodle breeder. This is both for your sake--so you have a healthy doodle with a stable temperament--and for the sake of the dogs being bred. It's not enough to simply go with a breeder a friend said is "good." You need to have concrete facts to go on. In this episode, I discuss what those important facts are so you can ask the right questions to find the right breeder for you and make sure you're not shelling out thousands of dollars to a breeder who is not meeting high standards.
\n\nCorrection: In the episode I incorrectly stated the term "puppy lemon laws" when I was referring to state laws concerning minimum age for sale of puppies. Puppy lemon laws have to do with not selling a puppy that's "defective" for lack of a better term and each state has different rules. According to the AKC, "In New Jersey, for instance, the buyer has 14 days to return a puppy deemed “unfit for purchase” by a veterinarian, and six months to return a dog with a hereditary or genetic defect."

While there are many innate temperament traits (nature), we can't discount how a puppy is raised (nurture). 3/4 of the puppy raising job belongs to the breeder and 1/4 of this job belongs to us, the puppy owners. The first 12 weeks of a puppy's life make a lasting impact. It is the critical socialization period that can support a dog toward being a well adjusted and resilient doggy citizen or lead them to be fearful or a bully of a dog.
\n\nBecause it's a team effort, choosing a responsible breeder is crucial and at least as important as understanding what to do once puppy comes home.
\n\nOur guest, Jane Killion, is a breeder of bull terriers and creator of Puppy Culture: an educational film and program on exactly how to raise puppies during their first 12 weeks. In today's episode you will learn:

Puppy Mills only care about producing product. They will "produce" whatever breed or mix is popular and sells. This includes any type of doodle: labradoodles, goldendoodles, bernedoodles, and even Australian labradoodles. So it is absolutely critical that you learn how to spot a potential puppy mill or just a breeder that isn't doing things up to par.
\n\nWhen journalist Rory Kress realized her own dog came from a puppy mill, she decided to investigate further. With the information she learned she wrote the book: The Doggie in the Window, to expose the truth about puppy mills and the structures and systems that support them. For example, did you know that it's totally legal to breed littermates or parent to offspring!?
\n\nIn this episode we discuss some of her findings like how the rise of factory farming has contributed and the role of the USDA. There's a lot to learn!

One of the breeds at highest risk for developing cancer is the hugely popular Golden Retriever. About 60 percent of all Golden Retrievers will die from cancer – 57 percent of females and 66 percent of males. The two most common types of cancer in this breed are hemangiosarcoma and lymphoma.
\n\nWhy is this relevant to doodle owners? Whatever is common in a golden retriever can be an issue for a goldendoodle. Sadly, a number of our Doodle Kisses members have lost goldendoodles to cancer.
\n\nOur guest is Dr Kelly Diehl, senior director of science & communication for the Morris Animal Foundation, which is the organization currently conducting The Golden Retriever Lifetime Study. The Golden Retriever Lifetime Study is a $32 Million study, an amazing comprehensive study of GR's through their lifetime. This study is collecting a huge amount of data on GRs: spay/neuter ages, swimming and water temp, how dog was obtained, health conditions, pedigree, exposure to certain environments/chemicals and more! The information collected will hopefully provide a ton of clues into cancer and other health issues that are common to Golden retrievers.

Kids & dogs provide some of the cutest moments. But the combo can also be a major liability.
\n\nFor this episode we are discussing doodles & kids with DK member Karen. It's not really a "fun" episode because it's more of a warning on what to watch out for so that your doodle doesn't get displaced.
\n\nKids are actually a huge risk factor for dogs and, as Karen mentions on the show, families with kids are the most likely to end up rehoming their doodle. Not because kids or doodles are inherently bad, but because when these two wonderful beings are combined, if you are not prepared a lot can go wrong.
\n\nIf you are new to dogs, new to doodles, or are considering a doodle AND you have or might have kids in the future, this is an important episode to listen to find out how to keep both your kids and dogs safe!

Doodles are often sought out because they are marketed as confident, friendly and mild mannered dogs--who also don't shed. However, because doodles are a mixed breed, these characteristics can't be guaranteed. And many other breeds and mixes can be excellent therapy dogs.

Puppies are wiggly, wobbly, and make us want to swoon at their cuteness. They all look perfect when you're looking with your heart. How do you know if you're getting a puppy with good structure that will be a healthy dog in the future?
\n⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
\nWell a lot depends on the breeder having a good understanding of structure and selecting a sound dog in the first place.
How a dog is built, it's physical structure, can impact its health and the types of activities it is suited for. This includes the shape of the chest, shoulders, back, neck, legs and joints, how it holds itself up, how it moves, how it sits, etc.
\n\nIn this episode I interview renowned structure & conformation expert, Pat Hastings, who has judged many dog shows, written/taught on the topic of structure and consults breeders, including some Australian labradoodle breeders, on puppy selection. We also discuss:

\nsamples to NCSU CVM (pre-paid shipping). Owners will also be required to complete a
\nbrief online questionnaire at the time of sample collection.
STUDY BENEFITS (FREE OF CHARGE TO PARTICIPANTS)
\n• Free fecal floatation to examine for parasites
\n• All study materials, including shipping, will be covered by the study
\n• Participation will provide additional information about epilepsy that may help your dog
\nor other animals in the future
INCLUSION CRITERIA -
\n• Households must have one dog with epilepsy and one unaffected dog
\n• Epileptic dog must have presumptive diagnosis of idiopathic epilepsy based on seizure
\nonset between 6 months and 6 years of age, and not be on seizure medication or be on
\nphenobarbital alone
\n• Both dogs must not be on any other medications aside from monthly preventatives
\n• Dogs must be fed the same diet
