We have a Mini Schnauzer that is so funny. If she is lying in my wifes lap, which is where she usually is at, she just wants to lay there and not be bothered but if she is in my lap she wants me to lay her on her back and rub her belly. My wife can try it and she will jump down out of her lap and huff at her. 
I have a F2b male Goldendoodle and a F1b female Goldendoodle.........there is seven weeks between them.....they are above average in trainability........don't believe the, "don't shed" bull crap......mine are about 31/2 yrs old and I am still vacuuming hair.......my male was house broke in less than a week........I got up every night a couple of times with the female....for maybe a year......they are all different..........I didn't realize the grooming aspect for Doodles.....after three years of clipping them every four weeks I understand completely now..........
The best thing we ever done was to get our puppy a friend.....there is 71/2weeks between them........I was walking the first puppy 4-5 miles a day and he wanted to play fetch as soon as we got home.......best and smartest thing we ever did......we are empty nesters and the dogs changed things around here.....
She's been watching too much Monkey Dodo on Facebook.......they only show the fun stuff with their monkeys.......they don't show them getting out of the cage and destroying the house.......even a tiny monkey can take your finger off in the blink of an eye.......
ain’t that the damn truth
AND she still thinks...i need to be called over to physically watch the monkey porn WITH her - cause - EVERYONE loves that scene ....
good glory
ain’t nobody got TIME for that
i’m thinking about touching the THIRD RAIL and tell her i have shared all the details of her chimp lust WITH my Catspaws associates—- AND EVERYONE agrees it’s a wildly dangerous and wreck less decision
more on that later
i’m wondering what other life decisions i can outsource here now maaaan
On Day 2 with #2. She's a little lightening bolt. Keeps trying to bite #1's peepee and he has no idea how to deal with her. No idea what she is yet but looks like a little short and stocky. Gray coat, white belly and mark on her face and overall a hint of brown. Will try to post a picture later.
We have a Golden Doodle who is a little over a year old. He is a great dog. Really needy and wants affection, but well behaved and great around our kids. I am sure he will tame a bit once he is fixed.
This was our first time with this breed as well. Our beloved chocolate lab passed at 13 in 2019...Father's day, right in middle of early COVID stages...sucked.

Based on the physical description coupled with the mauling of the peepee, I think you got yourself a pitbull mix. Congrats!
Doodles are great because they don't shed, but the other side of the coin is you have to brush the dead hair out of their coats.
Mine really don’t shed at all either. The older larger one did begin minimally shedding when I put her on an arthritis med last year but that has kinda lessened over time. As you said, nothing like other breeds tho. Not even close.
The extensive grooming thing with them is legit tho. I have a place that bathes them every week and a groomer that comes over every 4-6 weeks. Their curly hair gets tangled and nasty if they aren’t groomed on a regular schedule.
Yeah, we actually took ours in today. Definitely a costly part of ownership. With our lab I went outside with a hose and some soap
Kind of depends if the curly poodle hair is more dominant. Mine has wavy hair, rather than curls, and it is really very easy to manage. Not much work at all. We keep it relatively short in the hot months.
My Fb2 Goldendoodle male is turning from black to silver..........he was three last August.......he has really wavy, soft hair.......they say they stop losing puppy hair at three..........my F1b Goldendoodle female is a dozen shades from light beige to red....she has real coarse hair that it is hard to get through if she goes 4-6 weeks without being clipped....she was three last October.......she gets in the swimming pool and when she gets out she shakes a couple of times and is almost dry......it is hard as hell to bathe her.......it's that water dog hair......these are the first dogs to live in the house with us.......I understand they don't shed like normal......but they do she(d).......I was thinking the puff balls of hair every day would end.......it hasn't............I have had dogs that shed. You are constantly vacuuming. My golden doodle loses his hair, but it is nothing like the dogs I used to have. Heck, look around my bathroom and see who “sheds.”
when I typed the word shed my fingers said, "she"........
...............I feel your pain brother.......
That will be an active little critter. Better be prepared for a couple walks a day.
They say a good dog is a tired dog. I had a boxer (now deceased). We walked an hour to two hours every day. She loved it and it was healthy for me. Also a walk is a great way to bond with a dog. It serves as part of "the hunt" to them.

The bane of my existence. The two-headed canine Anti-Christ.
The disdain for me leaps of the screen. They give no f***s...

Don't mistake malice for guilt.
Those two are constantly picking at each other. One Saturday a while back, one of them found a plastic strawberry in the backyard (guess it blew off of a wreath etc.) I can't remember who brought it in, but the battle over ownership lasted half the afternoon. Over a PLASTIC strawberry.
Olive prevailed...

It’s not about being a tough guy buddy, it’s about not adopting your animal for a inbred with medical issues only making that market stronger to inbreed
Learn how to read renob, trashing breeding styles just so suburban's can have a dog that doesnt shed is weak.
Maybe you should do some research before you talk. You seriously sound silly. I read your comments and yeah you are taking a stab at me and the breed too.
I've bought dogs from pounds, pure breeds, cross breeds, etc. They all have health issues. I lost a lab to cancer. Lost a golden to a rare bladder cancer. Had to put down a dog from a pound due to aggression. GD's average lifespan is as long as most all other breeds and longer than some.
Our GD so far is great with our children, not aggressive and just a bit needy. Yeah, he doesn't shed, that's a plus...not gonna lie but certainly isn't "why" we bought him.
Pretty dogs.Meet Monkey and Olive...

Well never heard a doodle described as “smart” breed. Pretty dogs that are good family pets.
my sister has one that may rival her kids for her love and she describes him as “smart enough”.
