Everyone loves doodles! Whether it’s a Bernedoodle, Goldendoodle, or any other type of
doodle mix, these pups are always ready to play and are such loyal companions. To give you an even deeper appreciation for your furry friends, here are 15 interesting facts about doodles that you may not have known before.
1. The first official Doodle was a Labradoodle bred by Wally Conron in 1989. He was looking to create a hypoallergenic guide dog for a woman whose husband was allergic to dogs. This pup has been dubbed the “Original Doodle."
2. Doodles come in many different shapes and sizes – from standard sized Golden Retrievers to tiny Toy Poodles – giving them an almost limitless variety of looks!
3. Doodles have been around for hundreds of years but only recently have become popular as pets due to their intelligence and loyalty.
4. Doodles are usually very friendly and outgoing with strangers, which makes them great therapy dogs!
5. According to the American Kennel Club (AKC), Doodles are one of the most popular mixed-breed dogs in the United States right now!
6. Some people think that all doodles look alike, but they actually come in many different colors and patterns. They can be black, brown, white, cream, red or even multi-colored!
7. Like many other breeds of dogs, doodles love to play fetch and go on walks with their owners.
8. Some doodle owners believe they make great swimmers since they tend to love water play so much.
9. Because many doodle breeds were created specifically to be hypoallergenic companions for allergy sufferers, they tend to produce less dander than other breeds – making them great pets for homes with allergies or asthma sufferers!
10. Many people think that because doodles are mixed breed dogs they don’t need as much exercise as purebreds – this isn’t true though. All types of dogs need regular exercise no matter their breed type!
11. Just like humans, each individual dog is unique – so while some may be more outgoing than others – no two doodles will ever look or act exactly alike!
12. Since doodle breeds are so varied it can be hard to predict how big your puppy will get as an adult – so make sure you ask your breeder what size you should expect when buying one from them.
13. Doodles may take after either parent breed when it comes to temperament – so while some may act more like retrievers or bernese mountain dogs, others may take on the characteristics of a poodle more closely than others!
14. Doodles tend to enjoy learning new tricks and commands quickly thanks to their intelligence – making them easy trainees when it comes time for obedience classes or agility courses!
15. Doodles need plenty of mental stimulation throughout the day as well as physical activity – if left alone too often these active pups can become bored easily leading them into unwanted behavior such as excessive barking or chewing up furniture or shoes around the house!
There’s a lot more than meets the eye when it comes to owning a Doodle pup - from unique personalities and temperaments, to exercise and grooming needs - these intelligent puppies come with lots of perks but also require plenty of TLC! If you’re considering bringing home one of these adorable pooches make sure you brush up on all things Doodle related beforehand!
