Please watch this video. I have never had an outbreak of kennel cough or any other sickness, I do sanitize my equipment and tables and kennels in between clients. If your pet is sick please keep them home! This is not my video credit to the original poster.
Staying nice and cool inside the home. I hope everyone is staying cool!! Please keep pets inside this week. If your pet is over heating do not cool them down with ice water. luke warm/ cool water works best!
Ethically bred alternatives
Another take on the doodle industry
Some of the unethical side of breeding
Let’s talk ethical breeding! I know some of you may have seen me calling out quite a few backyard breeders lately who are selling their pups on Facebook. I just want to clarify again I do not hate doodles! I have the most fun grooming them. I love every dog that comes through my doors regardless of breed and mixes. I’ll say it louder for those in the back I DO NOT HATE DOODLES JUST THE DOODLE INDUSTRY. No doodle will ever be ethically bred. They are bred for profit and profit alone. A doodle is a mutt/ a mixed breed and not a “designer breed” and not a recognized breed. I know I just pissed off the Doodle community and it’s okay we all need to have this conversation. My job as a pet professional is to educate. Please stick with me before you jump to the comments to comment something without finishing reading the entirety of this.
Breeders use the term “Designer breed” to up sell their mixed dogs and make them marketable. What is the definition of a mutt/ mixed- a quick google search will tell you it’s when you mix 2 or more different breeds. Your doodle is a mix/ mutt and will never be recognized by AKC or any club recognized.
My wolf dog is a mutt. I’ve owned plenty of mutts and love every one of them some of them the best dogs. Also I do not get offended when people call my wolf dog mutt because it’s truth he’s a mixed breed. Doodles will never be Akc acknowledged because there is no standards for breeding and etc. anything mixed with a poodle will never be AKC recognized. I have the most fun with my fancy hairstyles on doodles. Plus they are my kind of crazy off the wall energy dogs. If you find pups for sale on Facebook or Craigslist they are not ethically bred and ethical breeders don’t breed doodles. The video below is a great example of what too look for when looking for a breeder. I’m gunna say this again. I do not hate doodles just the industry they come from. Us groomers and pet care professionals have to deal with the afterm
