I use it sparingly but it makes my boys fur so soft and I have yet to have mats. I don't brush him very often.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9206088861775517465.post-89182780627154789252014-06-16T15:29:59.375-05:002014-06-16T15:29:59.375-05:00I do get my Goldendoodle cut (not shaved!) just b...I do get my Goldendoodle cut (not shaved!) just before the 4th of July each year The only reason I do it is because we live on a lake during the summer and he lives in the water. It takes forever for him to dry off and he does get a bit stinky. Otherwise he just gets a bath and a trim the rest of the year. I like the longer hair too and I know he does as well - He always seems sad when he gets a summer cut. Basically he gets the summer cut for my sake not his!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9206088861775517465.post-64518405175926725662014-05-25T19:41:05.286-05:002014-05-25T19:41:05.286-05:00 I took my 7 month old goldendoodle Maddie to groo... I took my 7 month old goldendoodle Maddie to groomer yesterday and had her shaved down for summer. I thought I was doing the right thing, 90 dollars later I was so shocked. She looks exactly like a poodle. Everyone used to say she is so cute she looks just like a teddy bear. I wish I would have read your comments yesterday. I know I will never have her shaved like this again. I hope it grows back to her original look.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9206088861775517465.post-15763471066948475442014-05-04T10:03:57.115-05:002014-05-04T10:03:57.115-05:00Our mini Golden Doodle, Ranger, is 8 mos. old. I ...Our mini Golden Doodle, Ranger, is 8 mos. old. I swear the dog in your pics is my dog, they look that much alike. Oh, and your "tongue" comments......well, we just share too much in common, here.<br />We, too, are getting him groomed for the first time this Tuesday & I'm on the internet trying to find a decent pic to take to the groomer----and I'M SCARED! He's so absolutely adorable right now & I don't want him to come out looking like a poodle.<br />I'm so glad I just read your blog. After reading, I'm not going to get as much trimmed/cut off of him. Knowing that his fur makes him no hotter than anyone else is good to know. We did keep up with his brushing better when his fur was shorter, though, and his underside has some matting on him so I do think a trip to the groomer is in order, regardless. He does get regular baths at home----I think I need to get a better shampoo that provides a bit more conditioning as I think that will help us at home with the matting issues going forward. <br />Regarding his upcoming trip to the groomer, I just don't want to change his appearance so much so that he doesn't look like our Ranger any more.

We do brush her daily and her hair is light and airy so there should be no reason to shave her down! We'll do the under belly and a good trimming :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00856138958673389693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9206088861775517465.post-85348384867968644082013-09-10T10:56:46.941-05:002013-09-10T10:56:46.941-05:00This is great!

Thanks for your advice and hilarious account of the conversation. We also have hardwoods, so did the foot hair trim help with the sliding? Don't get me wrong, we love watching him literally fall all over himself, but if it helps the little guy out, we'd be willing to deal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9206088861775517465.post-58465353411931579962013-07-05T21:17:23.069-05:002013-07-05T21:17:23.069-05:00Thank you for this article.

But then, neither do I! My mom has Aussies and always shaves them in the summer and they seem to love it. Dad's a vet and insists it won't hurt her, but lots of Border Collie people get all up in arms about shaving them. All I know is, girlfriend has A LOT of hair! I keep her pretty brushed, but sheesh. I've been thinking of just having her stomach done, so it's good to know that they will actually do that.<br /><br />Sorry for the crazy long comment! Your Bei Bei is a doll and I keep telling my husband that I want our next dog to be a Golden Doodle -- he's not yet convinced, sadly. Maybe they should meet :)Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746777760318892646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9206088861775517465.post-31687832343689258002010-06-21T10:42:39.909-05:002010-06-21T10:42:39.909-05:00What a beauty!
