New Puppies

First, we picked up Lola, a chocolate colored Golden Doodle, and 9 days ago, we picked up Abby, a tan Golden Doodle. Lola is now 16 weeks old and weighs 28 pounds. Abby is 9 weeks old and weighs 10 pounds. Even though we have dozens of toys for them, they insist on fighting over the one the other one has. And two food dishes - forget it - they insist on eating out of the same dish at the same time. We're continually playing referee.

My German Shepard, Mooney, loves them

OK now I am really jealous!

What an incredible family you've created! How many dogs do you intend to get?

It kills me that I cannot get a dog - the apartment building I rent from does not allow them. Otherwise, I would have been at SPCA tomorrow morning. Love dogs. One can never get enough of their company!

Cute dogs! Is Mooney a small German Shepard or is it just the photo?

Mooney weighs in at around 100 pounds. When his hair goes up, it looks like he weighs 175. So now we have a total of three dogs. Lola and Abby should reach about 65-70 pounds each. Also have 5 cats, one lizard and lots of fish. I put out 8 dishes for them every morning, plus feed the fish and throw a cricket to the lizard (Lizzy). I had two African Monk parrots, but they both passed away last year. Rocky (one of the parrots) used to talk and laugh non-stop.

I have always had my heart set on getting a golden lab. After seeing Mooney i may be changing my mind. Absolutely adorable

I've always had German Shepards, but once we got Payge, we were hooked on Golden Doodles.

Nice Pics! I should put up our new addition here too - English Bulldog (complements the already massive Saint Bernard)

What's the lifespan range of a Doodle?

Golden Doodles are expected to have a lifespan of 15 years.
So where are your pictures of the English Bulldog and Saint Bernard?
