Brodie brings a lot of joy and happiness to that family. He is also an integral part of his business. Pretty much the definition of a perfect working dog.
A lot of the issue people have with all doodles in general is that because of their rapid rise in popularity, many breeders use cruel methods to produce as many as possible as fast as possible without putting the necessary time and care into it.
I don't know how it is in other states, but where I work in texas we see a ton of them since their rise in demand, and people here do not train them. They just get them because they're cute and people don't realize they can actually have really bad personalities. Had one the other day try to rip our hands off just for touching it. Owner was playing the "he won't bite you" card while we have his crazy dog in the back with a muzzle because we can't do anything with it. It bit 2 of us
My akc master certificate hunter black lab has some puppies around the time that the doodles came around, and I couldn't sell them for more than 150 bucks. The vet charges for the pups were hafe of that. The puppies were probably worth 600 dollars
@@MichellesdesignsEtcyou can be companions with any breed of dog lol its def unethical to create a whole breed cuz it looks cute. Atleast they dont have the health problems pugs have
Groomers hate goldendoodles because most owners don't brush them since they "don't shed" so they're brought in severely matted. When they're so matted, they are required to be shaved down which pisses off the owner who didn't brush them enough in the first place. Please brush them like he does with Brody!!
According to a friend I have that's a dog groomer, since doodles, golden or otherwise, are bred between dogs with incompatible coat types sometimes there's really no caring for the coat properly other than shaving it off(and depending on the mix &particular genetics of the dog, that can also result in spots of alopecia). There's nothing wrong with mutts, imo, there is something wrong with purpose breeding mutts for money while claiming they're magical super breeds.
I was just coming to the comments to say this. And it’s not so much that we hate the doodle. It’s the entitled owners and the greeders we dislike the most. I like a well kept doodle. But the way they always try to be Eeyor when you get to the face is pretty annoying though
Exactly. That's why Brodie always looks immaculate. People want a long-haired dog or cat, but they don't want to put forth the work of daily maintenance. It disgusts me when I see people with similar dog types and they never bathe or groom the poor animal. Grooming takes time, and yes, it can be costly, but that's why people need to do responsible research before selecting any breed of dog or cat. Matting is painful to the animal and makes work difficult for the groomer.
It’s not always on the owner. My family has a labradoodle and we spent our first few years with him brushing him everyday only for him to inevitably get mats and need to be shaved. Now we just have him get regular puppy cuts since we can’t spend enough time on his coat each day to prevent him from getting mats.
@@frigidowl6492 It's 100% okay to get the hair cuts on them anyways since there may not be enough time for brushing. BUT, they DO require that extra amount of brushing that shorter haired dogs do not require. However, since the dog cannot brush itself so it IS on the owner to do their research on exactly how much extra work that long haired dog will be. Certain spots on dogs do tend to matte easier like on their buttfluff or behind their ears but the more you know, the better you can brush them!
My only problem with mix breeds or people who keep breeding them is that they end up more in the shelter or this happen a ton a lot in the past where they stop breeding a certain breed and they go extinct but goldendoodle are amazing dogs so anyone lucky to have one
I had a golden doodle growing up and he was the fucking best goddamn dog ever! Super sweet and just wanted to come with us. He was a companion dog and perfect fit for it
me too.My goldendoodle hes dumb and he has more rizz than me. 5 GIRLFREINDS BRUH. and i dont even got a single boy. hes the best. me made my famlily much happier.
Brodie is such a terrific pup. Not only is he Cliff’s best friend but he brings happiness and smiles to everyone he meets, especially the kids who are in the hospital. He and his dad are great ambassadors. Don’t forget mom, Luna, Cliff’s other fur baby. You’ve got great kids and they have a great dad. 🦮💜🦮♥️
@@yvnginfinityno dog is hypoallergenic, but well-bred poodles and dogs with hair are better for those with allergies. When you are mixing a thick double coat with a curly hair coat, you are creating an unpredictable-often dense-coat that is absolutely not allergy free or even low. Mutts don’t breed true like purebreds, so it’s a gamble. You might get a doodle that sheds a lot or one that doesn’t at all. In the end? Just get a poodle 🐩
honestly, it's more impressive to have an actual trusting relationship with your dog than for it to be able to do super complex tricks, herd animals, etc.
I have a wonderful mutt- a rescue jack russell terrier mix. He has kept me company for the last 12 years which have been my loneliest. He sits or stands quietly by my side and nuzzles me when he can sense that I’m blue. I don’t have one friend who can do that - they have their own lives and should not be bothered 😕 So I completely understand you and Brodie- not as the magical super star but as your best friend. Enjoy each other’s company ❤
Brodie is truly a national treasure , spreading love , licks and goodwill everywhere he goes . I can be having a bad day , watch Brodie's videos and he is like my own therapy dog 😂
Brodie and Luna are here for a purpose. they are her to make peoples days and give ppl a reason to be happy. They are such a blessing to everyones lives. They go to hospital and childrens hospital and they cheer up the people who need them most. THATS their purpose.
Yes!!! I love my goldendoodle 🥹 literally the sweetest most loving snuggly boy ever. So smart and easy to train!! I probably will never get another breed.
As someone who works with animals every golden doodle I've ran into are awesome in personality but not so much with health issues. Doodles particularly have really horrible skin. Just be careful when you get one from a breeder.
They’re the biggest offenders of backyard “greeders” and often have out of control temperaments. They’re not an actual breed either. They can be great adorable dogs too obviously
Brodie is so adorable and smart. How dare anyone say anything about Goldendoodles. They are Awesome ❤. Both of you have made my day better so many times. Thank you
My black lab is a good will ambassador also! Except for today while we were recycling he greeted this lady and she screamed I tried to re assure her that he means no harm. He just likes to greet people!! Not a vicious bone in his body 👅
My doodle is my lovey, lol she herds, retrieves,guards and entertains the heck out of me. Love her to pieces and so does anyone else who comes into contact with her. Best dog in the world….❤️❤️❤️
I'm absolutely in agreement. I want a dog to love me and I will love back. Like my constant companion. Is not gonna bitch and gripe. Just want to love them and care for them. Brodie is just the best ❣️
There are purebred, well bred dog breeds that are bred for companionship. Brody is just another mixed bred mutt with poor genetics. Backyard breeders just use this argument to sell more puppies which only add to the shelter population because they aren't regulated how working and show dogs are.
I have an Aussie Mountain Doodle. She's six months old and excitement is continuous with her but she's such a smart and sweet pup too. Shedding is so little it isn't worth mentioning but that doesn't mean you don't have to comb them several times per week or they matty up quick.
It’s nothing to take personally- the problem is just the fact that with the dog comes many issues. The backyard breeding, and the misconceptions. They aren’t hypoallergenic. You take a shedding dog and mix it with a curly hair coated dog, the dander and stuff is still there. And also breeding a short haired shedding coat with a curly hair coated dog is a matter disaster waiting to happen 😭 and it makes it even worse because a lot of people who don’t know these things adopt these doodle breeds because they’re cute and stuff, and they end up matted, or badly behaved because people can’t seem to get that it’s still has the temperaments of retrievers and poodles they need to accommodate for. I work with dogs and so many of the “doodle” breeds are so misbehaved because people just buy their cute lil doodle dogs and just don’t put in the work… if you can put in the work of brushing your dog regularly and give basic training AND get your dog from a credible breeder there is no problem with having a doodle breed. But in the end all of that goes with any dog breed but it’s even worse because of how insanely popular doodles are right now. It’s so sad to see how these dogs are ending up because I’ve met a ton of sweet doodles who are super sweet but their coat is tremendous, or their coat is fantastic but they are so bad 😭 it’s so sad… this is all coming from personal experience working with them every day. (I work at a dog daycare, with groomers and it’s really sad seeing this stuff- these poor dogs 😕) I just ranted so I don’t even know if what I said made sense lol aw well. Hope it did.
We normally just shave our doodle because he enjoy’s have little journeys into our creek and pool so he needs brushing consistent brushing when we grow out his fur in like November and December. He is also very protective of his toys and he has a habit of biting kids (btw we never knew it was a problem because he like never shows aggression) so I’ve been training him almost everyday in just general training, sit, stay, heel, paw, lay down, and leave it, but I’ve also been just doing some minor agaility training and he’s done really well at it. I think golden doodles can be trained very well if the owner is willing to put that effort in, same goes for the brushing. (I’m just yapping lol)
That is the first time I’ve heard Brodie bark! He is an awesome dog and would protect his owner with his life. Just cuz he is super cute doesn’t mean he is useless
People hate others that own golden doodles because they do not care about their maintenance. This gentleman right here is the right example on why some people deserve to own one. He takes good care of his pup and gets him groomed professionally by a pet stylist while others will let them become extremely matted and abused. Mad respect for him and his pup.
Yes this is exactly is brody is one of the only golden doodles i have ever seen someone take proper care of with maintenance, training, and exercise. The rest are horribly matted and they cause so many incidents with other dogs because people don’t expect them to be high energy and intelligent like they didnt just breed a golden and a poodle. They buy them purely on looks and neglect them its sad
Then there are the fly by night opportunistic breeders who just want more puppies as quickly as possible so they are not breeding for health and longevity. They're just taking a poodle and some other dog and breeding them. Of course there are responsible breeders but even they cannot say with any certainly what traits they will end up with. Labradoodles, will they get the lab hip displagia or luxating patella. While poodles dont shed its hard to say as a puppy what their coat is going to end up being. They could end up with the Labrador coat which sheds like no tomorrow you don't know until you take them home. Personally, i think in the coming years we're going to see an lots of doodles in rescue because they didnt turn out how the owner envisioned. Hell, we may already be seeing it. Over the last few years i haven't been as tuned into the rescue world as i usually have been. They are kind of a genetic roulette as far as what you're going to get. You can breed the same golden and the same poodle and end up with a dog that got both dogs negative traits and temperament or one that is perfect. That is why I'm still not sold on them. It has nothing to do with them needing to be bred with a purpose but, bred with no consideration. Then you have the question of course how second and third generaions will be classified?
@@Ali_D_Katt thank you, I get this guys loves his dog but he completely addressed this wrong. The standard about ethical breeding is “dogs should only be bred for the betterment of the breed”. It’s not just about them having a job it’s about them being healthier and living longer, happier lives. A lot of these people want mixes because they’re cute meanwhile you’re breeding health and behavioral issues into the dogs and on top of that they don’t know how to properly care for them which is what many owners of doodles do.
@@devinxoxo8350 he does take fantastic care of his dog but even his point about just wanting a snuggly, loving, companion animal is a moot point. Since they can't breed them with any certainty about temperament. Will their temperament of the higher energy, higher latent intelligence (which can be trouble if not properly channeled/engaged/redirected), task oriented, goal motivated, higher pray driven poodles or the goofy, bouncy, never met a stranger, cool on the couch with the fam or in the bush hunting golden or lab who stay in the silly puppy phase longer than a poodle? No one can say. I just think he needs to be careful about promoting them as one thing for definitely sure. I have a half Black labradore retriever that I'm 99.9% certain is also half walker treeing coon hound. I love her very much her temperament is mostly lab but she has that damn houndy nose that gets her into trouble, a neurotic urge to bark, a proclivity to get on a scent and wander off, and due to her first year of life being on the streets doesn't love strangers. That's an erratic mix of traits lol luckily I was prepared for whatever but someone expecting lab only might not be.
Cliff has said half of what is important. Yes, the companionship. The other half is that the owner has to love and protect their dog throughout its life, and they both need and deserve the unconditional love, friendship and support they give to each other. Brodie is perfect for Cliff, and Cliff is perfect for Brodie. It is wonderful that they both share the experience with everyone they meet.
@@alexw.7097 No, the main issue with Doodles is that the vast majority is backyard bred. This means that those who bred them did not select their parents for good health and temperament. There is a reason that Doodles have such a bad reputation among veteranarians and groomers - and it is not all because of bad owners. That is statistically impossible. Moreover, the breeders producing Doodles tend to be doing so in a puppy mill format. I would never buy a Doodle mix for these reasons. I may adopt depending on the individual dog.
@@raerohan4241 I did say "most," I absolutely agree though, the byb aspect is also definitely a factor in why doodles are generally disliked in the dog care community. However, I would also partly count "buying from bybs/puppy mills" as owners having no idea what they're doing. If you're going to bother spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on *buying* a puppy, the least they could do is vet their "breeders." Encouraging bybs and irresponsible breeding is one of the worst parts of breeds becoming popular, it's mostly the poor dogs that suffer in the end.
That dog gorgeous, very loving. I have a 2 yr old standard poodle 🐩 the most gentlest, loving & intelligent dog I’ve had. His default mentality is to see every other dog as a potential friend and every human as someone to play with.
Brodie was created for a purpose....a much higher purpose that he is fulfilling. Thank you Cliff for all it takes to bring Brodie and Luna to us. You have made this world a better place. Brodie, Luna and you are the definition of love and compassion . They joy and warm you share and the smiles on the little children's faces brings hope.
Absolutely correct. Companionship! True unadulterated LOVE. I can have a really bad day and he’s there to uplift my soul when it feels crushed! My G’doodle Combat is my life saver (USMC Ret). Love watching you and Brodie, thank you both. 🙏🏽
Apart from being the most adorable dog I have seen Brodie does serve a purpose look at all the smiles and joy he gives to everyone especially the children’s hospitals he’s amazing❤
My golden doodle is amazing she really is the best dog for just laying around or playing at the park !!! also she loves kids !! Couldn’t ask for a better dog !! ❤❤❤
Golden doodles are a popular choice for therapy dogs as they the energy of a retriever and the intelligence of the poodle. Without ANY TRAINING my doodle noticed my mom getting dizzy from being in the summer sun and coaxed her to the couch. She even laid her paws across mom’s lap to keep her from escaping. A technique used by the therapy dogs when their owners are having an episode.
Dogs are better than any antidepressant. They come with an endless supply of totally unconditional love. They don’t care if your hair is a mess or if you have bad breath. On the contrary, they seem to find bad breath more appealing. They’re goofy and sweet and look out for you. That’s their “job”.
My previous doggy pulled me out of deleting myself, he's gone to old age now but our new puppy keeps me smiling to keep my promise to my previous doggy how I would never go back to that desolate idea.
The main argument I've heard against Golden Doodles isn't about them "not having a purpose". It's because Golden Doodles are the poster child for backyard-bred dogs, since puppies can sell for so much. So you end up with an entire "breed" of dogs that have horrid health and/or temperament because they weren't bred with these things in mind - of course they're going to develop a reputation for being difficult dogs. You may not see it that way, but you got very, _very_ lucky with Brodie.
Exactly. Plenty of breeds were bred to be companions and not ratters, herders, etc. The problem with doodles is, as you said, they're common byb and puppy mill dogs. Often they're a combo of a poodle and another high energy dog but they attract people who are more concerned with having a designer dog than a well trained dog who fits their lifestyle but maybe isn't trendy. Add that in with the poor breeding you get with bybs and it's a recipe for dogs that aren't exactly well behaved. I live near Lancaster, PA and the doodle craze has led to just so many mediocre experiences with them.
@@batkat0 I know when he said that he wants a dog for companionship and not bred for a purpose I was like, “ah, so you’d don’t understand the argument.” Breeding for companionship IS a purpose. There are tons of traits that we can select for that will produce better companions.
I foocking love it and it’s so true when looking for dog you want companionship and loyalty. I’ve been watching you and Brodie for the past year and a half, love seeing the growth.
Exactly, Brodie has literally made so many people smile and laugh. The bond he and his dad have is beautiful. I say all types of animals have purpose, they are pure, loving souls. ❤
As a vet student/someone who has talked with a lot of pet care professionals AND the owner of a Bernedoodle, first of all we don’t hate goldendoodles or any doodle breed. We hate the way humans have turned them into the next trendy thing. They’re not just cute dogs, they’re a lot of work and can have some pretty serious health problems if not bred properly which due to the demand they rarely are. We love all dogs! Just unfortunate that outside influences have created some negative perceptions about the breed.
Exactly. Most of the people selling Doodles are backyard breeders with puppy mills. Could there be some responsible breeders out there? Sure. But since it's not an official breed, there is no sort of proper oversight for their breeders. If I desperately wanted a Doodle, I would never buy one, only adopt. And even then, it would be based on what the actual individual dog was like.
no thanks! i will continue to buy from ethical breeders, if anything we should address the real problem of backyard breeders! the people that create these genetic dumpster fires causing them to go into shelters
@@v4leriescool There’s no ethical breeding anymore unless you’re breeding for a specific life saving dog- protection/ an actual service animal. And you my friend don’t have an actual service dog. Anything can be an ESA.
The purpose that is very needed, especially in today's world, is to share and express love. That's what Brodie and other doodles do. Emotional support is a purpose.
Purebreds can be bred for companionship… that is a purpose and there are tons of traits that one can select for to improve their role in fulfilling that purpose… the guy in the video just doesn’t understand the argument or is intentionally lying about it.
How terribly disappointing that he hasn’t bothered to educate himself on the real reason that any Doodle, not just a Goldendoodle, is “hated.” And the “hate” is not for any dog, the hate is for the massive amount of dogs that have had to die since the Doodle craze happened. If he had bothered to do any research at all, he would know that the person that started the Doodle has publicly said on multiple occasions that he deeply regrets it. Doodles are a mixed breed of dog. Which is fine. Mixed breeds are wonderful dogs. BUT they are sold as “designer” dogs and as most of us know, there are far too many people ready to jump on the bandwagon to own the latest trend. And since the inception of Doodles, shelters have been overrun with them. Irreputable people breed them to make money, with no concern for the future of the puppies or any potential health issues, because they are greedy and only want to make money. They are sold as hypoallergenic which is a crock. First of all, a “hypoallergenic” dog doesn’t truly exist. There ARE breeds that are far more less likely to aggravate allergies. Poodles being one of them. On the other hand, a Doodle can just as easily take on the traits of the non-Poodle dog it is bred with. If he really wanted to know about how many Doodles are euthanized a year, a simple search or an honest conversation with rescue groups or shelters might go a long way in letting him know the actual truth, which has very little to do with whether or not his dog has a job. Of all the millions and millions of Doodles, how many look like Brodie? Probably very few, because with a mix of breeds, it’s a crap shoot on what you will get. Think how many people have gone out and bought a Golden Doodle thinking they’re going to get a dog that looks and/or acts like Brodie? How many do you think get a dog even close? And how many didn’t end up keeping the dog because it didn’t end up being what they thought and were disappointed. I think Brodie is super cute and is clearly loved. But the fact that his owner spews incorrect facts, clearly with no research or real idea of why the Doodle trend has resulted in the euthanization of countless dogs that end up in shelters is so discouraging.
100% agree. He clearly is speaking on an issue that he has no clue about. And really, if he wanted a dog that was bred for companionship a doodle is not that dog. No part of his argument holds up. Just get a golden.
@@bridgettdiaz3550 they man who made the original doodle has come out and said he regrets making it because of how mistreated the dogs are. I dont think they weren’t bred for companionship, that was indeed one of the reasons they were bred but there are simply better dogs for companionship. Get a pure bred good line golden retriever or a lab if you want a companion dog. If you need a smaller one a Maltese or King Charles cavileer are great choices too. Doodles are just too unpredictable in their temperament to be a reliable companion dog. I dog sit for a living and almost all of my problem dogs in terms of a mean attitude are doodles. The poodle part of them can make them extremely reactive and just a grumpy dog. Nothing is wrong with a grumpy dog, but if you are labeling, a dog, like people have label doodles, as a companion or family, friendly dog, it is dangerous to label them like that. Overall, in the other brief, I mentioned you will have a better temperament, then with a doodle. There are just so many misconceptions around these dogs. They require a lot of training and a lot of care that families do not take into account. Honestly, the amount of care that they require could be a reason that they would not make a good companion dog.
Quien puede odiar a una criatura tan hermoso y lleno de tanto amor....es un angelito que llena de alegría la vida de quienes lo conocen....Dios los bendiga chicos!!!!
Golden doodles, being bred from two retriever breeds, ARE retrievers. They retrieve your happiness if you lose it, and they bring it right back into your life.
Golden doodles are bred for the purpose of combining both the purposes of the golden and the poodle. A hypoallergenic, little to no shedding friendly family dog.
I love that Brodie is wearing headphones. I have a rescue beagle/bassett. I'm sure he was bred for extra stubbornness and attitude and I love every bit of it.
I love Goldendoodles. I have a Luna. Smartest dog I’ve EVER owned. Such a good girl. Our bond is unbreakable. 💝 (Coming from a small dog person who didn’t initially want a big dog.)
