Choosing the Right Doodle
Energy & Training
Doodles inherit poodle intelligence. Daily mental work, positive training, and structured activity reduce anxiety and nuisance behaviors.
Health Testing
Responsible breeders screen hips, elbows, eyes, and breed-specific genetic risks. Ask to see OFA or PennHIP certificates.
Nutrition & Care
Balanced, high-quality diets support joint and coat health. Track weight closely—many doodles love food and can gain easily.
