Deborah points out the untruths being circulated in the attack on doodles recently in the press after an interview with the creator of the original labradoodle for service who says creating the breed is his life’s regret and described doodles as ‘Frankenstien monsters’ . When his explanations are closely examined, it is obvious he regrets his choice mostly because of the problems that come with mass popularity and unethical breeding as Deborah and Dr. StanCoren agree has happened to almost every breed that became popular too fast. In the interview Mr. Wally Conron states that he attempted to train 33 different standard poodles for service as Seeing Eye dogs and failed!

What do Jennifer Anniston, Tiger Woods, Neil Young, and Deborah Wolfe have in common? They own doodles! They could own any dog in Dogdom but its Doodle they choose!

Deborah Wolfe interviews Stacy Mantle about some of the pet products she has tested and reviewed this year. Plus Deb Wolfe throws in some behavioral advice and training tips for dogs and cats and the topics come up including how to get a two faced, or ‘psycho’ cat who seeks out touch then attacks to enjoy touch and be loving. 

Stacy recommends the best pet brands for food treat choices like ‘The Honest Kitchen ’ for sweet potato and other dehydrated treats and ‘Blueberry Pet’ for not ugly Christmas Sweaters. Chuck-it (the claw toy that allows you to throw balls very far) is still a terrific stocking stuffer for every owner of an active dog, both experts agree. Glow in the dark frisbees work for night play especially in places where it gets dark so early and you and your dog want to go play frisbee after work or school. Happy holidays from Deb Wolfe, and happy pet shopping from Stacy Mantle at Pets Weekly.
