If you've ever been judged in a comment section, at the dog park, or by a trainer for choosing a Doodle, this episode is for you. 

I dig into the most common criticisms of Doodles and do something most people in those conversations don't do: I actually engage with them. I explain what the critics get right, where their arguments fall apart, and why the science behind your Doodle's intelligence, sensitivity, and drive is exactly the reason Doodle-specific training matters. 

You'll also hear about my beloved Standard Poodle Hershey, why a Poodle and a Doodle are genuinely different dogs, and what organizations like GANA and WALA are doing to raise breeding standards. 

This one is for every Doodle parent who has ever wondered if they made the wrong choice. Spoiler: you didn't. 🐾
