*When a doodle can't seem to bond *

When DK Member Stacy adopted her adorable labradoodle Maggie, she didn't expect to get the cold shoulder and constant escape attempts. Aren't doodles supposed to love people? Why did her dog not even recognize her existence and want so badly to get away? Was there any hope? Learn about Stacy's journey with Maggie and how they found a way to bond.

We also talk about bloat - which is common in poodles and poodle mixes - and the stomach surgery Stacy opted to get for one of her doodles recently to prevent some of the consequences of bloat.
