Every single one I've seen just randomly barks. Getting walked by its owner? Barking. Standing behind a window? Barking. A leaf falls? Barking. Ok, stupid owners, for sure. But I just saw my neighbor walking his shiny copper-colored puppy (couple months old?), and of course it was just barking as it was moving along. I don't think I've seen a more annoying crossbreed.

Family member has one. It does bark at the thought of the wind might blow.
Also named one thing, but they refer to it as - dumb dumb. |

Yes,
Goldens, labs, and standard poodles are all awesome breeds and among the best family/working dogs you could have. I’ve never met a mix that was worth a shit in the field or unretarded in the house. |

Mine almost never barks. Someone comes to the door and surprises him and he lets it rip but zero nuisance barking.
He’s a first gen Doodle. They tend to not be as f’ed up as the true Doodle on Doodle mixes.  Attached File |

I was in a house with one of those dogs that looks like them, a Portugese Water Dog, and it was single handedly the smartest dog I've ever been around. It intently watched me wire some stuff up, trying to figure out what I was doing, and when I moved onto the next room it came with me and grabbed the pliers out of my tool box and gave them to me. I would have taken that dog home with me.

After owning 2 doodles, I'll say this.....doodles aren't bad dogs, but watering down a good breed with poodle DNA is fucking retarded. Poodles are sensitive and have shit coats. IMO, the Golden Retriever is nearly perfect. No need to mess with it! As soon as my wife's Aussie Doodle kicks the bucket, or I'm able to convince her to get rid of it, I'm going back with Golden Retrievers and GSDs. By far the best 2 family breeds.
Also, the whole no shedding thing is a total scam. Yes, they don't shed, but what they don't tell you is that because they don't shed, their coat is an absolute maintenance nightmare. So much so, that some groomers won't even mess with them. Vacuuming is a hell of a lot easier than continually grooming an idiot dog. |

Mine barks at things he sees and other barks that he hears miles away.
He is really one of the smartest dogs I have ever had. I have had GOLDENS, and a JRT. He is much smarter than those. |

My neighbor has a labradoodle and that dog constantly barks at everything that it sees. Even if you see her and talk to her like 20 times a day every day, she barks like you're a complete stranger. I'm pretty sure that she is as dumb as shit. Too bad, because Labs are usually pretty cool dogs. Add the "doodle" and that dog is now ugly and dumb.

my golden didnt bark for anything the first 3 years of his life, then we had a child and now he barks if any other animal is near. i cant deny that he is a slow thinker though. any command i give takes him a sold 5-10 seconds to process before he actually does the command.

Our goldens only bark if someone steps foot on our property that isn't us.
Makes getting packages all the time real fun. Can't complain though, it's kind of their job. |

We have two Aussie-Doodles both are about 25 lbs.... they are fantastic dogs.
Well mannered, loving as can be, not destructive, eager to please and be loved. Like all dogs, they each have their own personality. The big one (older) is basically a "hall monitor" personality that is very obedient (goody 2 shoes), but gets irritated if anyone is having too much fun or being too loud. Meanwhile, she watches TV every night and goes crazy when she sees a dog, cat or horse on the screen. She doesn't have many "animal" friends. I think she may be a closet arfcommer.  The smaller/younger one is convinced she's actually a cat in a dog's body. All but refuses to come when called, walks on tables and on top of things you'd think a dog that size couldn't get up on. I can't ever tell if she's stupid or just stubborn to the point being annoying. Every animal she's ever met loves her and want's to be around her. The new cat follows her around and cries for her when she goes to bed with my daughter. I had a 110 lb yellow lab before these dogs. I loved that dog. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Buckeye33: You must learn the song of Beagle to appreciate. We had a neighbor with a beagle that would leave him out for hours at a time and it never stopped howling. Smart dog it learned how to open doors so they had to get those child proof knob covers and change their front door knob all together. I’ve liked all the golden doodles I’ve ever met. Bernadoodle is the only cross I’ve come across that wasn’t universally friendly. Not a mean dog at all but not the insane people pleasers goldens are. You had to earn her affection like a cat. Outside of guard dogs I don’t think any dog should be anything but freely affectionate. |

Doodles can be good dogs. People forget that poodle is still there. Poodles are great dogs, but very smart and need to be properly managed.
Beagles are the Bidens of the dog world.
