Thank you, SC, for this article.
I just had to FB it to one of my grand-daugthers, who at the age of 16, deserves the “Best Youth Entrepreneur” award.
She owns her own company that supplies B1 Doodles to folks, especially ones with allergies.
There have been goldendoodles, labradoodles, bernedoodles, and Irish doodles.
She is not a puppy mill and rails against them.
Only has one litter at a time, most are sold before or right after they are born.
At 6 weeks they are on their way to their new loving families, which she has screened and gotten to know.
She has placed dogs all over this country and then received feedback as to how they are doing, photos and videos are so fun to see and watch.
I am so proud of her, a very loving, caring young lady.
You have every right to be proud of your granddaughter - what a great thing she’s doing, an awesome young lady. She will go far!
My cousin and his wife have been involved in the initial care and training of service dogs for a few years. They work with the puppies until they’re a certain age and then sometimes turn them over to another volunteer for more training. A real worthy endeavor! I would have a hard time doing that as I’d get too attached to the dogs! They normally work with labs and retrievers, I’ll have to ask them if anyone in their club works with doodles - they are so darn cute and good dogs. I think if I were to get a dog, I’d lean towards a doodle, though I love German Shepherd (but they shed).
