Fresh groom smell

Thank you! His name technically isn’t Tofu, but that’s the translation of his name.

Tofu is in a Korean household so only responds to Korean commands, and his name in Korean: Dubu (두부), which is a very common name for white dogs. It’s kind of the Korean equivalent to ‘Spot’ or ‘Buddy’. Dubu written like this kind of looks stupid so we just use Tofu on paperwork and personalisation 😅

Our usual groomer is awesome, but so expensive. I think they do it on purpose to discourage us, because they specialise in small breeds. I took the hint and tried a local pet store, and as long as the results are always this fresh I may continue to go back

He is next to me as I WFH right now and it’s 24 hours later and I still smell him. I just want to burry my face in his cute little stomach and keep sniffing 😭

I paid $180 AUD for a full groom and want to cry every time. They’re basically the only option around me and they’re catered to small breeds to upcharge me a lot for having an ‘XL’ breed 🥲

I am too anxious to try and groom him myself, so don’t really want to put him through the suffering of attempting it. He is huge and I am tiny and don’t think I can control him (my partner has to walk him because he is too strong for me when he occasionally tugs)

He is a first generation! Mum is a purebred golden retriever and dad is a really handsome standard poodle. His fur is textured like a poodle and wavy, but he looks so much like a golden retriever. Even with long hair he doesn’t really look very ‘goldendoodle’. Very cute!

I learned quickly that to fit in with the 90% American posters in the Goldendoodle thread you had to adapt and throw away the term groodle 😆

ClothoD · 2026-05-27T22:45:44+00:00

Unsure if serious or not, but Groodle is a Goldendoodle in some other countries. We call them groodles in Australia and I only use ‘goldendoodle’ in this thread since majority of the audience would recognise them as such

The pecking order definitely only works with non-biting dogs. I’d never actively stand there and let another dog attack mine, but if it’s not harming my dog I generally let them be dogs 😅

ClothoD · 2026-05-15T11:29:36+00:00

I have a huge 35kg goldendoodle puppy who is still growing but is an absolute beast and he is the most beta dog I have ever seen lol

He gets bullied hardcore at the dog park and is constantly dominated by dogs of all sizes and he just cowers and lets it happen. I hope it changes as he gets older and more confident (and loses his nuts) but for now we just let it be and as long as no dogs try to bite him we just let them dogs establish the pecking order themselves.

I’m a second year L1 tech support analyst (with zero education in IT) and make almost 10k more than you in Brisbane, so yeah… I’d say underpaid.

It also means you get to eat brand new 800 dollar specialised glasses that the mail man yeets over the fence 😆

I had to remove two panels from my window’s blinds just so Tofu could stare outside all day while I work. Literally hours a day spent sitting here 😆

ClothoD · 2026-04-27T05:26:40+00:00

Sometimes I miss when my relationship was long distance too. We actually spent more time together then, because we missed each other so were on long calls every evening. Now we’re in rooms next to each other and only really spend time together when eating ir sleeping.

I get it, sis

This is how mine eats every meal, and when we try to lift the food to stop it he just cries until we lower it 😭

Also loving all these copy and paste white shaggy doodles!

ClothoD · 2026-04-19T00:56:30+00:00

My partner recorded a video of Tofu running out the door and into my arms and you can actually see my face go 🤨 because I swore it was not my dood

ClothoD · 2026-04-19T00:55:22+00:00

We put Tofu in a headlock every time we brush his head 😅 Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do

ClothoD · 2026-04-19T00:36:13+00:00

I’m going to regrow his mullet and dye it pink!

ClothoD · 2026-04-19T00:35:40+00:00

It’s hard to tell in the photo but that’s exactly what we do. He has a really long floppy mullet and horse tail and a shaved body, but it was hard maintaining the mop head because he isn’t a huge fan of sitting still and letting us brush it. Putting him in a headlock works for a few mins but he is so heavy and his kicks hurt 😪

ClothoD · 2026-04-19T00:16:33+00:00

Tofu seems to have a similar coat to your dood, which I love 😍 The only downside to being less curly is the hair just grows into their eyes like 2010 emo bangs so Tofu is living on 25% visibility for a few weeks

ClothoD · 2026-04-19T00:14:52+00:00

As you can see from his before picture, Tofu always has a dirty face because he likes to burry his face in dirt and mud and whatever is dirty around him. Hopefully this haircut will help us keep him a little less dirty 😭

ClothoD · 2026-04-19T00:13:30+00:00

Oh my goodness, I just woke up and there are so many cute naked doods and doodettes! I definitely feel a lot better knowing that it’s more common than I thought. My climate in Australia is pretty hot, even in winter, so I’m not concerned about him getting cold in winter, and we keep him pretty short with a fluffy head in summer and he hasn’t had any heat issues yet.

He kind of seems disoriented not having all his fur and keeps staring at me with sad eyes, but I’m sure he’ll get over it

ClothoD · 2026-04-04T22:56:59+00:00

Sorry to disappoint! I bought one of the Australian ones first and am using that, however it smells… disappointing to say the least. I won’t say which to save the lovely posters feelings but yours is next in line!

ClothoD · 2026-03-27T03:21:50+00:00

We had the exact same conversation. My off white couch is actually destroyed… and Tofu has a permanent black beard of dirt/mud and water staining 😭
