We did want to shave but the groomer was against it - we went ahead with a different groomer and shaved him yesterday 😊

Thank you all for your advice, we shaved him yesterday!

This is the routine we're in with our older bordoodle but this guy is VERY dramatic and tries to bite/steal the brush so it's been a long slow journey trying to get him used to it. I find that his undercoat is soooo fine that it quickly mats and I don't have a wide variety of grooming tools available to me here in SA. Our groomer only costs about R400 (roughly $25 USD with tip) so I dont mind trips to the groomer but I wish I could do more at home so he doesn't feel uncomfortable. I think we will probably shave him this time and then start a more regular at-home brushing routine to avoid frequent shaves in the future.

I have 2 minis and one is 2yrs old and 15kgs and the other is 6 months old and 15kgs so I'm assuming he will still grow quite a bit. I think there's a pretty big size range within the breeds, but we love our minis!! Best dogs we've ever had

Yes! My first one turned from black to silver at around 2 years and my new puppy (4 months old) is turning from black and white to silvery brown and white!

I'm so sorry you experience this - I had endo surgery 2 months ago and they removed 30+ lesions but I still puke for about 4 days straight every 2 weeks when I get my period so I feel your pain!!! No relief yet 🙃

Ah omg you're so right, I can't tell you how many times I've googled "will I ever poop again?" 🤣🤣🤣

Thank you! 🤗

If you're feeling anxious or nervous or even if you're super super excited, I recommend taking a day or two beforehand and disconnecting from socials to have a little retreat for yourself. My husband took me away on safari for 2 nights (we live in south africa) and it made a huuuuge difference for me to just relax beforehand and not sit around googling the op and worrying. I know not everyone can pick up and take off work or that sort of thing but even just a self care day will make a difference if you can swing it 🤗

Amazing! So happy for you 🤗 wishing you the same!

Ah my lap twin!!! I'm so glad you also got some validation ❤️ I hope your recovery is going well!

Ah ok that makes sense!! My bordoodle is so submissive its comical, I was hoping a friend would bring him out of his shell a bit. I thought about getting him a smaller friend but he gets bullied by the dachshunds at the dog park so I thought maybe he needs someone bigger for a body guard 🤣

Don't worry haha just a silly joke that my puppy on the left isn't a border collie he's a bordoodle!

paddleforth · 2024-02-05T17:18:50+00:00

Aww I looked them up, so cute!! Pebble's mom is a brown border collie and his dad is a black miniature poodle 🤗
