Doodles are a fucking nightmare. While shopping around for a new groomer I see so many have announcements on their social media specifically about matting in doodles, it's insane.Good God most "normal" english bulldog owners can't even be bothered to clean their dog's wrinkles, I can't imagine how the hell you would even maintain all of that.
As someone who has worked with dogs in the past, doodles are worse than pitbulls in my eyes. At least people have a basic understanding of how pitbulls can be dangerous animals. I've had owners swear up and down that their "designer" dogs are perfect angels, yet the doggy daycare I worked at was no better than a gentrified dogfighting ring. People flock to these dogs because irresponsible breeders swear they're easy to take care of and will always be gentle while most are genetic messes with an absolutely horrible temperament. (I know a couple that breeds them to pay for their kids' college funds because they can get such a high price for them.) Doodle owners will swear that they do research and picked the breed because of X reason, yet throw a tantrum when a groomer has to shave the dog down to the skin because the coat was so severely matted. I really do hope the designer dog trend starts to die down soon, there are too many irresponsible backyard breeders mixing breeds that shouldn't come together and too many idiots using them as a status symbol instead of a companion.
POV you're a groomer and someone pulls up with this thing asking for a full groom "but keep his hobo look"
