Thanks all for the welcome! Our pup isn't here quite yet, we pick him up at the airport on Wednesday. But we just made a tag, so I guess his name is official. We're calling him Tycho (pronouced tee' ko). We're hoping the great lessons taught by mom and the breeder will help with house breaking, but I'm also guessing we've got some work to do as well.
Another quick question, how often do people recommend grooming a doodle? Anyone with an older dood wearing a corded coat? I love that look, but I don't know the best way to maintain it. Thanks!
Regards, Laurie

Golden Doodle 4 months ago..Assuming you got them from a breeder, the
puppy should be fairly house broken...They should let you know when
it's time...However, be prepared for some mistakes!! lol..As for other
training, the best advice is to see how well the puppy is trained and
what needs to be done....I'll tell you this, doods love
to chew, so watch your stuff!!! They love clothes and shoes...Other
than that, you'll know what needs to be done...
Hope you enjoy your dood as much as we do ours!! Incidentally, what's
their name??

our Goldendoodle puppy to arrive on Weds:) We are very excited and
trying to get ready. Actually, at this point I'm having equal parts
of excitement and "oh my gosh, what were we thinking??" while looking
over all the non-puppy proofed things all over the house.

will be just 8 weeks when he arrives. We will be crate training,
which I've never done before. In fact, it's been 15 years since I had
a puppy in the house.
