Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

Growing up with retrievers, I was a big dog guy. In my now more advanced state (I'm still young enough that I don't think I'm "middle-aged," though I do find myself defining why I'm not...), I've become much more partial to the littler ones. A good friend has a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel that is an awesome little thing. Loves, loves, loves its people, and is pretty low maintenance. It's that maintenance part that gets my attention now. My teenagers are high maintenance. My work is high maintenance. I don't need a high maintenance dog, too. 

Of course, we don't have a dog at all; we have a cat. She's awesome, too--and low maintenance. But a cat doesn't love you like a dog does.

Had a golden retriever for 15 years

best children dog there is

We have two Golden Doodles that have to be the most energetically happy dogs I've ever seen.

weve currently got two cats

one is a young female that we adopted about 2 years ago

the other is a male about 10 years old

both have been fixed

they get along real well and they both think they run the house

Im really a big dog person but dogs require more attention then I can give  so we have cats

We have a labradoodle. When I finally gave in to my wife and kids about getting a dog my one requirement was I didn’t want it to shed.

My wife researched it and told me labradoodles didn’t shed and were good with kids. She got it half right. It’s a sweet dog but apparently there are different types of labradoodles and some shed and some don’t. She got one that did.

Occasionally when I empty the vacuum I’ll show her the remnants of our dog that doesn’t shed. Luckily, it doesn’t shed as much as a regular Lab does.

Least interesting subject on board.  I know enough never to be critical of peoples pets.  I'm not a pet person, have some allergies and we have a pet ban in our marriage.   Certain other people's dogs are fun to enjoy, but I would be a lousy owner.  Seems to be a lot of huge dogs around here .

I never would have guessed we have so many whatever-doodle owners on this board...
