This is the exact opposite of my experience. Most doodle owners go the extra mile for their dogs, buying them actual food instead of kibble, getting them R+ trained (don’t say you love dogs and then train them with any other technique), they are active in their dogs lives, taking them to hike, walks, parks, family gatherings, and owning a doodle you understand that they still shed and need to be groomed a lot more than other dogs.
The worst owners and dogs by far and away are pit bull owners. Everyone thinks that their little “pebble” or “velvet cow” is so cute until it rips a toddlers face off, but then it’s somehow the toddlers fault.
I own a doodle, but probably the most engaged owners I’ve seen are greyhound/former track dog owners. They form bonds with dogs that have been abused and maybe only have a couple more years left, that’s tough.
