Doodle Q&A (Real-World Expectations)
Are doodles really low-maintenance?
Low shedding often means more mat prevention. Expect brushing 3–7×/week depending on coat, plus regular trims.
Good with kids and other pets?
Generally yes with socialization. They’re affectionate and people-oriented, but training keeps enthusiasm from becoming jumping or herding.
How much exercise is typical?
Plan for 45–90 minutes daily split between walks, play, and brain games. Smart dogs need mental work as much as steps.
Are they hypoallergenic?
No dog is truly “hypoallergenic.” Meet the exact dog, clean environments, HEPA filters, and discuss with your allergist.

When To See A Vet
While occasional nightmares are normal, you should consult your veterinarian if your doodle’s sleep disturbances are:
- Frequent or intensifying over time
- Accompanied by extreme aggression or confusion
- Causing the dog to injure itself
- Associated with other behavioral changes, such as increased anxiety during the day
These symptoms could be signs of a more serious issue, such as REM sleep behavior disorder or seizures, which may require medical treatment. It is helpful to take a video of the episodes to show your vet.
