I almost whizzed my pants when I read this thread.

I live with a 6 year old Goldendoodle named.......TUCKER!

----------------------

I think the 'Doodles' do have some tics that are inherent to the breed.

Tuck is skittish and jumps when he hears sudden noises and sometimes barks to the point where he is irritating.

He has to let you know he wants to go outdoors, so he'll bark like a maniac to get our attention.

That is when the back door is closed, When the door is open?

He just has to push on the storm door to go out.

He doesn't know enough to go to the door to check to see if he can go out on his own!

Tuck is a good dog, but there are times when I wonder if he'll ever get the hang of things.....
