Have had an Aussie and GSD mix, both blew prodigious coat.
Now have a std poodle, no shedding but keep him cut short every couple months(most the time)..still not sure the grooming time outweighs the vacuuming time.

I also have a standard poodle.. I choose the non shedding over the shedding... the grooming is something else but I love how she doesn’t shed or stink... ever! We’ve always had Labs and they shed too much AND stink too much... always!!!!

I’ve been so torn between Aussie, Golden, Lab, or Poodle for my next dog lol there’s many many other breeds I want but those are probably the top 4. Oh and English Shepherd.

I think I’m strongly leaning towards a Golden though. They are just such sweet, sweet dogs.

But hopefully I can find one with a little bit more moderate coat that doesn’t have a whole lion’s mane.

The Aussie coat I think is even worse though haha and Labs. Labs shed SOOO much. We’ve had them too. Their fur get down in EVERYTHING too! At least with Goldens the fur tumble weeds.

Oh and I think puppyfinder seems like a nice website though I think for me personally I want to get my next dog from a reputable breeder and meet some owners in person like at dog shows and such and do it that way. But this seems like a nice option and I like that they have rescue dogs too!! And puppyfinder seems very different than puppyfind.

I’d also recommend petfinder if this doesn’t work out but they seem like nice people and seems the dog is real.

Sometimes there is no dog and they will try to get you to wire money beforehand but this one seems legit.

Yes! I much rather tumble weeds!! Just scoop em up! That’s how Cocker Spaniel fur is...

@BigBlueHen53 I think it says a lot that the people are willing to drive four hours to meet you... says to me that they care about where their dog goes...

it will be fine but need a photo after you get back

Will do, Miss @penny1960 !

I forgot about the 4 hrs for BOTH parties (DUH) sorry!! I wish you the best!

No worries, @Shezadandy ! It will be a long, 8-hour day by the time all is said and done. Hope the little guy travels well!

I have Shelties too(my username lol). I show them in AKC agility. If the rescue does not work out with puppy finder I can recommend reputable breeders for you.

Ooh! Yes, we definitely need to connect on that! I may not need a puppy myself, but when people see my Gracie, they ask about her. People do not know what a Sheltie is, they think she is beautiful and amazing and have usually never seen one before. Also, I suspect Sunny may make a good agility dog, he seems to be high energy from the video they sent me. Thanks!

Thanks, @KDOGG331! That would be a great way to meet dog people and breeders, I agree. Unfortunately we don't go to dog shows, I just didn't think of that. My guess is the best breeders probably show at St. Louis, kind of a long drive from us. Also, a lot of these events take place on Saturdays, which is our church day.

You're right about wiring money, that wouldn't happen at all, at all! This is a pay on the spot deal. We get the dog, they get their money. Shake hands, good-bye.

I am not sure how PuppyFinder makes their money, possibly by ads on their web site. They are not exactly brokering the deal as I thought they might. We are not meeting through them as fas as I know. Other than helping connect buyer and seller, they seem to be out of it entirely. It's interesting. I'll keep y'all posted.

Thank you, yes, I thought so! I love his face already! I see mischief and a sense of humor in those eyes...
