Yup, I could definitely be more hygienic when handling duck mess, but I just get on with it and wash my hands well after. The mud and poop mess is just part of my life now. You gotta embrace it!

Its not that bad, only when it's rich in protein, then its wet and stinky.

My family has 3 labradoodles because of my dad, but I wouldn’t have gotten that breed if I chose them, because they’re crazy and we “somehow” ended up with a merle “2nd gen labradoodle”.

I wouldn't have chosen mine either. My malamute is gorgeous, but the breed has its faults. I only have her because my family member didn't want them and she'd have ended up in the pound and euthanized (that's a fact. The pounds were full and only offered to euthanize them, she was very young and they wouldnt have rehomed without spaying which they also couldnt do.) So we took her in to save her and I refused to rehome after.

Like golden retrievers
They’re not bad… just basic.

My golden retrievers are not BASIC! Mine are intelligent and each have their own personality. Mine are not like ones you see online

That list would make a great article ...

I play with them to check reflexes and tickle to check for lumps. On hens I check feet and massage the crop. I also look for dirty bums.

Oh good to know, thank you. I agree I'd totally read that.

Can I get opinions?

Did you dissect it?

 

[Corbdee]

Oop, I know of a certain golden retriever owner in this thread...

And one previous owner

 

[Corbdee]

It's not me. I only have dogs that talk. (Malamutes n a husky)

I love husky's oh my gosh

I think they are pretty as long as they are not from a specific hatchery, not going to say the name. The ones from that hatchery seem dull. All the other ones i have seen i have liked.

My boy is not from a hatchery
He has some neat patterns
And he makes beautiful sons with his pekin wife
