Golden Wolliver !! hahahaha

Had a really daft conversation out walkies today, I'm still giggling now - maybe it's one of those 'you had to be there' moments but I'll try and write it out

I was out walkies with my 3 pooches, minding my own business meandering along through the woods, trying to wake up! as it was only about 7.30 and I came across this middle aged lady with a 'labradoodle' she looked very well to do, barber coat, posh wellies, wide brimmed hat etc ( we usually see hoodies and trainers around here!!- she saw me then looked at Bailey and called her dog in to heel as we had to pass I thought it would be a good training exercise for Bailey so stopped to ask if I could let Bailey say hello to her dog as it was very well behaved, so I said ' excuse me, my dog is blind and not very well socialised, would I be able to introduce him slowly to your dog as she seems calm and friendly?' 'Oh yes by all means dear' she says so as I'm bringing Bailey slowly in closer keeping him calm she starts on about her 'labradoodle' on and on she went, I kinda shut her out as I was concentrating on Bailey, her dog was brill fair play to her it just sat as she'd told it to and I got Bailey nose to nose and he had a sniff, he was really relaxed and did really well I got Bailey in a sit near this dog and tuned back into her thinking we could do the doggy chat thing that you do just as she was saying her labradoodle was sooooooo expensive and perfect, from a top breeder - not flawed as my labradoodle obviously is they're a new breed, now recognised by all the top showing clubs don't you know ooh la la (she had a proper plum in her mouth!) asked which breeders I got my labradoodle from - now I took offence to Bailey being called 'flawed' and her I'm rich, can afford anything and my dogs the best etc etc attitude so I replied 'Oh he's not a Labradoodle, he's a Golden Wolliver ( thanks Bitkin ) a very rare breed from Scandanavia dunno where Scandanavia came from just popped out my mouth Oh she said and looked really upset - so I just wandered off - hahahaha wonder if she went home and googled it

If she did, top of the list is my 'I want a posh name' thread from a week or so ago

I may have to try that one next when someone asks me about my "chocolate lab".. "he's not one of those common dogs - he's a pure bred liver *insert new designer name rather than "springador"* from *insert random place*"

I'd have turned round and said that her dog was already flawed as it was a cross anyway - just to shut her up..

*I have nothing against crosses - I own 3 lol.

Out of interest I googled "Golden Wolliver" and it came up with your "I want a new name" thread

That's hilarious

So many people seem to want doodles. I have nothing against them - mostly really sweet, friendly dogs. But it can just get very frustrating when people marvel at what, once upon a time, was just a good old 'cross breed'!

I think that ultimately, 'labradoodle' WILL get recognised as a 'breed', purely because so many people already believe it is

Makes me laugh though when people bang on about how 'friendly' or 'clever' their 'labradoodles' are - why don't they just get a Lab or a Poodle??? Every single 'labradoodle' I know SHEDS as much as my Lab!

What an irritating lady, but what will be REALLY funny is if she doesn't google it at all but starts showing off to her friends about having seen a rare Scandinavian Golden Wolliver, and how she might consider buying one herself!!

I'll be scouring the introductions section now for new members trying to find out about the very rare breed they have recently met whilst on their walk

Golden Wooliver from Scandinavia

Brilliant -I love it!

We decided on a new name for Parker our "Poodle" if anyone asks us if he is a Poodle/Labradoodle or Scottie again ( ) we are going to say he is a "Pomble"!

This is what we think Parker closely resembles-a cross between a Poodle and a Womble (he's just like Orinoco in personality-lazy and greedy! for those of you old enough to remember the Wombles).

Ahhh, I love Pombles.........!!! Sadly, I remember the Wombles well, and it wasn't from my own childhood either

I don't mind admitting it.........

My mum & dad took me to see them at the Palace Theatre in Manchester!!! (Can't remember the year, it was that long ago)
