  Roxy is adorable! Reminds me of Oscar when he was young.

  Just thought I'd share a pic of my white labradoodle Roxy. She's been groomed today..

  Hi Sally, and welcome to DK! Both my doodles lightened with age. I think that's what generally happens with cream doodles. Penny's carmel-colored ears are pretty and distinctive. Oscar had a similar ear color as a young puppy, but now only half of each ear is a light carmel. The other half is cream. I haven't seen any other cream doodles with that same ear color pattern.

  Welcome, Marianne! Nimbus is white. I've wanted a white one from the start. Yes, you see the dirt right away, but on the other hand, the other dogs have the same dirt on them and you might not wash them even though they're dirty.
  I only treat Nimbus if I see a flea or tick on him. Even then I might just take it off and be done with it. That way I won't put unnecessary chemicals on him.

  Hi Marianne Kay, welcome to the group! As you can see from the posts here this isn't a very active group. I picked cream colored doodles only because I like the light color and find it easy to see their features. We've never had a tick problem, or flea problem for that matter. I give them Sentinel and NexGuard for fleas (and ticks, in the case of Lucy's Sentinel). I've never once found either pest on them, but you're right, with the light coats its easy to spot anything dark on them. Which is a good point in favor of NOT getting a light dog... they show dirt very easily! I just deal with it (hmm... I think my next dog just might be a dark one :)).

  Hello fellow white and cream doodle owners. I am a new member. Thank you for this group. I specifically chose a light color dog to avoid ticks and to easily see the ticks. Thankfully because of Pierre's thick coat, most ticks, ( not many are attracted to him) crawl on top of his coat wondering how they get through it to his skin. The only one I ever found attached was on his back leg near his foot. Now I keep his feet trimmed up and check them more often. I time his frontline tick application a few days before he gets a bath or grooming. No matter how good a part I make in his coat, it still darkens after the application.

  I definitely don't do grooming myself because over time I think it has become clear that I simply lack the talent (though I will keep trying). Despite the fact that M.J. could probably still fit in the kitchen sink (she weighs 18lbs) I bathe her in the tub/shower and just get in there with her. When M.J. was transitioning from her puppy coat to her adult coat there was lots of matting but now not so much and it's totally manageable (her coat is wavy though so I'm sure that helps vs a curly coat). The Aroma Paws is a lovely shampoo (several scents/formulations to choose from) and I love the ingredients but it doesn't help with staining, it's the SB Blueberry Facial that has helped us with that. Despite how expensive it is, I bought our bottle of SB Blueberry Facial 3+ months ago and still have at least 80% of it left so as long as you limit where you use it I think it can be totally worth it. I'm not sure how it works or if it will work for all staining but I was so frustrated with the tear staining that I was willing to try anything. :)
