Comparing Goldendoodles and Labradoodles

by: Edie MacKenzie

Goldendoodle and Labradoodle breeder Michael Waggenbach, of Sunshine Acres feels, ?For a therapy dog, the Goldendoodle is the better choice. I?m not sure what it is, but they don?t tend to dust all the tabletops when walking into a hospital or an elderly home, where the Labradoodles? tails are going back forth so fast they dust every thing off.?

During an interview with Indiana Doodle Owners Group founder Beth Line, she said, ?There?s a very distinct difference between Labradoodles and Goldendoodles,? Beth said. ?As an owner and observer of behavioral traits I see a big difference. It takes more to convince the Labradoodles to come into your environment ? into your space. They will evaluate you before they walk into your area. And, they?re very loyal, friendly, all the things Labs are, but they need to be convinced that walking into your space is a good idea. They won?t come right in.?

?They?re also strong.
They have very strong necks and they?re going to pull more.
And their coats are going to be different.
I tell the difference between the F1 Labradoodle and Goldendoodle by their coat.
It stands to reason a labs coat is short. Add some poodle to it and it?s going to have some length and weight.
However, you aren?t going to find a six inch long wavy, curly coat on an F1 Labradoodle because there?s nowhere for that 6-inches to come from genetically.
A lab has a short coat and the poodle has curl.

?Labradoodles (F1) are also going to tend to go more terrier like ? wiry. They also tend to be weightier and their body shape will be a little boxier.?

?The Goldendoodle on the other hand, when they reach their adult coats, their hair is going to grow 4 to 6 inches long and has a wavy look or a curl to it because of the poodle.
It?s the same formula, more curl equals less shedding and more wave equals higher shedding.?

?Conceptually, Golden Retrievers influence the Goldendoodle causing them to be more zestful.
They?ll come into your space immediately.
They don?t sit back, they come into it immediately and are happy to visit with you. They are happy, affectionate, and happy to roll on you.
They don?t have the delay of making a decision. They make their decision well before they decide to come to you.?

?Goldendoodles are mouthier. Their mouth will be more active when they are puppies and you have to train them not to be mouthy, because they?ll use that mouth on you somewhere!
That?s where they get their information.
I have trained my Goldendoodles not to put their mouths on people by simply taking one of their other natural tendencies (retrieving) and replacing the mouthing with retrieving a toy. Their natural desire to retrieve keeps their mouths occupied with a toy.?

?So, they are mouthier than the Labradoodle puppy.
I referred to the Goldendoodle as a very zestful and happy with life kind of being. The Labradoodle has a sense of loyalty and appreciation, whereas the Goldendoodle has a wonderful, life of the party, personality.?

Designing a Fun Family Coat of Arms

Designing a Fun Family Coat of Arms

by: Chris Simeral

Armorial bearings, or coats of arms, take us back to the glamour of the middle ages. In days of old, knights displayed heraldic devices on their horses' caparisons, their servants' liveries, and on their banners and shields. As war medals are awarded today, so coats' of arms and other heraldic devices could be awarded to knights for their service in battle. But the primary role of coats' of arms was identification in battle ? the bright, vibrant colors and symbols identified the knight to his men, and his flying banner was a rallying point for them.

Heraldry refers to the study of coats of arms, and takes its name from the Heralds, who were the special ambassadors and messengers of feudal times. They were employed by all great lords, and by the king. Because Heralds traveled freely around the country, they were also the armorial officials. They granted armorial bearings. At tournaments, it...

5 Ways To Keep Warm In Winter

5 Ways To Keep Warm In Winter

by: Janice Wee

The movie The Day After Tomorrow. Where everyone was facing an ice age ahead, with temperatures so cold your blood could freeze instantly.

The main characters in the story were hiding in a library. Wise move. You wouldn't run out of things to burn in a library that is full of books. In their effort to stay warm, they kept their fireplace ablaze by burning library books, feeding the fire continually for that much needed warmth.

A homeless guy who had to survive winter in the streets crushed up paper and stuffed his clothes with them for insulation. One of the key ways to stay warm in winter is to insulate your clothing. That way, you keep the warmth in and the cold out. Crushing the paper trapped air. Air is a great insulator of heat. So that made a lot of sense.

Here are 5 tips to help you fight the cold.

Painting Kitchen Cabinets

Painting Kitchen Cabinets

by: Ken Morris

Kitchen cabinets are one of the most expensive items in home remodelling. Cabinetry costs more than replacing the kitchen furniture in many cases. If you can afford the expense, there are a wide variety of designs and styles available to update your cabinets. You can add extras like a kitchen island, lazy susan, or built-in appliance centers.

If replacing the cabinetry is too expensive for your budget, refacing is a less expensive alternative. Refacing involves replacing only the cabinet doors and exposed wood areas of the cabinets. The insides are left as they are to save money on the job. Painting is the least expensive option and can give the room new life. The job can be easily done over a long weekend with the right preparation.

You will need to decide if you will paint the entire cabinet, inside and out, or just the outside and the doors. To save time, consider leaving the inside of the cabinet...

Cricket Bat Care And Maintenance Tips

Cricket Bat Care And Maintenance Tips

by: Ian Canaway

You should oil your new cricket bat using linseed oil before you begin to it knock-in.

Firstly lightly sand the surfaces of the cricket bat with a fine grade of sand paper. Then apply 2-3 light coats of oil to all exposed surfaces of the bat, allowing sufficient time for the bat to dry between coats, usually overnight.

It?s best to avoid oiling your cricket bat if it already has an artificial coating. Also don?t stand the bat in oil as this can cause the bat to soften and be more prone to damage.

Once you have oiled your bat and it has dried out, you can then begin to knock-in your new cricket bat.

After a match always check over your bat for signs of damage, such as cracking or splitting of the wood. You can repair damage by sanding and cleaning the damaged area, then using super glue or cricket bat tape to repair any small surface cracks.

During the off season, avoid...
