The Marquis Greeted Every Guest at the Door in Pink and Curls
Soft apricot curls tumble over the ears and forehead of a Goldendoodle marquis, and his deep brown eyes look out with sweet, friendly seriousness. A big white lace ruff frames his face like a flower, and a pale pink coat is embroidered with golden blossoms and tied with a gold cord at the shoulder. Behind him, a pale blue and pink sky swirls with clouds and gilded scrolls, and painted roses bloom to one side. The portrait glows with spring light, and the marquis seems pleased to be part of it.
Goldendoodles are a cross between Golden Retrievers and Poodles, and they are loved for their friendly, playful nature. Because they are a mixed breed, their size, coat type, and temperament vary from dog to dog. Their curly coats can tangle easily and need regular brushing and trimming, and floppy ears should be checked and kept dry. Most Goldendoodles are active and social and love games, walks, and swimming. Training with praise and treats works well, and early socialization helps them grow into polite adults. Your vet can advise on exercise, grooming, and diet.
The marquis greets every guest at the palace door with a wag and a nuzzle, and no visitor has ever left without a few apricot curls on their coat. He may be nobility, but he is first and foremost a friend.
