The Goldendoodle Empress Wore Pearls and Rubies and Ruled With Kindness
The empress has beautiful curls and a very warm look in her eye. A red Goldendoodle with rich auburn curls and soft, floppy ears gazes out under a gold crown set with pearls and rubies. A thick white ermine collar speckled with black sits over a dark green velvet robe embroidered with big gold thistle patterns, and a pearl necklace and cameo brooch rest at her neck. Behind her, a dark, warm background fades away, and a faint candle glow touches the cracked paint of the old canvas.
Goldendoodles are a cross between a Golden Retriever and a Poodle, and they are generally friendly, smart, and eager to please. Because they are a mixed breed, their coats vary, from loose waves to tight curls, so grooming needs differ from dog to dog. Most need regular brushing and trims, along with daily exercise, play, and training games. They tend to be social and may not like to be alone for long periods. Your vet can offer advice on diet, grooming, and care.
The painter has made the curls shine like polished copper, and the ermine collar adds a dramatic frame. She looks like a gentle, generous ruler, ready to pass a law requiring belly rubs for all. Even the crown seems pleased to be worn by someone so kind, and the whole court seems to relax in her glow.
