The Court Musician Raised His Violin and the Hall Fell Silent
A curly apricot Goldendoodle looks up with sweet, soft eyes while hugging a violin in his lap. His coat is blue velvet slashed with gold embroidery, there is a dark cloak over one shoulder, and a lace collar and cuffs add a pretty froth around his neck and paws. The violin's warm wood glows, and one curly paw sits near the strings, as though he is waiting politely for a cue from the conductor.
Look at the way the curls of his fur echo the swirls on his coat. The painter built the picture from deep browns and blues so the cream face and golden instrument stand out as bright, warm spots.
Goldendoodles are a mix of Golden Retriever and Poodle, and they are usually social, eager to please, and full of energy. Because the mix can vary, coats range from loose waves to tight curls, so grooming needs differ from dog to dog. Most need brushing several times a week and regular trims to prevent mats. These dogs often love people and may get lonely if left alone too long, so they do best with company and activity. A vet can help you plan exercise and the right diet for your dog.
His concert may be silent, but the audience seems perfectly happy just to look at that gentle face.
