@tim123456 I’d set up a permanent dog free zone in the house for the cat. Maybe it’s a room cordoned off by a baby gate or cat door that the dog cannot fit into, but whatever it is the place must allow the cat to get away from the dogs if they wish and the dogs should be trained to not go in...

@caitlynlovesjesus I definitely do get that frustration. Doodles are riddled with utterly terrible breeders who are great at nothing more marketing themselves to the public. It’s only reasonable to be suspicious of doodle breeders. Or even a little angry when it comes to those who know better...

@thecurious Though OP mentioned that they live in France. Meaning that they would be showing under LOF and FCI rules. The FCI requires that all dogs be exclusively owner handled and ban professional handlers. A child is of course always still allowed to borrow someone else’s dog for juniors...
