YOU DECIDED TO GET A LABRADOODLE
A Nick Shishkov Press - Dog You Chose Series Title
The Satirical Philosophy of Living With a Designed Dog

What happens when you try to engineer the perfect dog-and end up with something far more honest instead?

You expected intelligence without chaos, affection without intrusion, and a life gently optimized around soft curls and good decisions. What you got was enthusiasm, contradiction, emotional surveillance, and a creature that refuses to be simplified.

In You Decided to Get a Labradoodle, Nick A. Shishkov explores the strange agreement between modern humans and the dogs we design in our own image-only to discover they are not interested in playing along.

From hypoallergenic mythology to emotional attunement, from wellness rituals to the quiet collapse of personal boundaries, this book examines the Labradoodle as both companion and mirror.

You wanted control.
You got reflection.

You wanted improvement.
You got truth.

About The Dog You Chose Series

The Dog You Chose Series is a collection of satirical, philosophical portraits exploring what our choice of dog reveals about how we live. Each book examines a single breed as a reflection of human identity-our habits, contradictions, and quiet assumptions-written with humor, restraint, and an understanding that the dog is never just the dog.

Perfect For Readers Who:
• Love dogs but suspect they're being quietly studied in return
• Enjoy thoughtful humor over loud comedy
• Appreciate philosophy disguised as everyday observation
• Are willing to see themselves in what they chose

A Book as Observant, Warm, and Unsettling as Its Dog

This is not a manual. It will not help you train your Labradoodle. It will, however, explain why it follows you into every room, understands your moods better than you do, and refuses to become the version of perfection you thought you were buying. It is a quiet, precise look at the life you built-and the dog that reveals it.
