Most Common Breeds at RMK9 Ogden
Based on Ogden's full client roster — real breed data, not estimates.
Goldendoodle
Rocky Mountain K9's most popular breed at all 5 locations
The Goldendoodle — a Golden Retriever and Poodle cross — is the most common breed across all five Rocky Mountain K9 locations. Their low-shedding, wavy-to-curly coats and eager-to-please personalities make them naturals for both professional grooming and structured training programs.
Utah's dry climate (average humidity 25–35%) causes Goldendoodle coats to mat significantly faster than in humid states. At higher elevations like Park City (7,000 ft), UV exposure can also subtly bleach darker coats over summer. Our groomers recommend a conditioning treatment at every appointment.
Goldendoodles respond exceptionally well to positive reinforcement. At RMK9, we see them master basic obedience in 2–4 sessions and move quickly into advanced commands. Their Golden Retriever side makes them people-pleasers; their Poodle side gives them the problem-solving ability to retain complex behaviors.
Labrador Retriever
America's most popular breed — and RMK9's most versatile training client
Labrador Retrievers rank as RMK9's second most common breed across all locations. Their short double coats, boundless energy, and near-legendary trainability make them ideal candidates for every service — from daycare and boarding to advanced training programs.
Labs are heavy seasonal shedders. Utah's low humidity means loose undercoat can accumulate quickly indoors. Spring (March–April) and fall (October–November) are peak blow-coat periods — RMK9 groomers recommend scheduling de-shed appointments at the start of each season.
Labs are among the easiest breeds our trainers work with. Their food drive is exceptional, making treat-based reinforcement highly effective. At RMK9, Labs regularly complete basic obedience in 1–2 sessions and are strong candidates for our advanced off-leash and retrieval programs. The key challenge is managing their high energy during focus work.
Golden Retriever
Gentle, devoted, and consistently one of RMK9's most requested grooming breeds
Golden Retrievers are the third most common breed at Rocky Mountain K9, particularly prominent at the Park City location. Their long feathered coats require regular professional grooming, and their famously gentle temperament makes them ideal for both group daycare and training programs.
Golden Retrievers love water — and Utah's rivers, reservoirs, and mountain lakes see heavy dog traffic in summer. After swimming, their dense coats take hours to fully dry and are prone to hot spots if not properly blown out. RMK9 groomers recommend a full bath and blow-out within 24 hours of any water activity.
Goldens are among the most rewarding breeds to train at RMK9. They genuinely want to please their handler, which makes correction unnecessary in most cases — redirection and positive reinforcement is all that's needed. They also retain commands exceptionally well between sessions, meaning owners see fast real-world results.
