My husband and I retired and moved to Bend, OR in 1999 from Dallas, TX. After 6 months of settling in, we acquired Lucy, our little schnoodle (schnauzer/poodle) and then Otto, our labradoodle, followed 4 years later. Living in the Northwest has been great for all of us. I also enjoy watching TV programs on dog training and obedience!
I love to pamper my pups!
What Type of Doodle(s) do you have? What are their names? Tell us about your doodle(s) or any other pets you have!
Otto is our special boy ! He's medium size, F1B, and 3 years old. We would describe him as smart, playful and very loving. His sire was Devons Got Groove Too and dam was Jilin Silver Belle. He's amazing...
Where did you get your doodle(s)?
Breeder
Why did you choose a doodle rather than another breed or mix?
A lot of website studying convinced me that a doodle had all the qualities we were looking for in a dog.
What are Your Favorite Things to Do With Your Doodles?
Otto is a real snuggler, which I love. But, I like to teach him new tricks and take walks with both dogs.
Does your doodle(s) shed?
Nope!
Who grooms your doodle(s)?
I do
Favorite Doodle Products?
Are there any? Otto loves to play ball and they both like chewing on their kongs. Stuffed toys don't go over well.
Hi Jean, just catching up on DK. My Ozzie is also a BIG TALKER and a Jilin-Trusty boy. We are going to be in Bend on Oct 19 for a few days. I am looking at real estate there for a possible relocation from the frantic Bay Area. (I am also a Texan,but left many years ago!). Maybe at some point we can meet. I am focusing on the NW area of Bend and meeting with a real estate agent there.
Yes the one out by St. Charles is part of a big sports complex and the park is very nice. Not sure how it would be in the winter, might be muddy. The next time I'm up is the week after Christmas. So give me a call when you are back in Bend. I will e-mail you the number. I was wondering how you did the snow coming from Texas. You leave.

Hi, I'm in Bend about once a month, do you go to he dog park by Old Mill or the new one over by St. Charles? I will let you know the next time I'm up and maybe the boys can get together at one of the dog parks. I have had a house on Bend for 5 years and love going up there.
Glad you joined chocolate doodles group-Otto is obviously a great member for this group. By the way, we have been planning to move to Grants Pass and come up to ORegon frequently. We are also retired.
Yes, Hondo certainly does talk - not much around the house, but if we are going somewhere he talks constantly, especially when he sees and knows where we are going. Today we went to Carmel Beach and he was talking as soon as we got into Carmel. He loves the beach and you can tell!
Welcome to DoodleKisses. You are rather a new member and I haven't welcomed you yet. But, I want to tell you to join the Chocolate Doodles group. It is perfect for Otto. He looks so much like my Hondo when he was a pup. Actually they still resemble each other, but Hondo is a big guy. He is over 100 pounds and 28 inches tall. He is a F1 labradoodle and the best dog I have ever had.
WELCOME TO DOODLEKISSES. THIS IS A GREAT PLACE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT DOODLES. BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE GROUPS AND TAKE PART IN THE DISCUSSIONS. ENJOY! OTTO IS GORGEOUS. I A HAVE A SMALL MEDIUM LABRADOODLE. NED IS 27 POUNDS.
Hi Jean, So glad to see you on the site. Thank's for the compliment about Ozzie. He is a major sweetheart and my best friend! I, too, am originally from Houston, Texas. Have been in California now for over 30 years and don't miss the heat/humidity at all. I have actually thought about Bend for my "golden years" but just haven't moved forward on it. Am so glad to see Otto. I really looks like a cross of Jilin-Devon doesn't he. How big is he? My Ozzie weighs 44 pounds and is a slender dog. He is ball crazy too and stuffed animals are no longer on the toy list. They last, hmmm, maybe 5 minutes before I start picking up white fluff! I love this boy dearly. Rochelle is a fabulous breeder and I have never heard a single bad word about any of her pups. Glad to be in contact with Ozzie's half-brother!
