Joan Borchers has not received any gifts yet

About Me:: My husband Doyle is a retired Navy fighter pilot and commanding officer of a nuclear aircraft carrier. I am a choreographer and teacher. We own a large performing arts school in the San Francisco Bay area, and live in the Napa Valley.

What Type of Doodle(s) do you have? What are their names? Tell us about your doodle(s) or any other pets you have!: We have a black-and-white parti Labradoodle named Nelson (for Admiral Nelson). He shares us with our two Cheetoh hybrid cats, Tango and Samba, who look like miniature leopards. I guess we are a hybrid family...even our car!

Why did you choose a doodle rather than another breed or mix?: Our last two were Bernese Mountain Dogs and we did not want the hair or the smell. Nelson is perfect....except for the mats which we work hard to keep in check. He is also WAY more energetic!

What are Your Favorite Things to Do With Your Doodles?: Cuddle!! And walk and fetch.

Favorite Doodle Products?: Human tangle comb, Greenies, Favorite Stuffed bear

Do you have a website of your own? If so, share it here:: http://www.capadance.net

Yikes! Probably won't do that again! I have accepted your friend request. You will get the hang of this site - it takes a while. If you have a specific question, it is best to first do a search to see if there has already been a similar discussion that might have your answer. Go into My page and you will see your own page and you will also see comments people have left for you. If you look at the comment, you can just hit reply and you are commenting to that person only and it is not show on the main page. If you go into a discussion that someone else started and make a comment - that comment comes across the main page as soon as you hit the send button. You will get the hang of it. By the way, your leopard kitties are gorgeous! My sister had two that looks similar to yours. They have since past, but I was so amazed at how muscular they were compared to a regular house cat. You have taken some very nice photos. If you are interested in photography please the join the group. It is very active and members on in the process of submitting photos for the DK calendars. Looking forward to seeing lots of photos of the "Admiral" he is just so gorgeous. He and Beau would look like brothers if they were standing together! Thank you for the friend request!
