About Me:: My husband and I have 3 boys and 1 daughter, ages 10-3. We just lost our 13 yr old lab, Trotter. He was an awesome dog, and we all miss him desperately! We have a 1 yr old labradoodle, Tegan. She's too good to be true! She's wonderful with our kids (and others), and LOVES other dogs. She even gets along with dogs, who don't get along with other dogs! She's great! We'd love to get one more. And a rescue would be perfect for us, as I'm not all that interested in going through the "puppy stage" again... :)

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 1 yr old labradoodle, Tegan. We got her from a breeder. She was born in a beautiful home, and we were able to meet her mother. She's very smart, and was easy to train. She's calm, but very playful! She loves to run, and play outside.

Why did you choose a doodle rather than another breed or mix?: We loved our lab so much. He had a great disposition! But we didn't love the shedding... So we felt with the labradoodle we could get a dog with a wonderful disposition that didn't shed!

What are Your Favorite Things to Do With Your Doodles?: Play outside! She love to play fetch, and she's a big fan of digging. We tried to introduce her to our pool, but she seemed apprehensive. So we are letting her explore that on her own, we don't want up push her.

Who grooms your doodle(s)?: There is a groomer at our vet. It's called Wellington Pet Hotel and Soa.
