Doodles and friends

[Jennifer Tramell]

AA couple days ago I took Webster and Charlotte down to my mom's house.  I put them in the backyard not realizing that it was already occupied by other curly haired residents, my mom's alpacas.  The alpacas don't like dogs, especially the mama alpacas with their babies.  They will usually avoid or even run off a dog - especially a dog they don't know.  Webster and Charlotte had never been in with the alpacas (they are usually in the pasture - not the backyard), so I fully expected the "girls" to be bothered by my dogs.  To my amazement, they accepted my dogs without blinking - even allowing them to sniff their butts and run around with the babies.  I really think that this is because alpacas are sight animals and my doodles looked like alpacas.

 

Did you know THEY were here?  I thought this was the DOG yard.....

 

 

Is that good?  Will you share?  Mrs. Alpaca, is there enough for us?

 

 

 

You fetch sticks too?  Cool!

 

Please post pictures of your dogs (doesn't have to be just doodles) and their non-canine friends.

Their coats are similar. Maybe they thought Web and Charlotte were just funny looking alpacas. Cute pics.

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

This is really cool!

[Pat and Traveler]

What great pictures!  Who would have thought the dogs and alpacas would get along so nicely!  This just made my morning.

[Carol and Banjo]

This is awesome!   These pictures are just beautiful!!!!!!   Especially the 2nd photo.  A lovely, peaceful setting.

[Nancie & Gracie Doodle]

That is so cool and the location is beautiful!  I love the pictures.  I think sheep would probably love our Doodles too since they also look alike...any sheep down there?

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

That is so amazing!  Get video!!!

[Jodi and Stella]

This is awesome. I have been told Stella looks like a mini alpaca! Here she is with some ferrets, she was not to sure about them!

[Jennifer Tramell]

Very cute ! If I were Stella, I wouldn't be to sure about them either :-)

oh me oh my! I'm in LOVE with these pictures! I have a secret dream to own an alpaca farm.....and my nickname is Sally-LLama....This is just fabulous. Duncan met his first horse a few weeks ago. He was leashed and the horse didn't even see him but he did the famous doodle head tilt as if to say..."wow that is a really big dog".

+1, me too! I would love to have the fiber for knitting.

[Camilla and Darwin]

OMD, that is so funny! Perhaps the alpacas were confused. I know that Darwin gets herded by Aussies every time we head to the dog park, and the owners tell me it's because he looks like a sheep. Not sure if that is true, but it is hilarious!

Just wondering.....why does your mom have alpacas?
