We wanted to share a picture of Dakota (also answers to Coda and Buddy) with you. He is about 6 years old (56 pounds), and adopted from Mollys Place. His name at your rescue was Benson at the time of the adoption. At the time of adoption he was shy and took his food into a private corner to eat. Soon after adoption he became very outgoing and friendly. We have a second dog which is a labradoodle from a good breeder named Annabelle. Annabelle is now over 7 years old (87 pounds) and cost $1200 after a steep discount because she was black and not enough people would accept black Labradoodles because everyone wanted cream and tan colored ones. Today the two dogs are inseparable. They eat, sleep, play, run, and go to the groomer together. It is the first time we ever had two dogs together. It is great! They keep each other company if we leave the house which virtually eliminates destruction except that Dakota eats anything paper or plastic. Just keep trash and the newspaper away from him. They also exercise each other by running and playing ""dog tag"". They also have friendly ""fights"" and both win because Annabelle is bigger, stronger, and heavier. She can easily knock Dakota down or roll him over - IF she catches him. Dakota is much faster and can dodge and weave, and stop on a dime. They are well matched for being so different. This photo was taken today after returning from the groomer. He is beautiful, isn't he? He has a liver nose and pink skin. Annabelle is a blue- black which is a black coat with light blue skin. Together they are a striking pair.
