Winston is so cute! What a schmoochy face! And puppy breath! Hugs and squeezes, can't get enough of puppy love!

Yay! your own service dog! My deaf friend/asl teacher got a chihuahua with her other dogs so she could hear door bells, phones, and to draw attention if anything changed. She could just barely hear him-BARELY...but I'm not sure how her hearing husband and 4 teen aged sons functioned with that tiny drill sergeant. Also, he wouldn't be much of a service dog. I approve of the labradoodle for what it's worth. They are good, GOOD service dogs. You might get hooked on them. It's been known to happen.

Soooo, when people do these crosses, how do they decide which breed is the male and which is the female? Does it make a difference in the makeup of the pups? Also, if you breed two labradoodles, do you get a labradoodle or is it some weird offspring like what happens when you breed two hybrid fish?

Double Doodle? Or...uh, is that for real?
Will Winston be curly coated? Please correct me if I'm mistaken, but isn't the non-shedding trait only about a 50% chance?

Or like a double stuffed Oreo?

Labs are awesome dogs. We had a breeder reject Lab, he was black with brown brindle striping. His mom was in a concrete floored kennel, so no mutt got to her, all his littermates were black. I admired the "ugly" one, so she gave him to us. We had him almost 14 years. Then we got Parker, a black Lab and Great Dane cross. We lost him to pancreatic cancer at age 7. Now we have another Lab/Great Dane cross, Carson. It is hard to beat a Labrador for capacity to love and be loyal.

A Labradoodle sounds like the best of both worlds. A Labrador that doesn't shed! Wads of fur wind up everywhere! Plus poodles aren't just frou-frou dogs, they are smart, unless they have been dumbed down by breeders.

I say go for it!

This ought to be easier than milk goats! Sorry to all the goaties out there, I just can't commit to milking every day. Then all the cleanup, deal with the milk, etc..... Dogs sound better.

I think you're on to a new exciting endeavor Barb. Sounds like a lot of fun also. There was a member on here (and TEG) long ago named Peteyfoozer. She has an English Shepard for a service dog. He's an awesome animal, he does everything but read the paper to her.

that's one of the many things I love about you my twisted sister...chasing a mean rooster with a bucket ...only you can classify that as therapy...and I will truly appreciate that kind of hands on therapy per your suggestion

Make that two people who find it satisfying to school a rooster....definitely therapeutic! I like to lie in wait and attack out of the blue instead of going on the defense. I wait until he's happy, eating and otherwise innocently being a chicken, thinking he got away with asserting himself with the human...... and then I pounce and give him a lesson he never forgets. I've never have to repeat a rooster lesson.

I think it's only right to attack him while his back is turned and he's going about his chickeny business. It's playing the game by HIS rules...except I always win.

Miss @B&B Happy goats,

Congratulations on the adorable puppy! I am sure he will be wonderful! We once owned a poodle named Robbie who so smart and loving. I am sure that Winston will be wonderful for you. And Jasmine -- if I read correctly, she is already expecting puppies. Is that right? What breed will the puppies be?
