Labradoodles Discussion Forum - A friend for Doogie

Hi Sue
I'm glad to hear Doogie is going well. Blue's puppies were all great and hopefully the fact that Doris is still going at 14 - although very slow and very fat - is a good sign for his prospects for longevity.
Most people report that their dogs get a new lease on life with the arrival of a puppy - although I think some dogs also resent the intrusion. I would suspect that Doogie would be pretty happy at the prospect.
I wonder if anyone else has experience with this?
all the best
Kate

      Thanks for your reply. It is rather confusing what is best. Doogie is the most wonderful dog he has just the best personality . He really loves people and he loves other dogs as well. I don't want to ... more
