When it came to discussing getting a new pet for our family, Josh and I had many discussions over which breed to get. He was used to BIG dogs (he just had to put to sleep his best friend Nich, a Siberian Husky) and wanted another dog like him. However; we live in a smallish townhome and don't have a yard for an outside dog. I feared that the dog would completely DESTROY our small back patio.
I had seen pictures of goldendoodle pups and fell in love with their teddy bear like qualities. I started doing research and found a breeder in the area.
Benefits of a goldendoodle:
1. GREAT family pet. They are good with children (which is a MUST since I will (hopefully) be having my own in the next 3-5 years or so).
2. Hypoallergenic. If you know me, you know I struggle with sinuses. Anything can trigger them and I worried that a dog who sheds would keep me sick all of the time. Goldendoodles are perfect for me.
3. They are supposedly VERY smart and LOYAL. I like that.
4. They are BIG dogs (Hudson will be around 50 lbs). Even though they are big, they are big giants. Being a big dog is a plus for Josh. He didn't want a froofroo dog, like my Stella.
5. They don't shed! This goes back to the hypoallergenic. I can't deal with a house full of dog hair.
6. They are ADORABLE!
So, we are all very excited about Hudson and I can't wait until we break him of his bad habits (especially potty training). This is a new ball game for me and I am learning as I go. Pray that I stay sane these next few months ;)
Here's our sweet family. I'm holding Stella (my adopted maltese mix) and Josh holding Hudson the day we brought him home!)
