Golden in Spirit! From Anonymous
February 10, 2011
BlonD is a sweet 3-1/2 year old female Golden Doodle. BlonD came to RAGOM from a family in Minnesota. She was surrendered due to her allergies. We are trying to determine if it is the typical skin allergies that sometimes occurs in poodles and goldens or is it something else. More on that as we discover what we are dealing with. She is up to date on all her shots and is microchipped. She weighs about 50 pounds.
BlonD LOVES people! She wants to be with her people. While I get ready in the morning she is in the bathroom leaning against me. While I write this, she is of course by my chair - leaning into me. She must be touching her person. She gives a lot of kisses. I am trying to teach her not to do so much licking of people's hands. She is a jumper as well. Any new person that comes to the door is greater with a hug. She should be watched around young children as she will topple them over, due to her excitement. I think she will eventually be ok with sitting nice, but she will need training. She has good recall while out playing. She comes back when called. BlonD knows sit. Not so good at stay.
She has been to beginners obedience training. I would encourage BlonD's adoptive family to go to continuing training. She loves to please and be with you. She will insert herself between you and another dog. She is not aggressive but it is obvious what she is doing. She pulls some when on a leash. She loves to ride in a car and watches out the window. She will bark when she sees people and other dogs walk past the house but will quiet down.
She loves to be brushed and play fetch. She loves to wrestle with other dogs and has many fur buddies and done really well in the introductions. She prances when running. She is very cute and soooooo happy.
BlonD will counter surf and has been known to chew on inappropriate items in the past such as a light bulb! She does get kenneled during the day and is very good about going into the kennel in the morning. She sleeps in the bedroom at night and generally in the bed right next to me. That has been nice on these cold nights.
BlonD will be at PetSmart in Plymouth on Saturday, February 12th. She should be there around 11:00.
