~He is Amish.
At least, that is the culture in which he was born. He and Big D had a nice long talk on our visit to pick him out and he said he was willing to join our pack...er, family... even though we do drive cars, watch t.v., and have more cell phones then kids. (At least it feels that way when the phone bill comes!)
~He is a Golden-Doodle.
Half golden retriever and half poodle for the un-initiated. Some might call him a mutt, but his price tag begs to differ. But this was extremely important to us to find a non-shedding dog (or low shedding...we shall see!).
~He is medium.
He was neither the runt nor the fattest in the litter. He wasn't the shy-est and he also wasn't the most extroverted and playful of the litter. He was right in the middle with size and personality. We have done the sympathy card before and we have fallen prey to the "cuteness" factor before. This time, we were calculating, observant, and purposeful in our choosing. (Oh, I sure hope he doesn't turn out to be a socio-pathic dog! We have done that before too.)
~He sure better be a good traveler!
'Cause we are about to spend 16 hours with him in the car and that is a heck of a long ride if the dog doesn't do motion well.
(Can I hear an Amen, Kellie?)

He is PRECIOUS!!
We're in the market for a dog. K has promised us that we can get a dog when we move. I'm very interested in the non-shedding. I had a golden and a lab before children and was not a big fan of the shedding.
How big is he supposed to get? I'll be checking back in for full reports as we research our puppy options.
Oh He's so cute. I love him already. Especially since he's YOURS!
My kids are ready to come to your house to meet him!
