The time seemed right, and the right puppy came along, so we took the plunge....
Chappie is an F1 Golden Doodle, meaning he is a 50/50 cross between a Poodle and a Golden retriever. The interesting thing about his Poodle background is that it was not just a normal poodle, but a "parti-poodle", which are usually white with black patches. Our little guy is mainly white with reddy-brown patches. He is proving to be a very intelligent, very confident, with a nice, even temperament.
