I finally got my puppy. I have been wanting a dog in the house for years, but Dion has allergies to dog dander. I began doing my research and found a new hybrid type of dog. It is called a Goldendoodle. It is a mix between a Poodle and a Golden Retriever. This breed is supposed to be hypoallergenic. So far, I would have to agree!!! We brought him home yesterday. Meet his parents Buttercup and Ramsey. He is a Poodle mixed with a Goldendoodle and he is really sweet. He was born on Dec.12 of last year. He is going to be a BIG dog (we expect around 60-70 lbs). Yes he is also going to be an indoor dog too. We were very lucky to get him. These types of dogs are very expensive because they are in high demand due to the fact that they are hypoallergenic and great family dogs. A WONDERFUL couple (The McDonalds)in Clovis, CA (gateway to Yosemite and about a 3 hour drive from our home), allowed us to take him to his new home. The McDonalds are wonderful people. They welcomed us with open arms and hearts and were very generous in their gift to us, we could not have afforded him without their generosity. They gave him to us along with a microchip already in him, a collar, leash, dog food, a ton of puppy toys, brush, and a notebook filled with information. He is such a GOOD Puppy!!! We are very happy to have him join our family. He is going to be my therapy dog!!! Today is a great day!!!!

If you are looking for a great hypo-allergenic family dog, and you can travel to Central California to pick one up, we both highly recommend http://www.rainbowsendpuppies.com/
