D'Artagnan the Labradoodle

OK, so what is a labradoodle? First, he is our new dog. Second, they are a mix between a labrador and a standard poodle. The idea being that you decrease the sheding of the lab while getting the good traits of both dogs. D'Artagnan (the 4th musketeer) is our first puppy. We have done "rescue" dogs in the past. He is now 3 months old and as active as a 2 year-old. I have to admit that although I'm not much of a dog person, he is cute and I'm making an effort to interact with him and enjoy him. Lori is spending a lot of time doing proper training and it has paid off. Here are few pictures of dear little(but getting huge) D'Artagnan. I am amazed the the information that dogs get from smelling things. At the ball park the pup looks like he is in heaven by smelling just a bunch of gravel. Of course he can identify who and when. He has been sleeping in his kennel in Charles' room. We tried a couple of nights in an extra bathroom, but he fussed terribly. As soon as he went in Charles' room he sleep without problems. Lori has him going to the back door when he needs to go out...if we ignore him we pay for it within a couple of minutes.
