hello from Orlando, Florida

[ldyharley01]

Hi fellow dog lovers!
My name is Sandie and my husband and I live in Orlando, Florida with our three dogs, Koda, a three year old male German Shepherd, Sunny, a one year old Golden Doodle, and Maggie, a two year old Sheltie/Aussie mix.
My husband has worked at Disney for thirty years as a rides mechanic and I have been at Seaworld for seven years and am a scenic artist and part time dog trainer.
Our joys in life are riding our motorcycles, working on home projects and playing with our dogs. My husband loves to rebuild cars as a hobby and currently is rebuilding a 914 Porche and a 944 Porche.

Nice pictures of your dogs. I have always wanted to restore an old truck. I just don't have the patience. Probably why I am a border collie person:) What is the temperment of the Golden Doodle? What type of training do you do?

I apologize for not responding to your question when you asked it. I just now had a chance to sit down and actually use my computer for pleasure instead of work!!
Thank you for your compliment on the photos of my dogs.
The temperament of my doodle is, let's see....
Like a tornado
Like a whirlwind
Like a little terror
Like a train out of control
Like a clown
Like a two year old toddler, into everything
Like a sweet little angel
Like a soft, cuddly teddy bear

I don't know how other doodles are but my Sunny can be such a pain but such a love all at the same time. She loves people and other animals, wouldn't harm a flea (well, maybe a flea), is super curious about everything. She loves to play in her water bowl, loves to dig holes in my back yard, loves to carry around sticks that are actually small logs, doesn't mind taking a bath, loves to play in the hose, loves to get a big drink of water then plop her face on my clean clothes. She loves to romp, run, play, chase my other dogs and bite them 'lovingly'.
Sunny is smart like Poodles are. She was housebroken at around 12 weeks, learned her name in about two days, learned to ring a bell to go out in about ten minutes and knows how to get out of her wire crate.
As for the type of training I do..
I teach basic obedience.
