Bridget
Bridget is our sweet Goldendoodle girl! Read her story on our "Miracle Puppies" page.
I cannot say enough good things about this wonderful dog. She is one of Holly and Indy's puppies, from their second litter, and she has the sweetest temperament. She is so loving, devoted, intelligent, obedient and affectionate. And she absolutely adores children. Bridget is definitely the whole package!
Bridget is a wonderful addition to our family. She absolutely adores us, and the feeling is mutual.
Bridget is very devoted and loyal to her family. She has been the easiest dog we've ever owned to house-train---in fact, she never had an accident after she was allowed to start going outside at about four weeks old! I am working with Bridget to train her for her CGC test, which I hope to take with her this year, so that she can begin her work as a therapy dog. When we are out for a walk, she is friendly, and exceptionally welcoming to children. At home, she is an excellent watchdog, just like her daddy.
Bridget sheds very little, leaving puffs of hair where she sleeps, but other than that shedding pretty much the way that people (and poodles) do. When we bathe her, or brush her, she loses the loose hair. She has been our test-dog for families with allergies, and even people with fairly severe dog allergies are not allergic to her!
I believe that Bridget is going to be a blessing to many people...she already is for us!

This is a pleasant way to wake up in the morning. :)

When she was born, Bridget was as black as any of the puppies.

Did someone say bath?! Or look at the bathtub?! Or leave the bathroom door open?! I'm in!!!

Bridget (left) is a silver goldendoodle. Indy (right) is her father, and he's a black poodle with chocolate undertones. Here you can see what a big difference there is betweent their coat colors!
Never one to break the law, Bridget realized that she is under eight, and therefore still needs a booster seat. What she doesn't realize is that she's not a person. :)

Bridget's Engagements
Bridget is working hard in her therapy training. In October 2011, she visited an elementary school, to demonstrate what therapy dogs do (she was a last minute stand-in for our working therapy dog, Hayden, who was not feeling well that day). She was great, and really enjoyed meeting and interacting with all of the kids. She is going to be an awesome therapy dog!
In early June, Bridget went to church, to be a demonstration dog for the kids. She did great, and absolutely loved it. Kids are her favorite thing, and we're confident that she is going to be a great therapy dog.
We hope to have Bridget tested for her Canine Good Citizen certifcation before the end of the year. Check back for updates!
