But my wife didn't want to deal with the hair again. So she found this Labradoodle pup in a near by town. Joie a female, mother is Labrador, father a Standard Poodle. Her characteristics are Poodle like long ears, a shaggy coat and she has a thinner Lab like tail that she holds like a Poodle at times. She has really big feet and long legs. We have been her parents for three weeks today. When I carried her on the first day to the car I was able to cradle her in both arms, no more, she's grown quite a bit, twenty five pounds last Monday. I have trouble picking her up because of her length. anyway we love her and she so far hasn't shed. Taking her to a training class next week, wife insists.
