Meet our friend, Lip. He’s a Goldendoodle born 12/7/23. He is a sweet cuddler, who has a curious spirit and is very interested in what you are doing. Someone is home with him all day so we try to be on a schedule to go out every hour. When we derail from that plan, accidents have happened but every day gets better on the potty training front. At night, he goes into the kennel around 10-11 pm and it makes him sad for less than one minute before he settles down. Around 5:30 am he will bark to let people know he needs to go outside. He does not mind being on a tie-out but needs someone to keep him company while he is outside so we take him out on both a leash or sit outside with him on a tie-out until he is ready. He sometimes will need up to 20 minutes before he completes his business. If he is left alone for even a second, he will whine and bark to let you know he wants you to come back. During the day, he's been in a kennel for 3-4 hours when we've had to leave and it's not been an issue. He has met a few kids in the neighborhood and has played well with them. He hasn't had a ton of interaction with other dogs, but the one that he has, he has been very happy to play with and run. He hasn't met any cats while he's been with us. He enjoys going for walks and the leash is not an issue. We've been going daily and he's so interested in everything on the trail it sometimes takes him longer for us to get to where we're going. We've noticed when he is approached by an adult stranger he will bark and be very skittish. After a few moments, he lets his guard down when he realizes he has a new friend. He is currently teething so he has a small desire to nip at clothes and furniture but find that re-directing him with a small chew toy is a good option. His energy level is high when he wants to play but he also settles down well if you are willing to cuddle up. He enjoys lying on the couch with someone when he's inside. When he's outside, he loves chasing after leaves and gets excited when birds fly above him. He will make the perfect addition for anyone with his friendly personality and his adorable puppy face.
