Dakota

I am a GOLDEN fanatic too :) I think the combination Golden + Poodle is amazing! In terms of intelligence , Poodle is ranked as #2 , while Golden # 4. ANd both of them are excellent breeds! ThoughI guess, we all dog lovers must admit that whatever breed of dog we have, they will be the best for us!!! :)

Wish you could post more pictures of Gunnar! Post it under GENERAL topic so everybody could see it! I love to see more pictures of him! How's his temperament? Did he get the temperament of Golden or poodle?

My family calls me the rookie. I'm fairly new with my computer. I have a couple more I could post but it takes some time for me to figure the best way to do it. I also haven't gotten a scanner yet so some of my best pictures of Gunnar are not on picture cd. Anyway he is a gentle giant. Always needs to be with his family. The picture I did post is of him rafting in the pool with us. He is so gentle and happy I swear I can see him smile. He is by far the best dog I have ever owned.

He was a 5th bday gift to my son, and I wasnt a big poodle fan but I've learned what a joy that breed is. thanks for the feedback I'm glad other people are enjoying him

What a beautiful dog you are. Such an amazing mix of breeds, which works so well.

Congrats on being DOTD !!!!

I am extremely late in congratulating Dakota today. In a response to a thread about this terrific combo of dog this morning, Dakota came to my mind. I knew I remembered reading her story but apparently didn't have the time to post (I often visit Pet Talk before leaving for work). Anyway, Dakota you are just terrific. I have a standard poodle and can vouch for what terrific family dogs they are and what little **smarties** too. When you mix all of that up with the wonderful attributes of a Golden I can only imagine what a gem Dakota is. To Dakota's human - I hope you are still visiting Pet Talk occasionally and will continue to be a part of it. We'd all love to get to know Dakota and Gunnar much better!
