A friend of a friend was looking to re-home her 1 year old golden-doodle. Same breeder and same size (well close, he's 10 pounds heavier) as Annie. I went to pick him up and the kids were downstairs playing. They came up and surprise!! Gus was there!!
We've now had Gus for almost two weeks and he's been pretty great! Annie and him get along great and they romp all day long! Gus came to us pretty shaggy and matted, so we had to get him cleaned up. The first night we had him he got a whack hair cut. His hair was too matted to get thru it very good. Then he got a bath and all cleaned up. A week later, Mike gave him another hair cut and now he's looking good!
Our only complaint about Gus is he is a "happy pee-er." He pees when anyone new walks in the house. Annoying! He's getting better with us, we aren't as exciting anymore. He only pees about 30% of the time for us now. We've had to train the kids to come in calmly and ignore him, so we don't excite him too much when we get home. This has been an adjustment, as we use to come in hooting and hollering and pumping Annie up. Now we have to come in so boring.....
Gus is getting trained on the electric fence this week, so his world is about to get even better!!
Shaggy Gus, I'm not sure he could even see through all that hair!!!
Annie and Gus meeting and playing for the first time......
Phase 1 hair cut......
Phase 2.....all done, except a few matts that still need a little work or might just end up having to be cut out.
