Meet Copper!

To distract me from the two week wait (TWW) to see if the frozen transfer worked, we decided to get a mini Golden Doodle (F1B - 75% poodle, 25% golden retriever) and named him Copper.  We named him that because he has darker ears and I work at Kennecott Utah Copper.

Isn't he cute?

He won't actually sleep on his bed, but likes to be touching it.

His first bath!  He did so well!

Right after the vet.

We bought him from a lady named Emily that lives in Pleasant View.  She had so many dogs at her house.  She had two litters of 8 puppies each, plus other Bernedoodles and poodles.  All the puppies were so cute, and Copper was the smallest one.

We chose this breed because of their less chance of shedding.  A full on poodle has hair, not fur, and doesn't shed at all.  He is 75% poodle and hopefully has a good chance of not shedding too bad.  Nate's mom is allergic, and so far has done ok with him.  She hasn't held him, but she has been around him and hasn't had a reaction to him.

Copper has such a personality.  When we leave him in his crate for too long, he barks an angry bark when we let him out.  He also has a stuffed duck that is bigger than him that he loves to play with.  My sisters call him their Nephuppy.
