Welcome...Dakota!!!

Rylie's first ever Christmas present from Santa arrived a little early. She has been all smiles and giggles with the arrival of her new friend. Macy also seems excited, to an extent, and has shown sparks of energy that she has not shown in months since the passing of big dog.
Dakota is a "Goldendoodle". Her mom is a white poodle and her dad is a golden retriever. The dad's coat had a tint of red in it which appears to be the main color of Dakota's coat. We decided to go with this breed due to the fact that they have the retrievers laid back mild temperment and are great with kids, and have the poodles very little to no shedding coat.
We drove almost 3 hours to pick her up. She was born October 15th just south of South Bend, IN. We named her Dakota because it felt like we drove all the way to the Dakotas to pick her up. Her first night at home was really good. She only had a couple of accidents and pretty much slept through the night with very little crying. Hopefully, it is a sign of good things to come.
