Description
Dog Breed: Poodle (Standard) / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (medium coat). Name: Chance Sex: Male Estimated Age: About 4 years old Best Guess for Breed: Labradoodle Mix Weight: About 60 lbs Lives With: Dogs, cats and people! Housebroken? He’s housebroken. Story: Chance was rescued from a shelter in North Carolina with sister Casey. We are so happy to have him safe and sound in a foster home in the DC area now. Chance is a happy sweetie who loves people and gets along great with other dogs and puppies. He knows just how to get comfortable up on the couch with his humans, and will love to join you on walks and trots around the neighborhood. Chance is just looking for someone to be his new best furend and we know that he will repay them with endless amounts of love and tail wags. Like all dogs, Chance will need an adopter who is committed to setting him up for success by enrolling in obedience training and exercising him both mentally and physically. He will also need love, patience, and socialization in order to thrive! What my foster says: Chance is a very loving, goofy, good boy. He loves to snuggle up on the couch with his humans, and would always prefer to be wherever his humans are. He loves walks, and is easy on the leash. He's potty trained, good in the crate, and gets along with the two dogs in his foster home. He's been easy and friendly interacting with other dogs and kids. He would likely be good with cats with a proper introduction. He's learning some of his basic obedience, like sit, lie down, etc. He's treat motivated, so can pick up training easily. An obedience class would do wonders and he'd definitely be top of his class. He loves playing fetch, although sometimes has poor coordination and will lose the ball, but he'll happily return back to you requesting you to throw another one. He's tried catching balls, but is terrible at it. Leapt for one once, missed the landing and face planted (he's okay). He loves to be a shadow, and will curl up next to you or under you if he can. As a bigger dog, he can curl up into quite the small ball just to be where you are. If you work from home, he's also happy to rest his head in your lap, and get head scratches. Generally he's pretty calm. All Chance really wants is love. And treats. Definitely treats. The fee to adopt Chance is $475. That covers the cost of his neuter, all his vaccines, the collar he’s wearing, his transport to DC and his care in his foster home. He’s up to date on all age appropriate vaccines. If you think that Chance might be your perfect match, apply today!

Breed overview
Overview:
The Labradoodle is a mix between the Labrador Retriever and the Poodle. Both breeds are excellent for children and families. The Labradoodle became known in 1988, when Australian breeder Wally Conron crossed the Labrador Retriever and Standard Poodle at the Royal Guide Dogs Associations of Australia in Victoria. Conron's aim was to combine the low-shedding coat of the Poodle with the gentleness and trainability of the Labrador, and to provide a guide dog suitable for people with allergies to fur and dander. Sultan, a dog from this litter, displayed all the qualities Conron was seeking and worked as a guide dog for a woman in Hawaii for ten years. Although Guide Dogs Victoria no longer breed Labradoodles, they are bred by other guide and assistance dog organizations in Australia and other places. The Association for the Blind of Western Australia has introduced Labradoodles into their training program, and their first, Jonnie, graduated in November 2010. Labradoodles are now widely used around the world as guide, assistance, and therapy dogs as well as being popular family dogs. The Norwegian Royal Crown Prince and Princess own a Labradoodle.
