I'd love to be your buddy!

Ben is a stunning Labradoodle who is almost 5 years old and weighs a heafty 80 pounds.  Ben was owned by a couple since he was a puppy, however, due to his energy level and a change in job circumstance, Ben needed more attention and exercise than they could provide - so they did the best thing for him.  Everyone wants a Labradoodle but they are NOT for everyone.  Ben is especially strong and very exuberant and social.  He loves to play fetch and run around in general.  Ben needs a home with a yard.  I'm sorry - it's a must.  Ben gets along great with dogs and everyone he meets but is not recommended for young kids as he jumps on people and would definitely knock them over.  Ben really needs some basic obedience training to teach him basic manners and with a dog this size and this rambunctious it's the smart thing to do.  Ben needs regular exercise on a daily basis - and a lot of it.  Please stop and consider if you can really spend the time that this dog requires before you apply for him.
