My son David and his family have a non allergic dog named Lucy. She's a schnoodle. When they go away she stays with us. It did not take long for us to love her (and her breed).

Because I'm allergic to dogs, we have not had one in many many years. However, Lucy broke through and as a result I agreed to Joanne's request that we get a puppy, as long as it too was a schnoodle. Soon we had this little black ball of fuzz and we named her Charcoal.

Don't get me wrong, it is not smooth sailing, as she has to be trained and walked at all hours. Despite our initial agreement that I would not have to do anything with respect to the puppy, I soon found myself walking her on the very early shift.

One of her puppy things is that she loves to chew on everything and I soon found myself wearing my storm boots in the kitchen where she reigns.

We have lived with her for more than 3 weeks now and she sure has made a good impression (even on me).  Look at the attached picture-she is so cute

I will make periodic updates as time passes.
