On April 8th, our family welcomed a new puppy into the family. We named her Sadie and she is a mini sheepadoodle. A sheepadoodle is a designer breed crossing an Old English sheepdog with a standard poodle. We decided on this breed for a couple of reasons:
When we arrived home, we introduced Sadie to Harley. At first, they were both very cautious of each other. But after just a little while, they both warmed up to each other and the playing commenced. They wrestle and chase each other all over the house and backyard. Harley has taught her how to navigate the terrain in the backyard and use the doggie door. Sadie has reintroduced him to the fun of digging and chewing on everything. They are both absolutely adorable together. I cannot wait to see how their friendship continues to unfold.
As for the Landers kids and parents, we are in love. Madilyn wants to hold her all of the time. She has already dressed her in baby clothes, taken her for a walk in her baby carriage and read her bedtime stories. Aiden loves to chase her. I have my lap dog, for now. And Josh has a puppy who loves to attack him on the couch as we watch shows. Now, we just need her to grow a little bit more and get her potty trained. This should be a fun ride!

- Harley is a Old English sheepdog/husky mix and he has the best temperament. We hoped this would the same for our new puppy.
- This breed does not shed, thus, tends to be good for those with dog allergies.
- This breed tends to be very gentle, playful and kind. Also, they are supposed to be good with children and other dog.
- We couldn't imagine having two dogs the size of Harley living under one roof, so we are hoping the "mini" will work perfectly.
