We had to give up our last dog some 5 years ago due to it having a jeckyll and hyde personality where it would be the most placid and docile dog while we were around, but we received continual reports that she would bark at and attack neighbours when we weren’t at home.  Hard to believe at first, but it continued until the point we were told that she needed to be muzzled and kept behind high fences with dangerous dog signs.

After holding off for some years, we feel that we are settled down sufficiently now to get ourselves another dog.  This time, we have chosen to buy an Australian Labradoodle.  They are hypo-allergenic (important for me) and well-tempered dogs.  So on that note, I’d like to introduce Mocha*

Mocha is a little boy, born on the 17th Feb.  We pick him up this week some time.  he is a small dog - will grow to 40-41 cm.  We wanted a bigger dog, but our landlord conceded only once we agreed to a small dog.

We are all very excited.

We were originally going for a different breed, but decided it was too ugly in the end. (WARNING: don’t click that link over lunch)

* Mocha is pronounced moh-kah (mk), for all you uncultured Australian’s who think otherwise.  And on that note, mocha is originally a type of pure, rich arabian coffee, not the sickly coffee/chocolate blend correctly called Café mocha or moccacino.
