Bertie the Goldendoodle Alerts Owner to Low Blood Sugar

Specially picked & trained Goldendoodle service dog

We often get requests for 'therapy dogs' or 'service dogs', and while we think we have great puppies, it is not so simple to discover who has the special traits needed to go through the training to become a service dog.  Many people think that just because the breed is smart, kind, and low shedding, it is a perfect dog for their family that might need some 'therapy' dog assistance - but, it is a complicated test that is best left to the experts.  If you are looking for such a dog, consider signing up for one of the programs that are offered - these experts not only pick a puppy out of her/his siblings, but also take them through special training to get them where they need to be.  Puppies are puppies - they will bite, nip, chase, bark, eat things, and cause all sorts of trouble and laughs.  They do not come "therapy trained".  

Here is a great story we found about a Goldendoodle puppy that was picked by the experts, and trained, for special work!  Bertie alerts his diabetic owner, who is a judge in the British courts, when her blood sugar is too low or too high.  This is interesting, cute, and should be read all the way to the end:
