Barkley
13-month-old miniature goldendoodle, 25 pounds
Barkley lives on Capitol Hill with owner Stephanie
Weir and a three-year-old flame-point Himalayan cat
that’s his wrestling partner. “The cat attacks him, and
he attacks the cat,” Weir says. Barkley’s father was a
sire with a West Virginia breeder, Fox Creek Farm,
that claims to be one of the first to create the golden-
retriever/poodle hybrid; Barkley had the same
distinctive red fur as his dad. “I don’t think it’ll fade,”
Weir says. “I love it.”
Washingtonian Magazine ran a "cutest pet" contest for the month of February, 2008. Out of 3000 entries, Barkley won by more than 400 votes! He is an F2 mini Goldendoodle out of Daisy and by Chester. Below is the picture and biography that appeared in the Washingtonian Magazine. The April issue further below announces his achievement with more about Barkley.
