Cassidy is an F1 mini out of Mocha and by Bam Bam. She is owned by Richard "Army" Maguire and Lisa Belitz of Urbana, MD. Army is a trainer who
has worked with animals of many kinds all over the world. His specialty has been elephants and he has established rides and shows in over 30 zoological
gardens, safari parks, and circuses training over 70 wild elephants in Africa, Canada, Puerto Rico, South America, and Thailand. He has trained baboons,
chimps, capuchin monkeys, pigs, goats, dogs, camels, horses, llamas, and large cats for movie productions. Army has a website for those interested in
training services - www.PetProjects.biz. He feels the 8-12 week stage that is avoided by most training programs is most critical time for training to begin.

...I have engaged Cassidy in learning from day one when I brought her home at 8 weeks of age. I have found that she retrieves very well...She also
was quickly crate trained and taught to walk on a lead. At 13 weeks of age she was well versed in basic obedience training. She leads and heels,
walks both fast and slow on voice cue, waits at the door and will hold any posture when told to wait (this works great when chasing the cat crosses
her mind), she sits, stands, lies down, circles around to the left side, and does all these things on cue. She will also retrieve objects and brng them
back and place them directly in my hand. When she plays tug wth a rope, she will release the object just by telling her "release". She does a variety
of cute tricks such as waves, speaks, crawls, prays, backs up, rolls over in both directions, jumps over hurdles and through a hoop. She will even
grapevine around my feet.
...I have no doubt in my mind after seeing Cassidy's willingness to learn that this young puppy will be a fine pet. Anyone looking for an intelligent
animal to be a service dog, tracker, detection dog, or working canine partner should consider this new breed of dog. All presently registered breeds
of dog started out with selective breeding. Man developed new breeds of dogs because he thought there may be a combination of traits better suited
for companionship or work. I believe the Goldendoodle has the best blend of drive, intellect, and socialiblity of any breed I have come across. They
are a joy to work with.
