COCO

Hi,
My name’s Tashi and my dog’s name is Coco.

Coco is a schnoodle (Schnauzer/Poodle cross). She was born on May 2nd, 2006 in Gippsland. She born in a litter with 10 brothers and sisters and one of her brother’s was a runt, he was half her size. Coco is about up to my knees and mostly black with a small patch of white on her chest. I chose Coco because she was the friendliest puppy of the females in the litter.

Coco will chase anything that you throw for her. She is very good at amusing herself too. She can throw the ball for herself and she likes to push the ball off our deck and then run down after it. She is a pretty good dog and doesn’t chase the birds that come to our bird feeder. She loves to have her tummy rubbed.

Coco has lots of energy and we haven’t been able to wear her out yet. Occasionally she will get into our rubbish bin and steal the scraps. Our next door neighbor is one of her favourite people as he is a butcher and gives her bones. She will never run away because if she ever does get out she goes straight into the next door neighbor’s garage.

We have been doing obedience for a year and a half now. It is really good being in the kid’s class. Coco is very good but will not lie down on wet days because she doesn’t like getting her belly wet. We have been doing agility for a year, which is a lot of fun. Sometimes when Coco gets tired she will jump over the tunnels instead of going through them. Dog class is great fun!

oooOOOooo
