Mozzie is a very sweet loving 7 1/2 year old Golden Doddle to people he knows. He is calm and very loyal. Positive traits: Calm, loyal, snuggly, obedient, well trained, very protective, fierce bark, does well will vet visits and being kenneled when we go on vacations. He is trained to either be in a crate or free in the house when we are not home (just don’t leave the bread or sweet out on the counter😀) Negative Traits: Does not do well with little ones or strangers He does not have a mean nature…he just thinks it’s his job to protect. He loves walks but will feel the need to protect if man that is a stranger approaches. He’s only ever bit 2 men. Both times it was when he was leached on a walk when the men approached us to closely. (Both men were warned not to get close 🤣) He adjusts well to people coming over as long as we 1st put him in the bathroom and then let him out once people are settled in the home. He is literal the best dog we have ever had. The reason
