Fairlie is a
labrador/
poodle mix, what they call a
labradoodle. He's meant to have the bone structure and personality of the lab, while retaining the hypoallergenicness of the poodle. His weight tops in at just over 45 pounds. He's multi-generational, meaning that both of his parents were labradoodles.

Fairlie's name comes from a small town in New Zealand. We had spent the day hiking around the beautiful Mt. Cook and had a delicious meal of
Roast of the Day in the town of Fairlie. We both thought, "what a great name for a dog!" Six months later, here he is!
