Here's Koda!
She is half Newfoundland (father) and half Golden Retriever (mother). They were an "accidental" breeding and a rescue in a nearby town took them in when they were 5 weeks old. They said her mother was very sweet but they weren't able to interact with the father but did say he was black. She is nine weeks old and we brought her home last night. She has been wonderful and hasn't had very many accidents. She whines when she has to go potty and she even held it overnight. Koda absolutely adores my daughter (and vice versa). On the ride home last night she sat with her head on my daughter's lap the entire car ride home. She is very calm but playful. Koda is exactly what I was looking for in a puppy, I'm so glad I found her. I can't think of a better combo of breeds. She has the newfie coat and most of her littermates had the golden coat. I currently live in Houston where it is very hot and humid and you can tell she doesn't like the heat much. When I walk her she seeks out the shade and just lays there, it is so cute. We are moving to Arlington, TX in the next couple of weeks and luckily it is a bit less humid there. I am planning on getting her a wading pool so she can cool off on hotter days.
Our dog, Lucy, loves her but the kitty is keeping her distance. My husband agrees she's the best puppy. He is so glad we were able to find a newfoundland in rescue in Texas (not too common here) and he totally adores Goldens.
Anyhow, just wanted to show off our new addition.
