Description
Ulrich is a four and a half year old medium-sized poodle/lab mix. He loves to run around in the backyard playing catch with the frisbee or chasing a ball and is excited to put his smart brain to the test learning new skills. He gets especially excited when it rains, because he loves to splash around in the puddles, though the garden hose can provide similar amounts of water-related fun.
He is very sweet, always excited to greet you when you get home from work, and likes to thoroughly inspect incoming mail and packages. He hasn’t met a fruit or veggie he doesn’t like, though carrots, broccoli, and strawberries are his favorites.
Ulrich can appreciate other dogs from a distance, but he would be much more successful as an only dog. It can take a bit for him to warm up to strangers, except at the vet, where he has been thrilled to see all the technicians since day one.
Ulrich is a very good boy who appreciates routine and the comforts of home, wanting nothing more than to curl up on the couch in the evening and watch some TV after a rousing game of fetch or tug of war. He is neutered, micro-chipped, and up to date on all his vaccinations. He has a protein allergy, so he requires a special diet (he’s done really well on Royal Canin’s Hydrolyzed Protein food). He has also been taking Fluoxetine for a year and a half but is a really good pill taker with a little peanut butter for encouragement.
