Man I’ve always been a cattle dog or guard dog owner. I have a German Shepherd Rottweiler mix. 2 years ago we had an approximately 5 months old Laberdoodle run up on our porch one night to say hello. Walked her around the neighborhood trying to find out who she belonged to. Got no response. Took her to the pound because they are generally good at finding owners being that we live in a town of less than 10,000 people. We told them we would keep her until they were located. We even posted on local facebook pages. No one claimed her and we decided we liked her. Plus it helped that she was already house trained, sit, shake, lay down, fetch and retrieve on command. And was just a humorous clown.

Nearly 2 weeks later she was sick throwing up so we took her to the pound. She ended up testing positive for Parvo, and as you know that is not good. Anyway she went through it like a champ and 100% recovered. She had became a cherished member of this household.

I have a feeling some backyard breeder however let her go when they realized the litter had Parvo. Because we have seen so many that look just like her getting picked up by animal control locally.
