Bailey, the Labradoodle male dog at FINE-TUNED CANINES Board and Train dog training camp in Southwest Florida.

LABRADOODLE!

FINE-TUNED CANINES would like to give a warm welcome to a new Board and Train canine student here at our Florida Board and Train dog training program:

BAILEY, the Labradoodle male dog.

Bailey's simply irresistible, isn't he? He's a very lucky dog, whose owners not only rescued him, but also gave him the best gift: the gift of proper canine education and socialization.

Fast fact:

Did you know that the Labradoodle dog breed was introduced in Australia in the 1980s? The main use of the Labradoodle breed is as a guide dog and a companion.

Human-Canine-Equine friendship. Rattler the horse, Shakti the Dog and Lexi the human :)

Friendship and love are universal...This blog post will show you some amazing examples of interspecies friendships between dogs and other animals: dolphins, cats, tigers, monkeys, deer, etc. Maybe we humans can learn a thing or two from our best friends: dogs...If they can make friends with other species, why can't we? Maybe we can even be nicer to our own species...

If you have some other examples showing friendships between dogs and other species - please click on comment and add a link. Thank you!
