Rufus is a 2.5 year old labradoodle.

Rufus has mild hip dysplasia and will need quality food and joint supplements along with regular exercise for the rest of his life.  
 
Approximately 65 lbs.  
Potty trained and crate trained.
Slow to warm up to people but you are his best friend once that trust is established!  Needs a home with low traffic/few visitors as he is unsure of new people entering his  home.
Prefers to be an only dog but may get along with a very submissive female dog (he gets along with his submissive foster sibling).  
Gentle with good manners, had has some basic training such as sit and proper leash walking.
He would benefit from a basic training class to learn basic commands in addition to the socialization aspect of it.
Would not do well in an apartment/condo.
High exercise needs.  
LOVES to play ball!  
Would not do well with children under the age of 6.
