I didn't really get to pick Dudley. I had to answer a whole slew of questions about our lifestyle and personality and the breeder picked him for us. I was really hoping for a blue merle, but there was only one in the litter and she was keeping him. That left three brindles--the three amigos. One was going to be co-owned in hopes of becoming a show dog and Dudley came to me because of his snuggly, mellow personality, and because he was the first dog that my husband and I had had together as a family.
We drove the very long drive to pick him up and I will absolutely never forget when she pulled him backwards out of his crate! He was so many different colors and had the biggest ears and paws I had ever seen on such a little puppy. I instantly fell in love and couldn't wait to get him in the car and get him home. Unfortunately, Dudley was a bit carsick and showed his love for me by throwing up all over me repeatedly! Needless to say, it was a car ride I will never forget and I get to do it all over again in a few days when we go to pick up Maya...hopefully without the throw up!
