Hello! I am Roxanne, mom to Ponto the Labradoodle and Daisy the Goldendoodle. Ponto is an absolute love. He’s sweet and playful. He loves dogs and people. Daisy was less socialized due to the pandemic and barks at dogs until they approach her…then she submits, and becomes playful. We live in South Carlsbad near Ponto Beach. I’d love to get them hooked up with some play dates so they can get more social enjoyment out of their routine!
