Maccabee is large medium-sized labradoodle with an even bigger personality. She has a dark caramel, open curl fleece coat and a beautiful square conformation. She is 20” tall and weighs 45 lbs. Her sweet and gentle nature has had a calming influence on our family, though her expressive and playful nature makes outings a joy. She loves the great outdoors from hikes through the North Carolina Appalachians, to quiet trips to the dog park. Maccabee is a great runner, and enjoys playing ball with her older brother Getty. She is extremely curious and friendly towards dogs and people alike, spending time to greet everyone she meets – frequently going so far as to request belly rubs from complete strangers. She particularly enjoys meeting people wearing shorts or those who have donned scarves, meeting a scarf-wearing person in shorts would make her day. Maccabee is eager to please, and learns very quickly, though is more praise-oriented than treat-oriented. While alert and protective, she will generally give new people and dogs the benefit of the doubt. After a long day of meeting new people and playing catch, Maccabee is a very quiet indoor dog. She happily entertains herself by chewing on her toys or teasing her older brother. In the evenings, she is content to just curl up beside her human companions on the couch for some Netflix before bed.
