Watson – Australian Labradoodle
Name: Watson
Breed: Australian Labradoodle
More information about this dog
Watson is a 3-year-old mischievous Australian Labradoodle male. He creates smiles wherever he goes due to his good looks & funny antics.
Pet Acting / Modelling Ability
He is well socialised & used to travelling on trains & buses & loves new places & adventures. He is used to posing for the camera since his owner is a pet photographer!
Watson can respond to commands to both voice & hand signals & from a distance. He will also work with strangers following commands with no issues. He is very food motivated & picks up new skills easily. His handler is also a trainer & can teach Watson new skills on request with notice.
He is non-plussed about humans but will sit patiently whilst children pat him & he is suitable to work with both. He is dog-friendly but cats are his number 1 enemy! In all, he is a very chilled pet & other dogs are never threatened by him. He has also helped several children get over their fear of dogs.
