Canoe was a go to sire for creating golden doodles sold all over the DC area. If you had a Canoe puppy, you had status. But no one stopped to meet Canoe. If they cared, they would have found a despairing poodle locked away, his only life recreating. When the breeder declared after six years of misery that Canoe was no longer cooperating, FOACAS rescued him. Canoe did not know grass. He did not know how to walk. He did not know people. One of our wonderful fosters worked with him for weeks, and one magical day, a standard poodle-loving family adopted him. Canoe was finally saved.
