More: We love our hikes and are always on the go! Take us anywhere and as long as we are with you you’re gonna be safe. We are happy and outgoing and match our respective breed dispositions perfectly. And YES, we are love birds!! During this particular hike, Holly removed snakes from our path - totally a poodle thing ... whack, whack, toss. Then Bentley stopped us on the path, standing stalk still - would not let me pass. Off in the distance there was a smallish bear. Once it wandered off over the hill Bentley was good with moving forward. OES are amazingly protective herders.
