Hobbs
(July 4, 1994 - August 16, 2009): The Original Wet Dog and the inspiration for
our company name. Hobbs was the company mascot and was beloved by all our
customers and vendors. Originally a rescued Golden Retriever, Hobbs became
one of the most serene and intelligent dogs we ever had the pleasure of living
with. We miss him every day. 
Ailey:
Ailey joined the pack in 2004. Also a rescued Golden, she is our first Golden to
dislike water... she prefers to sit on the beach under the sunbrella watching
others go by. Ailey is known as the eternal puppy, always playful and
happy. Although Ailey is 11 years old, she still is a force to be
reckoned with and rough-houses with Duma every chance she gets. Lately she
has taken on the role of guard dog and likes to alert the pack whenever
needed. Seen here is a rare photo of her after a swim... 
Schroeder:
We adopted Schroeder from the Triad Golden Rescue Society in 2010. He
quickly became Ailey's best friend, playful yet pensive at
times. Schroeder continues the Wet Dog tradition by being a fanatical
swimmer. He is extremely obedient and intelligent. Schroeder
likes discipline and is not shy to vocalize his dissatisfaction when other pack
members are out-of-line. We often call him "the Little Sherriff"
and he quickly took on the role of mentor for Duma. Like Duma, Schroeder has
completed training/obedience classes including Canine Good Citizen. He
likes going to Triad Golden Retriever Rescue functions and volunteering at
fundraising functions. 
Duma:
Duma joined the pack in late 2011. It is amusing to see this young Russian
Wolfhound (Borzoi) adapt to living with Golden Retrievers. Under tutelage
of Ailey and Schroeder, he quickly learned all the essentials of Golden living
including retrieving tennis balls, sleeping and eating good food. The
latter includes eating a banana for breakfast every morning and begging for
fresh fruit and vegetables at every meal. Duma's demeanor is
inspiring. He likes to experience new things and quickly overcame the
typical sight hound characteristics like indifference and shyness. He is
very social, intelligent and protective. Duma enjoys his freedom but unlike most
sight-hounds he does not run away. Duma has completed therapy dog training.
He volunteers as a therapy dog at our local hospital and retirement
facility.
