Cody was the "social director" at our San Gabriel House Bed and Breakfast in Georgetown who greeted arriving guests, and, on occasion, pushed open the dining room door to join them at breakfast. In the time we lived there with him, he made friends all over our neighborhood and with guests from all over Texas and the US.

Last October, we sold our B&B in Georgetown and moved to Austin, and in four months, Cody has acquired fans all over THIS neighborhood. His size, good looks, well-mannered style, and gentleness make friends for us and for him wherever we go. I don't have a picture of him that I can email you, but when I do, I'l send it. GRR fans can find him as a calendar pin-up in the 2004 calendar; I believe he appeared in wildflowers. Sue Wiley

Cody was aptly named by his previous family, we assume for Cody Bear. He has a huge head and incredible coat that make him look much larger than he really is. Gentle Ben would have worked too, as he is so sweet and tender.

He's 4-1/2, weighs 75lbs. His problems are minimal and temporary. He obviously lived outdoors as his coat is extremely thick and dry. We've spent hours trying to get the mats out and have him on an oil supplement to bring some shine back. He also had a few accidents in the house but quickly learned what a "good potty" is, and since he loves to be called a "good boy", has not had any accidents since his first few days. We also thought he was going to be a problem walking on a leash, since he pulled so badly at first. But, within a week he got the hang of that too. He is so smart and has an incredible need to please you.

We have not seen him around cats so can't comment on that, but we do know that he grew up with children in the family, and the few we've come in contact with, he's been very sweet to them. He mingles well with people, likes other dogs and gets along well with them, adapts quickly to new places, is calm at the vet, rides great in the car and sleeps quietly at the side of the bed.

With lots of love and some time and training, he will be an absolutely remarkable dog. He's pretty extraordinary just as he is now.

Oh yeah, he loves hugs and likes to be kissed on top of his head.
