Blueberry McGee was born July 2, 2021 in Marshall, AR. Destiny and her family bought him from Darling Doodles when he was just a baby!! He is a labradoodle (lab and poodle mix). Blueberry began training with Michelle Hill's Dog Training Academy through his early puppy years and then went to a 3 Week Advanced Board & Train in Memphis, TN at West TN K9 with the goals of basic and advanced obedience and specifically gaining skills necessary for a therapy setting. (Fun fact: one of his buddies in his training works for a sensory gym for kiddos in Tennessee!!).
