[quote=Anonymous][quote]We have a year old mini golden doodle that weighs 15-16 lbs. He still runs when you reach out to him unless he's tired. I think he thinks it's a game of catch me if you can especially if he has a ball in his mouth. He's very friendly and warm to everyone but does not always come when you call him because he may think you are going to try to catch him. I put a leash on his harnice when he's outside because he runs if you come towards him and it can take forever to get him back in the house. It becomes a cat and mouse game. I can step on the leash to catch him. I would not worry too much. [/quote]

OP here:  ours is also a F1Mini (backbred with a mini poodle) so will be medium sized.  This description sounds just like ours.  She's pretty friendly but seems to think we are going to catch her if we get too close.  She will definitely come for the leash though - I take out the leash and she comes to me because she likes her walks.  Also even when we take her to the park and go in the big tennis courts to play off leash, she will come when I call to get back on the leash, which is very surprising given that in the house she will not come to me.
