Oh my god, what a stunning dog! Its coat is so shiny. What breed is it?
天哪，好漂亮的狗！ 毛好亮啊。 是什麼品種？
It’s a labradoodle – half labrador, half poodle.
是拉布拉多貴賓狗：一半拉布拉多，一半貴賓犬。
Ah, it seems they’re really popular these days. Why is that?
噢，這種狗最近好像挺流行的。 為什麼啊？
Well, they combine the best characteristics of both dogs – they’re good natured and like spending time with people like labradors, and they’re playful and intelligent like poodles. Do you have a dog?
因為它結合了這兩種狗的優點——脾氣好，也跟人親近，像拉布拉多一樣。 但是又很活潑、聰明，像貴賓狗一樣。 你養狗嗎？
I do! A wonderful little chihuahua named Rocket. He’s a sweetheart, but he barks at everything!
養啊！ 我有一條吉娃娃，叫火箭。 很討人喜歡，不過超級愛叫。
That can be frustrating, but every dog has its pros and its cons. My last dog was a husky and I had to take it walking for at least an hour a day for her to fall asleep at night! She was incredibly active.
嗯，這挺煩人的。 不過每種狗都有自己的優點和缺點。 我上一條狗是哈士奇，每天至少要溜一個小時，她晚上才睡得著。 活躍的出奇。
Haha, in that case, a loud little chihuahua is just fine for me. I can barely get him to walk around the block with me!
哈哈，看來，吉娃娃雖然吵，不過正合適我。 它根本用不著遛。
Well, as they say – there’s a perfect dog for everyone!
對啊，不是說每個人都有適合自己的狗嗎？
