Dogs of Del Mar: Lola

Lola is a six-year-old mini Sheepadoodle who came to Del Mar at twelve weeks of age during the COVID epidemic. Lola has walked and explored all parts of Del Mar including the hills, the beaches, Powerhouse Park, Camino Del Mar, the Civic Center, Del Mar Plaza, and the Fairgrounds. In her younger days, she loved to run on the beach north of 29th street-chasing and being chased by other dogs. Now a bit older, she is content walking along Ocean Front and peering out at the beach and ocean from one of the beachside walls. She is probably best known for her toothy smile which can be scary if you’ve not met her before you’ll soon realize it’s an invitation to be her friend.

The local crows and seagulls are not Lola’s friends, and she truly believe she can catch one or at least put them into their place with her barking. We’ve heard that crows hold grudges but so far we ‘ve managed to avoid any bird retaliation.

Lola is keenly aware of every business that shares dog treats. She seek out those stores so she can be “rewarded.” She will perform one of her patented tricks (sit, shake, spin) as a means to the reward. And Lola thanks all of the generous Del Mar merchants for their kindness!
