Abstract: The aim of the Degenerate Objects around Degenerate Objects (DODO) survey is to directly image very low mass (≥ 2MJup) common proper motion companions in wide orbits around nearby white dwarfs. These proceedings contribution presents detailed results for three interesting white dwarfs from this survey and briefly describes the results from 19 other northern hemisphere and equatorial white dwarfs. So far, these results are consistent with the conclusions of McCarthy & Zuckerman (2004), that no more than ~ 3% of stars harbour 5-10 MJup planets in wide orbits.
