We spend significant time (multiple hours) daily with our Goldendoodle puppies. We watch how they interact with their siblings, how they act when left alone, how enthusiastic they are when a human comes into sight, whether they are prone to sticking close together during outdoor free time or exploring on their own, how long it takes them to learn to settle once excited, how fast they learn new things such as come or sit, how they handle being held, their responsiveness level, their reaction time, their tolerance to things such as noise or restraint, etc.
Besides being enjoyable, this time investment allows us to get to know their personalities well and to be very familiar with each puppy’s different quirks, which helps us to fit a puppy with the specific needs and desires of you and your family.
Are you looking for an outgoing, confident dog that’s always up for outdoor adventures? A little snuggler that will bond closely and go wherever you go as a one person companion dog? A quiet lounge-about, easy-going and chill to stretch out at your feet with all of your grandkids? An active dog that will keep up with your busy, young family? Are you hoping to train your dog as a therapy support dog? (Several of our puppies have gone on to successfully train for therapy and service dog roles.) Are you interested in doing dog agility, and looking for a smart dog with plenty of bounce that will thrive on learning new things? Do you do a lot of traveling? Hiking? Swimming? Do you often host parties?
There are key features that we can look for to fulfill your needs in finding the best dog to fit your lifestyle. Schedule a call to discuss what type of personality you are looking for in a dog for you and your family. We are happy to explore the possibilities with you!
