Meet Scrappy, your ultimate adventure buddy! This handsome 12-month-old Goldendoodle, weighing around 45 pounds, is a delightful mix of intelligence, athleticism, affection, and playful puppy energy. Scrappy is always ready for whatever comes next, whether it's a trip to the lake, a hike, playing fetch in the yard, or hitting the road for a weekend getaway. He absolutely loves water – pools, hoses, and even puddles are his happy place!
Scrappy is a smart cookie and already knows an impressive array of commands, including "Sit," "Down," "Wait," "Say your prayers," and "Shake" (both paws!). He's highly motivated by both food and toys, which makes training a breeze. His favorite game is fetch, and he's working on his "drop it" command, picking up new skills quickly because he's so eager to please. He's also a great car rider, jumping in and ready for his next adventure.
Ideal Home
Scrappy would thrive in an active home with a family who enjoys hiking, camping, traveling, or swimming. He'd also be happy with someone who simply wants a best friend to join in on the fun. Due to his excitement around cats, we recommend either a home without cats or one with an experienced owner who can help him learn gentle manners around feline friends.
Ongoing Health
Scrappy is up-to-date on all his vaccinations and is microchipped.
Training & Support
Scrappy is potty trained and crate trained. While he's working on his greetings and can sometimes get a little too excited and jump up to say hello, he's learning that calm behavior earns affection and is making great progress with his transition leash and pressure-point training. He is also learning to be more gentle around cats when they run, as he simply sees them as part of a game and has never shown aggression.
