Steve Brady Standard Poodle & Labradoodle Mix Los Alamitos, CA

Please read the dog's entire bio before you apply. Sadly, we are no longer able to respond to every application, but if your application appears to be a good match for the dog we will reach out within 3 days.
Steve Brady is a male poodle mix pup, we are told he is is 75% poodle and the rest is bernese mountain dog and st bernard.... but he really looks like a labradoodle. He has straight hair that will shed, maybe not as much a normal lab/retriever, but still he is not the "hypoallergenic" type pup. He was born 2/17/22 and very large so we guess he will mature at 65-75 lbs. Steve is a sweet boy, he bonds quickly and loves following his people around but at the same time he is very shy and sudden moves/sounds send him back to his kennel (he likes to hang out in an open kennel) or hiding spot. He is great with other dogs after he warms up to them and for him a large/calm/sweet dog in the home is a good idea as he is much more calm if he has a dog to lead the way. Steve is not super energetic, but mostly because he is timid, he will need confidence building, more training and someone with time to devote to his training. Because fast movement and sudden noises scare him, he would not be a good match for kids under 10. He does well around kitties too. He loves walks and playtime with his doggy friends, but also to snuggle at the end of the day.
