Robert is a two-year-old mini Goldendoodle who is on the smaller side for his breed. He boasts a luscious brown coat with white accents. Robert arrived in Minnesota on January 21, 2024, to enjoy his retirement from breeding. As such, he requires patience and understanding while he adjusts to being a "normal" dog. He retains some puppy energy and delights in performing zoomies in the backyard. He bonded well with his foster sister, a very laid-back 100lb yellow Lab before she was adopted. Given his nervousness about his newfound freedom, we believe he would thrive with a strong and confident resident dog. Currently, he is attached to the human mom and becomes anxious when separated from her, resulting in some whining and barking.
While the humans are away, he stays in a kennel and will bark upon their return. He also sleeps in his kennel at night, typically waking up around 6:30/7 am. When humans are present during the day, he prefers to stay close to the human mom, either sleeping at her feet while she works on the laptop or resting in the doggie bed in the same room.
He is trained to use the doggie door to access the fenced backyard for his needs. He enjoys walks and behaves well on a leash, although he may get nervous and try to flee if other dogs bark at him. He seldom urinates during walks but will defecate post-feeding. He is uncertain about car rides and is most comfortable in a small crate or on someone's lap.
At home, he coexists peacefully with cats but enjoys chasing bunnies in the backyard. He tolerates young children attempting to cuddle him and is shy around new people. He engages with toys, particularly enjoying squeaky ones after having a phase of de-stuffing them. With time and encouragement to build his confidence, Robert is eager to make a loving home his own.
