Story
Meet Crash — and yes, the name is self-descriptive.
Crash is a gorgeous 1-2 year old Standard Poodle who weighs in at 54 pounds... although his felt weight is approximately that of a linebacker coming in hot.
This boy is HIGH energy, incredibly sweet, ridiculously affectionate, and always ready to participate in whatever you're doing. His favorite activities include: running, playing, cuddling, enthusiastically greeting people, and occasionally forgetting that personal space is a thing.
Crash is going to need an active adopter who understands Standard Poodles and is ready to keep his brain and body busy. He's smart, eager to please, and already has some good training under his belt. He walks pretty well on leash, knows basic obedience, and even knows how to shake with BOTH paws. In fact, he will happily offer up a paw at mealtime like he's negotiating his dinner contract.
He does need some help with the concept of boundaries and, more importantly, safe play. Crash is a big, bouncy boy who sometimes seems to believe everyone else is participating in his personal Poodle Olympics. Small children should be supervised around him, and honestly... some medium-sized adults might want to exercise caution too.
Crash has a prey drive and is VERY interested in rabbits on walks. The resident cats have also made it abundantly clear that they are not accepting applications for a new roommate. With experienced handlers and careful supervision, interaction may be possible, but Crash definitely cannot be trusted to make his own decisions around small animals.
He has met lots of other dogs and has done wonderfully with them. Again, though, he needs someone willing to teach him appropriate play because his enthusiasm occasionally exceeds his understanding of the rules.
Underneath all that glorious chaos is an incredibly loving dog. Crash is sweet, cuddly, affectionate, and completely ready to be your adventure buddy, couch companion, personal space invader, and 54-pound lap dog.
This poodle boy is ready for someone who will continue helping him become the amazing dog we know he can be.
Looking for a dog with personality? Crash has enough for three.
If you're active, experienced with the breed, and think you can handle the linebacker in a poodle suit, Crash might be your guy.
