Story
Meet Bernie – 65 lb Wolfadoodle, Once-in-a-Lifetime Companion 2½-year-old Irish Wolfhound × Poodle | Neutered Male | Low-shedding velvet coat Bernie is the dog people stop on the street to meet — tall, wavy-haired, soulful eyes, and a gentle presence that makes everyone whisper “What kind of dog IS that?!” With his family, Bernie is pure love:     •    A total velcro dog who wants to be wherever you are (preferably touching you)     •    Lives for pets, lean-ins, and quiet “I’m home!” celebrations     •    A complete gentleman when left alone — no destruction, no chewing, just waits patiently by the door for your return     •    Jumps happily into the car, head out the window, tongue flapping like a flag of joy Bernie is brilliant and highly trainable:     •    Hyper-intelligent — learns rules and commands in 1-2 repetitions     •    Respects “off furniture,” “leave it,” boundaries, etc., the moment you set them     •    Strong recall and stops mid-chase with a single verbal correction (yes, even when a squirrel or cat darts by)     •    Same with chickens — he’ll think about it, but one calm “no” and he chooses you instead Personality notes (because honesty gets the right home):     •    Shy with some new people at first, but warms up in minutes with calm introductions     •    Reactive to very loud/rambunctious kids, fireworks, popping balloons — he’s sensitive and will do best in a quieter, adult or older-kids home     •    Protective once he knows his territory — barks to alert at strangers at the door or unusual sounds (a true “I’ve got your back” guard dog without aggression)     •    Plays beautifully with other dogs and loves doggy friends Bernie’s non-negotiables for happiness:     •    A securely fenced yard for daily zoomies and fetch marathons (this young man has energy to burn!)     •    Daily walks and playtime — he’s athletic and joyful     •    A calm, loving home that understands his big heart comes in a sensitive package     •    Someone who wants a loyal shadow who chooses you over everything else in the world If you’re looking for a breathtaking, brilliant, devoted best friend who will love you harder than any dog you’ve ever met — and who just needs the right calm, active forever family to shine — Bernie is your dog. He’s truly special. He won’t last long. Apply today and get ready to have your heart permanently claimed by 65 lbs of wavy-coated magic.
