Goofy
AKC Registered Poodle
Meet Goofy! This charming boy has been an integral part of our breeding program for quite some time, and it’s easy to see why. He’s our go-to stud for producing large, stunning Bernedoodle puppies with the quintessential teddy bear look. His puppies are consistently adored for their affectionate temperaments, impressive size, and soft, straight coats.
Goofy’s offspring typically grow to an average adult weight of about 70 pounds, with a gentle, calm demeanor that makes them perfect for families. They inherit the striking Bernese tan points and sport beautiful, silky coats that only get better with age. Standard Bernedoodles, like Goofy’s pups, are renowned for being particularly laid-back and easygoing, making them excellent family companions.
As for Goofy himself, he is a very special boy. He has excelled through our training program, demonstrating a natural ease and joy in working alongside people. He’s a mellow, well-mannered boy who loves nothing more than car rides and spending time with his family. Weighing in at around 50 pounds, Goofy carries himself with the grace and gentleness you would expect from such a calm and loving dog.
Goofy is in excellent health with no known concerns. Regarding his genetic profile, Goofy does carry a copy of PRC (Progressive Retinal Atrophy), a common trait found in many Poodles. However, since the Bernese females we breed him to are clear of this condition, Goofy will not pass it on to his puppies. Both parents would need to be carriers for the condition to be passed on, so there is no risk for Goofy’s offspring.
Overall, Goofy is the perfect match for producing sweet, beautiful Bernedoodle puppies, and we are so happy to have him in our program!
