I realize this is not a poodle but I figured I would use the network I built with my poodle program to present to you this incredible puppy I’ve had the pleasure to work with.
- NAME OF DOG -
Benji
Location:
Bushnell, FL (pick up required or delivery can be arranged for a fee)
Rescue Dog?: (yes/no)
Yes and no, he was rescued under 6 weeks old from someone and came to me around 10 weeks
Breed/Mix:
Embarked; will post the link in comments
Age:
15-16 weeks old
S*x:
Male
- Who evaluated the dog? -
Me
- What is the experience of the evaluator? -
15 years of puppy raising and dog raising experience
Strengths:
Item retrieval! (He will put anything in his mouth and it is soft, this has been getting free shaped and no formal commands yet but he loves it)
Great recovery if startled
Easy going temperament
Great with kids, cats, other dogs, chickens, ducks and geese. Has been around horses.
Loves the water
Potty trained to age appropriate levels
Crate trained
Leash trained
Weaknesses:
He’s a softer dog
Sometimes barks in the kennel due to fomo but not hard to remedy this and I’m still actively working on it
Other Info:
Officially, Benji has been with me for 4 weeks but he is being placed with a standard 2 week board and train for puppy kindergarten completed. He’s technically gotten way more than that because I treat him like one of my own dogs, but his value is placed at the rate for that. If he is not placed within the next two weeks, I will begin the next portion of his training and his value will increase.
I am really hopeful that I can place him as a service dog prospect as I truly feel he will thrive here, and he already naturally has item retrieval skill, and I believe that this can be easily shaped into more tasks.
Benji has gone paddle boarding and been inside dog friendly stores as well as attended work with me at a veterinary clinic.
Benji is very gentle and doesn’t offer to bite or jump when with someone, this nature also would make him a great therapy dog for kids or elderly people. He is not a big chewer, but does enjoy an appropriate chew sometimes. He has a very soft mouth!
Benji would probably enjoy sports and does enjoy the water. He would likely make an incredible obedience dog.
He is really such an incredible, funny puppy that will fit into any household beautifully. He blends into our pack so well already!
I have tons of video footage of him I will send to interested parties. Please send me a message or comment here for me to message you if you are seriously interested.
