Guardian Home Opportunity

Meet Colonel

BERNEDOODLE

Colonel

Colonel is a chocolate sable standard Bernedoodle we’re currently seeking the right Guardian Home for. He’s around 6 months old and expected to mature around 60 lbs.

He has a really nice, balanced temperament—easygoing overall but still enjoys playtime and being part of whatever you’re doing. He’s affectionate in a calm, steady way… more of a “lean in and stay close” type than overly excitable. Think couch companion who likes to be near his people without being over the top about it.

If you’re looking for a dog that brings a relaxed presence but still has a fun side, Colonel is a great fit.
