Meet Coral.

Coral is an adorable, playful, and affectionate puppy born in November 2024.

She is a Golden Retriever/Bernese Mountain Dog/ Poodle mix, aka “Golden Mountain Doodle”. This mix is known to have a very desirable temperament: gentle, playful and intelligent. Also, her coat is the non-shedding variety making her a great choice for a companion with this attribute. She weighs approximately 30lbs now and is expected to reach 50-60lbs when fully grown. 

Coral is working hard on mastering many important skills, such as potty training and walking on a leash. She is eager to please and will make great strides with positive reinforcement. Coral will do best with someone that is willing to commit to the necessary time and patience required with all the fun and challenging components of puppyhood. 

Coral quickly learned how to walk up and down the stairs, jumping on the bed, and that playing with toys is so much fun! Two of her favorite activities consist of following the other pups as they explore the backyard and fetching balls. She also likes to find and carry branches and sticks she finds on her expeditions.

Coral would do great in a home with dog/s – not sure how she is with cats. She enjoys playing with the dogs she shares home with now – she follows them everywhere, plays chase, and even steals their toys when they’re not looking. 

She loves attention and will follow their person wherever they go. 

She has sharp puppy teeth and is in the active chewing stage – she keeps busy with chew toys and needs supervision to prevent doing harm to herself or damaging items in her surroundings for the time being. We would like to place her in a home with older kids (10+) and a home with a securely fenced in yard (no invisible fences)
