THE BOYS
Humphrey
Blue Collar Male
Temperament:
Humphrey is a super sweet, playful pup that loves everyone. This boy is very confident and motivated. He is very playful and has a high human focus, very engaging with his people. He can startle from sights and sounds, but can recover well after, especially with some praise. He will be a little busy so he will need ways to have mental and physical stimulation. This boy will be great in any family situation, including kids of any age.

Matterhorn
Black Collar Male
Temperament:
Matterhorn is a very sweet, playful, highly confident pup. He loves people and is very motivated by praise, even over treats. Sights don’t really startle him, some sounds will, but he recovers very quickly and is resilient. He loves humans, and is a little assertive and mouthy sometimes, so folks will want to have toys around to play tug with a toy to help that. He will be great in any family makeup - perhaps with families with older kids since he can be a little assertive and mouthy.

Everest
Green Collar Male

Fitz Roy
Grey Collar Male
Temperament:
Fitz Roy loves his humans and gives a lot of eye contact and connection. He is very human focused, both when he feels safe, and when he is looking to recover from startling things. He can startle from noisy and fast moving things, but can be empowered to recover. He may be a little hesitant in new situations so positive reinforcement can help him gain confidence in time. He would fit well in most family situations, if the family has kids, we recommend they can gauge if he needs a break.

K2
Purple Collar Male
Temperament:
K2 is a very sweet and independent boy. He can be a little aloof and can startle a little easily, especially with sounds. He has a nice, low energy so he can be calm pretty well. He has a medium touch tolerance and is compliant, but doesn’t seek it out necessarily. Being on the sensitive side, he would fit best in a family without kids at first, to help him gain confidence in his puppy year. He will need a family who can give positive reinforcement, and someone who can really help him with training, exposing to new things, and empowering him the first year in very intentional environments. He will be great for someone who may be busy and can’t give a ton of time, as he is relatively independent and can handle that well!

10.4% Golden Retriever | 19.7% Bernese Mountain Dog | 69.9% Standard Poodle
Dark Apricot with White Blaze, Chest, and Feet; Black Nose
Curly Coat
Low Shedding, Genetically FI

Olympus
Yellow Collar Male
Temperament:
This sweet boy loves everyone and is very confident and playful. Not much phases or scares him and he is very resilient. He loves playing, and loves humans even more-it will be good for his family to focus on “place,” “off,” and other calm training, when needed. Because of his confidence, he will be able to easily go into most situations. He has a medium touch tolerance so we recommend respectful handling. He will be a great dog for anyone, especially families with kids.
