Alf
Everybody's Best Friend
Personality & Temperament
Alf (affectionately called Alfie!) is a standard size F1 Goldendoodle and the son of two of our very own dogs, Ruthie (mom, Golden Retriever) and River (dad, Poodle). He is 50% Golden Retriever and 50% Poodle and weighs 60 lbs. Alfie has a non-shedding wavy coat and an 8/10 red intensity, complete with a charming white patch on his chest.
The easiest way to sum him up is to say that Alfie is total sunshine and just wants to be wherever his people are! If something is going on, he is right there in the middle of it. He is also a big fan of group hugs and will immediately trot over to squeeze himself into any cuddle session. He plays great with other dogs and is super gentle with smaller pups too.
We are very excited to have him in our program as a future dad in our F1B Goldendoodle line. In terms of colors, Alfie carries for brown and parti, meaning he can produce a stunning variety of puppies including solid red, red and white, solid brown, brown and white, phantom (black and tan), and solid black depending on which mama dog he is paired with.
Guardian Family:
The Jacobson Family
Alfie lives in Northern Virginia with his wonderful Guardian family, where he was placed as a puppy and is growing up alongside two human brothers. A model representation of the Goldendoodle, he is incredibly smart, easy to train, and outgoing, while still knowing how to settle in nicely at home.
Alfie is included in everything his family does, whether he is tagging along for baseball games, arts and crafts, kicking the soccer ball in the backyard, going on neighborhood walks, or taking part in daily routines. His absolute favorite thing in the world is playing chase with his brothers, which has become a daily staple in their home. Exceptionally well-socialized, Alfie is a favorite wherever he goes, especially at the vet and groomer. He even loves dressing up for every holiday!
