Pepper is a high energy, happy Goldendoodle/Pit Bull mix who is active, wiggly and loves to run. Pepper is ready to learn his basic doggy manners and is just a puppy at 11 months old. Pepper’s birthday is this month and he is hoping he will find someone who has time for some fun training and activities. He would enjoy being your hiking partner and going outside for sniffing walks. Pepper is 70lbs and needs someone strong and consistent. He is learning to sit for attention instead of jumping up. He does not like to be left alone and is vocal so he would not be a good match for an apartment/condo/townhome. If you let him get too excited, he is mouthy and will put his mouth on your hands, so he would be a good match for an adult home or a home with older teenagers that can be part of his training. He is a fun dog and very sweet if he just gets enough exercise. Pepper was introduced to a female dog and he was very respectful of her space. When she told him to back down, he listened.  He also met an adult neutered male dog and he was also respectful. He is very playful and if you have a dog at home, you can bring them by during our Animal Viewing Hours below to see if their playstyles match.
