So my husband and I thought it would be great to get our daughter a puppy that would grow into a big dog to help with her walking stability. We didn’t want a small dog that would trip her up by dashing in and out of her stride, and he had to be large enough to take her weight if she stumbled, we found that in the Saint Berdoodle. The fact that Boomer is so smart, calm, stable and patient to work with her and be comfortable around so many different kids is the best bonus! So of course when our youngest daughter was wanting her own puppy…in stepped Bella. She has a more “poodle” style hair compared to his “beachy waves”, both have a wonderful disposition. We have nothing but love for this breed and these two are family. I would highly recommend them as family members, therapy dogs or alert dogs and their size alone would deter many from foul doing.
