Balck boy: I need a home!

This gorgeous black boy is a real cutie! He has a teensy white spot at the very tip of his tail, small white toe-tips, and a larger white blaze on his chest. This guy has a distinct personality. He is rather more poodle-like in looks (body & face shape) than your average Labradoodle, but his coat is wavy fleece, not wool like the curly Poodle coat.

Here is the description of him from the temperament evaluation done last Monday. (We call him Brio.)

INDEPENDENT, DETERMINED, IMPULSIVE

Brio is an intense and intelligent pup. He is very independent and determined, but can be impulsive and nose-driven. He is non- confrontational and will flee to avoid danger. He is sensitive to environmental changes and is observant of body movement. He is highly food motivated which will be helpful for training. He loves to be held and cuddled by familiar people. He will bond closely to his owner(s) and will make a loyal companion once trust and structure are established.

 I have to say that this is the one pup where I don't quite see the same characteristics in him as the evaluators did, with the exception of the cuddling part. He definitely does LOVE his cuddles, so if you like to have a dog on your lap, this is the one for you. And yes, he is a bit independent but perhaps not quite as impulsive as they say. Anyhow, he does pretty well with solitude so if you are a working family, gone most of the day, he should do well on his own but ready to greet you and get his share of cuddles once you get home.
