Meet Bogey!
An intelligent and affectionate three-and-a-half-year-old Sheepadoodle currently in San Jose, CA, whose soft cream coat and sweet personality make him one charming companion. Weighing 35 pounds, this medium-sized gentleman has a playful spirit, a sensitive heart, and a remarkable ability to learn!
Bogey loves stuffed toys, leisurely walks, car rides, and quality time with his favorite people. Once he feels comfortable, his affectionate personality shines! He's happiest when life includes predictable routines, mental enrichment, and plenty of opportunities to show off his impressive intelligence.
After six weeks of professional training, Bogey has made wonderful progress with obedience, leash manners, impulse control, and remaining calm around unfamiliar people and dogs. He knows sit, down, heel, place, come, and kennel. His trainer describes him as well-behaved, responsive, and comfortable in structured environments.
Bogey has experienced separation anxiety and fear-based reactivity, particularly when unfamiliar visitors enter his space. On three occasions, he made defensive mouth contact with people without breaking skin or causing injury. Encouragingly, his trainer observed no comparable incidents during his six-week stay, and he has remained comfortable when left alone in her care.
This clever boy needs an experienced, adult-only family without children who understands canine anxiety, respects boundaries, and embraces consistent routines and positive reinforcement. A fenced yard, continued training, structured kennel time, and regular enrichment will help him thrive.
Bogey gets along well with other dogs, peacefully coexists with cats and chickens, and enjoys social playgroups. He's neutered, house-trained, microchipped, and current on vaccinations. He also benefits from monthly professional grooming and occasional attention to a mild skin allergy affecting his elbows.
With patience, thoughtful guidance, and a caring environment, Bogey has so much affection and companionship to share. His future pet parents will enjoy watching this sensitive sweetheart continue building confidence while celebrating every milestone together! Could you be the understanding, experienced pet parent who helps Bogey embrace his next chapter?
