Personality & Temperament

October is the type of puppy that genuinely wants to be involved in everything.

From the beginning of evaluations, he immediately sought interaction, climbed into engagement, and repeatedly worked to maintain connection and participation with people.

Throughout testing, he consistently demonstrated:

• strong social engagement

• high workability

• environmental confidence

• enthusiasm for interaction

• resilience after interruption or correction

• and strong willingness to participate

One of the most noticeable things about October is the combination of:

• confidence

• engagement

• intensity

• and extremely high social motivation

He appears naturally reinforced by interaction itself and genuinely enjoys participation, activity, and involvement with his people.

Even after redirection or correction, October repeatedly re-engaged quickly and remained socially connected and highly workable.

He feels like the type of dog who thrives most when life feels interactive, engaging, and involved.

Living With October

October would likely thrive in:

• active family homes

• training-oriented households

• homes wanting a highly interactive dog

• families who enjoy engagement and involvement

• active lifestyles with structure and consistency

• homes comfortable continuing training and impulse-control development

He appears especially likely to enjoy:

• training and obedience work

• active play and games

• hiking and outdoor adventures

• enrichment activities

• sport foundations

• jogging and highly involved daily interaction

October is not likely to be a naturally calm or low-interaction puppy.

He tends to remain emotionally and physically engaged during interaction and naturally builds momentum during excitement rather than settling independently on his own.

For the right family, however, this creates an exceptionally fun, engaging, and rewarding companion.

Emotional Regulation & Structure

Because October is naturally highly engaged and socially intense, continued development around:

• impulse control

• calm greetings

• emotional regulation

• settling behaviors

• and disengagement skills

will be especially important as he matures.

He can become:

• physically pushy

• mouthy during excitement

• highly animated

• and increasingly wound up if arousal continues building without structure or guidance

Importantly, he also demonstrated very nice responsiveness to feedback and remained highly connected and workable throughout interaction.

October appears likely to thrive with owners who genuinely enjoy:

• training

• structure

• active interaction

• and purposeful engagement with their dog

Service & Advanced Training Potential

October demonstrated many traits desirable for advanced training and highly involved working-style homes, including:

• strong confidence

• excellent recovery

• high human focus

• strong workability

• environmental confidence

• and eagerness to participate

He may appeal to:

• advanced obedience homes

• sport foundations

• active companion homes

• and experienced service-oriented homes comfortable continuing emotional regulation and impulse-control development.

Coat & Appearance

October has a double furnished wavy coat expected to remain very low shedding and highly allergy-friendly.

His coat combines the softness and fullness families love in traditional Goldendoodles with a looser, more relaxed wave pattern that gives him a very natural and expressive appearance.

This coat type is especially appealing to families wanting:

• a highly allergy-friendly companion

• minimal shedding in the home

• a softer, wavy doodle coat

• and a plush but slightly more relaxed texture than dense curly coats

This coat type typically:

• sheds minimally to not noticeably in most homes

• requires regular brushing and professional grooming

• develops additional softness and fullness with maturity

• and maintains a soft, easy-to-love teddy bear appearance

October comes from our Manhattan × Alastor Medium English Goldendoodle pairing, combining highly people-oriented temperaments with the classic low-shedding coat traits many families are searching for.

What to Expect

October has been thoughtfully raised through our early development program and is well-started for an easy transition into his new home.

He has also been raised with:

• daily handling and interaction

• structured socialization

• environmental exposure and enrichment

With continued structure and involvement, October is expected to continue maturing into an exceptionally interactive, trainable, and deeply connected companion.
