Meet Tess!
Tess is a beautiful 5-month-old multigenerational Shepadoodle with all the qualities we look for in a future service dog prospect. She has a low- to no-shedding curly coat and has already built a wonderful foundation through early training, socialization, and daily structure.
Tess knows her basic obedience, is crate trained, is doing great with age-appropriate house training, and has been working on public socialization to build confidence in new environments. She has also begun learning Deep Pressure Therapy (DPT) as part of her service dog foundation.
Tess has a more laid-back personality and enjoys working closely with her handler, especially when food is involved. She is very inquisitive, enjoys exploring and learning about the world around her, and approaches new experiences with curiosity and confidence. She has a thoughtful approach to training and is happy to settle once the job is done.
Whether you are looking for a service dog prospect, therapy dog candidate, or an exceptionally well-started companion, Tess has the temperament, intelligence, and foundation to continue growing into something truly special.

Frequently Asked Questions
About
Shepadoodle
Puppies
What makes Shepadoodles special?
The Shepadoodle is a hybrid dog breed that is a cross between a German Shepherd and a Poodle. As with all designer dog breeds, the Shepadoodle's characteristics can vary widely depending on the traits inherited from its parent breeds. Full-grown, they typically weigh 60-90 pounds and stand 22-28 inches tall.
Do Shepadoodles do well in a busy household?
Shepadoodles are generally good with kids, especially when raised together. Shepadoodles can adapt to a variety of living situations, but they do require space to move around and play. They're moderate barkers — they'll alert you when something's up but aren't excessive.
How active are Shepadoodles on a daily basis?
Shepadoodles require daily exercise to maintain their physical and mental health. They enjoy activities such as running, hiking, and playing fetch, and need plenty of room to move around and play. Overall, their exercise needs are high.
What should I expect with Shepadoodle shedding?
The Shepadoodle's coat can vary depending on the specific traits it inherits from its parent breeds, the German Shepherd and the Poodle. Typically, the coat is thick and curly, and can come in a variety of colors, including black, white, brown, and gray. Because the Poodle is a non-shedding breed, Shepadoodles are often low-shedding. Grooming-wise, this breed is moderate.
What should first-time owners know about Shepadoodles?
Shepadoodles are best suited for apartments and smaller homes. Shepadoodles can adapt to a variety of living situations, but they do require space to move around and play. They can do well in apartments or larger homes as long as they get enough exercise and mental stimulation. They are moderately trainable with consistent effort.
Puppy Buyer's FAQ
See Full Guide Here
Visit or Video Call the Breeder
Visit in person if possible, or request a live video call to meet the puppy, see its living conditions, and meet the mom. Ask to see where the dogs eat, sleep, and play.
Get a Vet Exam Immediately
Have a vet examine the puppy within two days of bringing it home, even if it seems healthy.
Request Complete Health Records
Ask for vaccination records, deworming history, and vet exam results. For purebreds, ask for parent health clearances.
Get Everything in Writing
Written contract with health guarantees, return/refund policy, and spay/neuter terms. Verbal promises are unenforceable.
Use Secure Payment Methods
Pay with a credit card or another traceable method that offers buyer protection. Avoid wire transfers, crypto, or gift cards, which are difficult to recover.
Verify Breeder Credentials
Check USDA license, state breeder license, breed club memberships, and reviews. Ask for buyer references.
Know What to Look For
A trustworthy breeder welcomes visits, specializes in one or two breeds, prices fairly, and gives you time to decide without pressure.
Know Your State's Laws
Some states have lemon laws; others rely on contract law. Know your rights before you buy.
