Bristol
***Bio update 1/19/2025!***
Bristol was evaluated by an OWR volunteer and learned some nice things about her ...
Eileen said Bristol is a very sweet, happy dog and that this was the easiest evaluation she has done for us. Bristol is calm and friendly and she walked well on leash. Eileen gave her a few commands and she did them with ease (she knows Sit, Stay and Shake).
Bristol met Eileen's male Weimaraner and the two were interested in meeting but then got back to sniffing grass and ignored each other.
Bristol is a wonderful combination of breeds and it shows in her intelligence, calmness and curiosity. She is ¼ Golden (black) Retriever, ¼ Poodle and ½ Weimaraner).
Eileen was impressed by Bristol’s gentle personality but also the condition of her beautiful teeth, manicured nails and beautiful coat (it’s very soft). She could see that Bristol has been well cared for and loved by her owner.
Unfortunately, Bristol is having to live with several other dogs in an outbuilding while her owner is in the middle of a difficult transition in her life. Suffice it to say, Bristol needs a bath and a new loving home where she live inside with her people, and perhaps enjoy the company of an easy-going male dog.
Bristol’s original bio follows with minor updates. Please let us know if you are interested in adopting this wonderful girl!
Meet Bristol! This beautiful girl is looking for a companion. Someone she can adore, snuggle next to, and join on outings. And if you will allow it, she will lay on your lap - all 85lbs of her and her wonderfully soft fur. For outings, Bristol loves running off leash and exploring, but also likes walking on leash. And, she is fabulous in the car so she is ready to go where you go!
Bristol is 6.5 years old, spayed, house trained, and current on vaccines. Her ideal weight is around 65lbs. She is a WeimarGoldenDoodle - her Dad is a purebred Weimaraner and her Mom is ½ Golden Retriever and ½ Poodle. Her owner has had her since she was 3 months old and they’ve moved a few times, always to remote areas where she and Bristol could hike and enjoy the outdoors. She adores Bristol but must rehome her due to circumstances she cannot change.
From Bristol’s Owner:
‘Bristol is a very calm, keen and intuitive girl. She has never been sick and is not a problem dog on any level. She is VERY much into her person and LOVES with ALL her heart and soul. She has never been around kids, but will do well with a devoted couple, without cats and possibly another dog. Unfortunately, I am no longer in a stable place, and I want her to be in one.’
Bristol is a good girl; she is not crate trained but she sleeps quietly on a dog bed at night. When her person is away from home for a few hours, Bristol is with her dog mates in the barn or garage and does not fuss. We suspect she would be fine left alone in the house in time (she is house trained).
Bristol has lived with medium to large dogs her whole life and gotten along well with them. She is not accustomed to meeting new dogs so she will need practice (she does not react badly but is uncomfortable). For her home, an easy going, medium to large male dog should prove to be a good match. She will do fine as an only dog as well because she will connect deeply with her person.
Cats and chickens are not a go for Bristol. And since she has never lived with children nor spent time with them outside the home, kids in the home should be 18 years or older.
Bristol's ideal home is one with people who really enjoy the companionship of a loving dog, have time to go on daily walks and have a modest-size fenced yard.
