Tirzah is the puppy whose temperament profile reads like a complete picture. Her blue merle tri parti coat is striking — but what distinguishes her is the depth and consistency of her temperament. She scored at the top of the litter in three of the most important developmental markers: following drive, retrieve motivation, and stability under novelty. That combination is uncommon in any single puppy.

Her profile sits at the high-functioning end of the Stokeshire framework. She is engaged, confident, motivated, and cooperative — and she carries those traits without slipping into pushiness or over-arousal. She follows her handler willingly, returns objects directly during retrieve, and investigates unfamiliar stimuli with active curiosity. These are not isolated bright spots in her profile. They are the consistent pattern of a puppy who is wired to participate.

Her confidence is the kind that gets stronger with exposure, not the kind that requires sheltering. When introduced to novel objects during stability testing, she walked toward them rather than away. That single response is one of the cleanest predictors of how a young dog will move through unfamiliar environments over a lifetime — busy public spaces, training facilities, travel, new homes. Tirzah is built for breadth of experience.

Her energy is high and engaged. She is suited to households that have something for her to do — daily structured exercise, ongoing training, enrichment activities, or shared adventures. She is not the right dog for a low-engagement household. With the right family, she is the kind of dog who develops into a true working partner: highly capable, attentive, and fulfilled by the relationship.

As an F1B Medium Australian Mountain Doodle, Tirzah carries roughly 75% Poodle composition with AMD heritage layered underneath. The Poodle backcross from Kodiak strengthens her furnished coat. The Australian Shepherd influence through Penelope contributes meaningfully to her working drive and environmental engagement, while the Bernese heritage supports her emotional balance. The family who chooses Tirzah is choosing a dog whose ceiling, with thoughtful training and continued enrichment, is exceptionally high.

The Australian Mountain Doodle is a three-breed cross combining the Bernese Mountain Dog, the Australian Shepherd, and the Poodle. The cross is intentionally designed to unite three complementary qualities: the calm, devoted temperament of the Bernese; the working intelligence and trainability of the Aussie; and the low-shedding coat genetics of the Poodle.

An F1B Australian Mountain Doodle, like Tirzah, is a first-generation backcross to Poodle. The Poodle parent in this pairing (Kodiak) brings additional coat consistency and a stronger lean toward furnished, low-shedding coats. Roughly 75% of her genetic composition comes from Poodle, with the remaining 25% reflecting her AMD heritage through Penelope.

F1B generations tend to produce more predictable coats than F1 crosses, with most puppies presenting wavy to curly low-shedding furnishings. The temperament range continues to benefit from the AMD heritage on the dam side, supporting a balance between cognitive engagement and emotional stability. Tirzah's expected COI of approximately 6% reflects strong genetic diversity through this outcross pairing.
