Stephen is a striking young mixed-breed retriever with a sleek black and cream coat and a ton of energy to burn. He’s the kind of dog who wants to be part of everything you’re doing—sitting still is not really on his agenda. Stephen isn’t looking for a slow-paced life; he’s best matched with an active family who can keep up and enjoy lots of walks, play sessions, or outdoor time. He’s not house trained yet, so patience and consistency will go a long way. Golden Retriever and Flat-Coated Retriever mixes tend to be smart and eager to please, so with the right guidance, Stephen could become a great companion. Fun fact: Stephen was born on April 22, making him a Taurus—these pups are known for their loyal and steady nature, but don’t be fooled, this guy still keeps things lively.
