Bentley

Meet our new assistant showroom manager in training. Bentley is an 11-month-old Bernedoodle who is already 95 lbs! He is in obedience training now and as soon as he is finished, he will be coming to the showroom. He is such a people loving and goofy puppy that I'm sure our clients will love meeting him. But don't worry, if you are not a dog person he will be put in the office away from you. We hope he will bring as much joy to the showroom as his older brother, Roman. Stop by if you're in the area. Bentley would love to meet you.
