The very first thing that Wiley the Poodle/Schnauzer mix (Schnoodle) wants to make clear is that he's a love. In this photo, you're not aware of the striking silver colors that run through his soft as cotton, non-shedding coat - with grooming, care and great nutrition, Wiley's hair will not only be silky soft..but shining with good health.

　　Everything is new to Wiley...he sniffs shyly at an outstretched hand...and then an ear to ear smile if it's a loving touch. And then before you know it, Wiley is on your lap or cuddling close on the bed as he sleeps through the night next to his favorite family members. Wiley is so happy there because his human relationships are so important to him.

　　We have to remember that Wiley came from a very tough and challenging shelter. As a result of unkind handling and harsh conditions, Wiley may be initially a bit shy. Once he's assured that all is well, he becomes the most loving guy ever! Wiley is a calm and very sweet dog that wants nothing more than kindness and love...he returns these loving sentiments to his family a thousand times over.

　　This 12 - 18 month old, 7 lb guy (perfect lap size) truly lights up when he feels like he's done a good job... some serious hugging and kind words will send him over the moon. In this spirit of great behavior, Wiley is a very kind and loving people dog. He's gentle and a very loving and devoted best friend.

　　We envision Wiley with an active retired couple or individual or a family with very gentle older kids who want a very handsome and loving dog as a family member and best companion. Wiley would be so excited to spend his days in the company of his favorite people. Being a Poodle mix, Wiley loves physical exercise as well as mental stimulation (he's super-smart!). Wiley would be a natural in positive reinforcement group obedience classes. He would love the challenge and is so smart and wanting to please, that he would excel. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of excellent force-free trainers in your area.

　　Wiley would be overjoyed to walk along gorgeous Colorado paths and trails..enjoying the sunshine and time with his people. If he gets tired...up he can go into a back or front pack enjoying the view from above. Wiley's basic nature is to be so positive and extremely joyful and often silly.. he's therefore so much fun to be with and enjoy the outdoor wonders of life in Colorado together.

　　We've requested that Wiley be neutered prior to his transport to Denver. We're not optimistic that this will occur due to far too few vets in this industrial area of New Mexico. If it doesn't, Farfel's will be happy to cover all costs for Wiley's neuter and microchip if our Denver vet is used.

　　Wiley will be arriving on transport in early April (exact date will be added when finalized).
