CHARLIE
Ironstone’s Foundation Sire | The Gentleman
Verified Goldendoodle Lineage
The Gentleman’s Temperament
A Signature Gentle Soul Charlie isn’t just a sire; he is the blueprint for the Ironstone temperament. He possesses a rare "intuitive focus"—a natural ability to read human emotion and remain steady in high-stimulus environments. Whether he’s navigating a new training hall or relaxing at home, his intelligence is marked by a deep affection and a calm, processing mind that we believe is essential for the modern family companion.
