Introducing Marley Reef

Marley Reef is a smart, soulful Aussiedoodle with that classic “Aussie-coded” spark—exceptionally bright, lumberingly energetic, deeply loyal, and incredibly attuned to his people. He thrives in a home with predictable routines and clear guidance, where his brilliant mind can shine; with patience and structure, he transforms into the most affectionate, attentive, and joyfully engaged companion you’ll ever meet. As a thoughtful herding-mix, Marley can get overstimulated when tired or surrounded by fast movement (hello, foot-fixating or a little barking!), but these instincts soften beautifully with calm redirection, scheduled downtime, and consistent leadership. Handled with understanding and love, this sensitive, full-of-personality boy becomes an endlessly rewarding partner, intuitive, devoted, and ready to pour his big heart into the right family. Marley has strong herding-breed traits, which means he is exceptionally bright, loyal, and deeply connected to his people.  With the right guidance, he is a lifetime love, affectionate, attentive, and wonderfully engaged.

Take Marley Home!
