Yes Barkley was a doll! I can't help you in your search for a Goodle Riever but I would certainly encourage you to consider half of Barkley's parentage, the standard poodle! They are awesome dogs. Bella is my second standard and I just adore the breed! Unfortunately with the non-shedding comes the responsibility of pretty extensive periodic grooming. It's a small price to pay though, in my opinion, for the companionship of a terrific dog like a standard poodle, and I'm sure there is a good breeder somewhere in your area or someone could put you in touch with one. Good luck with your search!
