About Bernedoodles

What is a Bernedoodle?
A Bernedoodle is a designer breed that combines the affectionate nature of the Bernese Mountain Dog with the intelligence and low-shedding coat of the Poodle. Available in different sizes (standard, miniature, and toy), Bernedoodles inherit various traits from their parents, including strong loyalty, playfulness, and a loving temperament.

Why Choose a Bernedoodle?

1. Hypoallergenic Coats: Thanks to their Poodle heritage, Bernedoodles typically have low-shedding coats, making them more suitable for allergy sufferers.
2. Gentle Temperament: Known for their friendly and affectionate nature, Bernedoodles are perfect for families, singles, and seniors.
3. Highly Trainable: With a keen intellect, Bernedoodles excel in obedience training and enjoy learning new tricks.

Health Considerations

Health Screening
Before you adopt a Bernedoodle, ensure that they have undergone essential health checks. Our puppies come from health-tested parents, reducing the risk of inherited health issues. Key health checks should include:

• Hip Dysplasia
• Elbow Dysplasia
• Heart Diseases
• Eye Conditions: Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA)

Regular Veterinary Care
Post-adoption, establish a routine veterinary care schedule to keep your Bernedoodle healthy. Regular vaccinations, deworming, and health check-ups are vital for your puppy’s well-being.

Nutrition

Balanced Diet
Feeding your Bernedoodle a balanced diet is crucial for their growth, especially from 12 weeks and older. Look for high-quality puppy food that contains:

• Protein (chicken, beef, or lamb)
• Healthy fats (Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids)
• Necessary vitamins and minerals for overall health

Controlled Portions
Consult with your veterinarian to establish a feeding schedule that suits your puppy’s growth stage and lifestyle, ensuring they receive the right amount of nutrition without overfeeding.

Training and Socialization

Begin Early
Training your Bernedoodle should start as soon as they arrive at home. Focus on essential commands (sit, stay, come) and house training techniques. Use positive reinforcement, such as treats and praise, to encourage good behavior.

Socialization
Socializing your Bernedoodle is crucial for their development. Introduce your puppy to various environments, people, and other animals during their critical socialization period (up to 16 weeks) to foster a confident and well-adjusted adult dog.

Obedience Classes
Consider enrolling your Bernedoodle in obedience classes to enhance training and strengthen your bond. These classes also provide valuable socialization opportunities.

Exercise Needs

Active Playtime
Bernedoodles require regular exercise to stay healthy and happy. Aim for at least 30 to 60 minutes of daily activity, including walks, fetch, and engaging in interactive play. This helps prevent obesity and boredom-related behavioral issues.

Grooming Requirements

Coat Maintenance
To keep their beautiful coats in top condition, Bernedoodles require regular grooming—typically 2-3 times a week. This helps prevent matting and ensures a healthy coat. Consider scheduling professional grooming every 6-8 weeks.

Bathing
Only bathe your Bernedoodle when necessary, as over-bathing can strip their coat of its natural oils. Opt for a gentle dog shampoo designed for sensitive skin.

Final Thoughts

Welcoming a Bernedoodle into your home is a rewarding experience filled with love and companionship. With proper health monitoring, nutrition, training, and exercise, your Bernedoodle will thrive and become a cherished member of your family.
