Why You Should Consider a Bernedoodle as Your Next Family Dog
If you're in the market for a new furry friend, you may have come across the Bernedoodle—a perfect mix of a Bernese Mountain Dog and a Poodle. With so many dog breeds out there, it can be tough to decide which one is the right fit for your family. Here’s why a Bernedoodle might just be the perfect addition to your home.
1. The Best of Both Worlds
With selective and intentional ethical breeding Bernedoodles can inherit the best qualities of their parent breeds. The Bernese Mountain Dog is known for its loyalty, calm demeanor, and gentle nature, while Poodles are highly intelligent, hypoallergenic, and come in a variety of sizes. Together, they create a hybrid that is family oriented, calm, gentle, intelligent, and low-shedding—a combination that is hard to beat.
2. Ideal for Families
If you have kids, a Bernedoodle can be an excellent choice. They are typically very patient and affectionate, making them great companions for children. Their playful yet gentle nature ensures that they can keep up with energetic kids while also knowing when to take it easy. They quickly become a beloved member of the family, forming strong bonds with their family.
3. Long Lifespan
Compared to purebred dogs, hybrid breeds like the Bernedoodle often enjoy better health and a longer lifespan due to their genetic diversity. While Bernese Mountain Dogs have a relatively short lifespan, the infusion of Poodle genes often results in a healthier, longer-lived dog. You can expect your Bernedoodle to be a loyal companion for many years.
4. Low-Shedding Coat
One of the standout features of a Bernedoodle is its low-shedding coat, which is a big win for anyone with allergies or those who prefer a cleaner home. Thanks to the Poodle’s influence, Bernedoodles may have furnished coats that don’t shed much. Regular grooming is still required to keep their coat healthy, but the reduced shedding is a huge plus. Ask me about shedding and furnishings in choosing the perfect puppy for your lifestyle!
5. Intelligent
Bernedoodles are very intelligent and eager to learn. They pick up commands quickly and are usually quite easy to train. Whether you’re teaching them basic obedience, fun tricks, or more advanced skills, Bernedoodles tend to enjoy the learning process. Because of their laid back temperament and poodle influence in trainability, they have the potential to make excellent therapy dogs.
6. The Perfect Adventure Dog
If you’re someone who loves outdoor activities, a Bernedoodle will happily join in. They are the perfect mountain dog! Whether it’s hiking, running, or just a walk in the park, these dogs love to go on adventures. Their favorite thing in life is to be next to the people they love! So, after a long day of adventuring you can usually find my Bernedoodles snuggled up on top of me being big lap dogs! What can be better than adventures and snuggles?!!
7. A Unique Personality
Each Bernedoodle is unique, with its own quirks and personality traits. Some might lean more towards the Bernese side, while others might take after the Poodle depending on parentage. This mix results in a dog that is both playful and thoughtful, goofy and dignified.
Conclusion
Choosing a dog is a big decision, and it’s important to find a breed that fits well with your lifestyle and family dynamic. The Bernedoodle’s blend of loyalty, intelligence, low-shedding coat, and adaptable nature make it an excellent choice for families and those looking for a loyal, loving companion. And as a breeder my commitment is to support and help you choose the best puppy for your family, whether is is one of my puppies or a puppy from another ethical breeder.
