Questions & Answers
Bernedoodles are a popular hybrid of the Bernese Mountain Dog and Poodle breeds. On average, they weigh between 40-70 lbs and can range from 15-29 inches in height. Bernedoodles make excellent family pets, as they are incredibly intelligent, friendly and social. Furthermore, since they often inherit Poodle’s low-shedding and hypoallergenic coat, they are an ideal pet choice for those prone to allergies. Another fun fact: They are known for their unique tricolor patterns of black, white and rust/brown.
Despite having a fluffy and cuddly appearance, Bernedoodles have a low-maintenance coat that may vary depending on their ancestry. Most have a short, dense coat featuring moderate waviness or curl, but an individual Bernedoodle's coat could range from curly and corded to wavy or straight. In addition, Bernedoodles can have a variety of coat colors as their parent breeds, Bernese Mountain Dog and Poodle, both come in multiple colors. No two Bernedoodles will have identical coats as their coat texture and color depend on their unique genetics.
To determine what not to feed Bernedoodles, it is essential to research their dietary needs and allergies. For example, some bernedoodles may be allergic to certain grains, making diets that are grain-free a good choice. Additionally, many bernedoodles have sensitive stomachs, so it is important to make sure that any foods you provide are easy to digest.
Becoming a great puppy parent prior to getting a Bernedoodle involves doing some research. First, you'll want to brush up on common behavioral tendencies of Bernedoodles. Many puppies need to be actively trained in order to help them learn new things and become well-mannered dogs. Additionally, you should familiarize yourself with commands, so it's easier to instruct your puppy in the future. Additionally, there are some basic items that all puppies need, so purchasing items such as a collar, leash, or crate before bringing home your puppy is recommended.
Bernedoodles can come in a variety of sizes due to the different Bernese Mountain Dog and Poodle parent sizes. Thus, there is not a definitive size when it comes to Bernedoodles. Generally, Bernedoodles range from 18-100 pounds with most maxing out at around 75 pounds. The height of Bernedoodles depends greatly on the size of the parent dogs, especially the Poodle. The Poodle can range from toy, to mini, to standard, making Bernedoodles range in size from small to extra large.
Absolutely, Bernedoodles are robust and energetic pups that enjoy outdoor activities such as running. For optimal results, it is recommended that you wait until your Bernedoodle is at least 18 months old, as younger dogs may not be fully developed. Start slowly, with short runs once or twice a week, and gradually build up the distance and frequency. Be aware that older Bernedoodles may have less energy and require shorter distances and lower intensity exercise. Make sure to pay attention to your Bernedoodle while running, ensuring that they are comfortable and that they have enough energy.
Bernedoodles can make wonderful companions for kids. They are spunky, intelligent dogs that enjoy playing and will happily join in any family activity. As long as socialized appropriately from a young age, these dogs show agility, gentleness, and patience towards children. Bernedoodles are known to form very strong bonds with their owners, including the children, and they are active and loyal playmates.
Training your Bernedoodle is important and can be an enjoyable experience for both of you. Develop a consistent routine with potty, feeding, and playtime that is easy for them to follow. Make sure to use positive reinforcements such as treats and praise as a reward when they have behaved well. Start simple by teaching basic commands such as “sit” or “stay”, gradually moving on to more complicated behaviors. It's also important to set boundaries and expectations for them so that they can understand and anticipate what you expect of them.
