IS A BERNESE MOUNTAIN DOG THE RIGHT CHOICE OR WOULD A BERNEDOODLE BE A BETTER FIT?
This is a question that we get frequently! I have bred and raised Bernese Mountain dogs for many years and have owned them for over 25 years. There is something very special in the way that a Bernese touches your heart. It is hard for someone that has been owned by one to ever imagine another breed.
A lot of folks choose the Bernedoodle because of family members that have allergy issues and the low to no shed coat of the Bernedoodle . The Bernese does shed, or as we prefer to say, they leave little bits of Bernese love everywhere. This can be controlled somewhat with frequent brushing to remove the excess hair.
When you introduce the Standard Poodle into the Bernese Bloodlines it really does create a wonderful cross. The folks that have them can attest to just how wonderful they are, not just in personality but they really draw people in.... It is not a purebred Bernese but the Doodle does have a lot of the Bernese characteristics. The Standard Poodle in and of itself is an amazing breed. One of the older water retrieving breeds, they are intelligent and bring a lot to the table. They are fun loving and can be real entertainers!
It is truly a very personal choice but we are happy to talk you through the process and help you with the pro's and con's!
