A thread to shit post about newish canine members of your family...or share old Dwag stories.
After being out of the dog bidness for about 3 years, we picked up a 13 week old mini bernedoodle last Sat. She'll be about 25 lbs give or take fully grown. Her name is "Josie". The pup is heavy on the poodle face, but the body is all Bernese Mt Dawg.
Glad you got a new pup, need someone to keep the wife happy once the kids bounce for school
Couldn't find a good recent pic that didn't require redacting my GF from it.
All black is a first gen labradoodle, so a poodle parent and a black lab parent. He's extremely long and tall and about 90lbs. Smart like a poodle, endlessly loud, playful and goofy like a lab poodle cross. Can swim for miles.
The shorter guy is a mystery that some poor red haired girl (my GF is a ginger and can't refuse a ginger kid) with a tweaker mom pawned off on my GF. He turned out cool as hell with a burly frame, huge head, and amazing color highlights. He's kind of like a long haired Rottweiler. He's ~85 lbs and is the muscle of the pair.
A Bernese doodle is a freaking killer idea Yella. I love several of the breeds I call swiss Mtn dogs. I think my mutt with the tri color hair has some of those genetics.
I thinks with the Swiss Mt Dogs, you get a little bit more chill of a Doodle than a Ausi, Lab, or Golden Doodle. But I think think Bernese can be a bit stubborn some times as well. At any rate, all you can do is train the best you can and hope for the best.
Labradoodles have been referred to as frankendogs and ours is a perfect example. He's wired super tight. He's harmless and sweet, but for him exploring, playing, running, chasing shit, barking at clouds, etc isn't a past time. It's a life or death business matter. He's nuts and won't ever stop given a choice.
We saved his ass from owners who left him alone for days at a time for his first year and that compounded his issues. He's about to turn 6 and is mostly over the anxiety, chewing, counter surfing, etc. He's cool and entertaining as fuck, but a serious handful. I'd recommend most people stay away from the breed. I'd stay away myself if I could go back in time.
Bernese are a naturally mellow but hard working breed I think. I'm sure your puppy will have the usual challenges but I bet it's an amazing dog, and beautiful.
We had a goldendoodle, and while wired and hyper as a pup, we trained her up and she was about as good a dog as we could have hoped for...so good that, after her passing, the wife doesn't want to get another for fear of not measuring up. Friends of ours that don't like dogs loved her. She was a gem around kids, other dogs, never met a stranger, and was incredibly smart (spoken like a true dad)...She acted and looked like a golden retriever, and I damn near blew out my arm throwing balls to her over the years.
We heard stories after the fact that they can really be a handful, and I can see that. One of our friends got one after us, and decided to skip the training, and the poor dog is the antithesis of what our pup was.
Don't know if we will get another, but it sure is boring around here without her...FUCK CANCER

You’re gonna love this dog even more than you do right now, Yella. My wife and my first dog was a full size Bernedoodle and an absolute blast. Ours was easy to train despite crazy stubborn traits that finally subsided into some very manageable, predictable but quirky moments. He topped out at 102 lbs, 90 was his natural weight that he carried well, and he thought he weighed 22 lbs which was hilarious. I would EASILY get another bernedoodle, either mini or full size, he was a great boy for hanging even if he sucked at fetch.
