Bernedoodle - The Perfect Pet!

What our adopting families are saying about Echt K9:

-Chris, I couldn’t possibly be any more crazy about him.  We went to our 2nd dog training class and his classmates consist of a Border Collie, a Mastiff, and a German Shepherd.  He is BY FAR the fastest learner!!!  Not to mention the most Handsome!!!!

- Hey Chris!  We had something exciting happen with Dandelion.  She was digging in a specific spot the past few days.  Yesterday, she dug enough to dig up a mushy white thing.  We took it away from her and threw it away but we realized after it was a rare truffle!  Apparently only some dogs can find truffles . . . [five days later] . . . Hi Chris!  Dandelion found another truffle!

-He says to tell the whole family “Hi”.  He absolutely LOVES kids and I know that’s because he had such a great experience with yours.  Thank you for being responsible breeders and giving each puppy the attention needed to develop healthy social skills.
​

-Well...  Max is amazing.  The absolute BEST dog we have ever had.  We think we might want another.   

-My puppy doesn’t do a whole lot of work at the office but I LOVE having him with me!!!

-He has not had any “accidents” at all!  I think he is a genius. This boy is absolutely A MA ZING!!!!’


-Winston, the 16 month old, is 90 lbs and Cooper, the new guy (6 months old), is only about 10 lbs behind.  He’s got the most amazing personality...he is best described as sweet and honest...Winston, on the other hand, is also super sweet but sneaky.
 
-Hey Destiny!  So Odette has been amazing. . .my point is that Alexander (my 12 year old ) said that the Echt K9 dogs are the best!  He said “ I hope that Echt K9 has puppies when I get older as they are the best and I can’t wait! “ What a testament! We are deeply in love and it warms my heart to hear my son say that after the work required for a puppy!  I pray he gets a puppy from you when he is ready! I hope that we are clients for generations to come!
😘

-Cooper loves children to the tilt.  Our groomer does in home grooming and she has kids.  When we pull up Cooper gets so excited to see them.  I just know it is because he grew up with your kids.
 
-Hi Chris!  We’ve named him Boba and couldn’t be happier.  He got a vet checkup the day after we came home and were told that he was parasite free, good joints, and excellent temperament.  He’s well on his way to being potty trained and has mastered the sit and stay commands already.  Boba is wonderful with the kids and is very respectful of our elderly golden retriever.  Thank you so much for ensuring that your pups have excellent temperaments and health.  We are very pleased with how everything turned out!

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Bernedoodle Puppies

1. How much exercise does a Bernedoodle need each day?
Bernedoodles are generally considered moderate-energy dogs. Most Bernedoodles benefit from daily walks, play sessions, and mental stimulation. The exact amount of exercise depends on age, size, and individual temperament.  Mostly, Bernedoodles do very well with socialization and affection since they are bred to be pets and not bred to be working dogs.

2. Are Bernedoodles easy to train?
Yes. Bernedoodles are known for their intelligence and eagerness to please, which can make training enjoyable and rewarding. Early socialization and consistent, positive reinforcement training are recommended.  Bernedoodles typically train with less than 25% of the effort of other leading breeds.

3. When can Bernedoodle puppies go to their new homes?
At Echt K9, puppies typically go to their new homes once they are at least eight weeks old and have completed the appropriate early health evaluations and care.

4. What should I buy before bringing my Bernedoodle puppy home?
Families should prepare essential items such as a crate, food and water bowls, puppy food, a leash, collar, toys, grooming supplies, and a comfortable sleeping area before pickup day.  You can find more information about this on our puppy preparations page.

5. Do Bernedoodles make good first-time dogs?
Many Bernedoodles are excellent companions for first-time dog owners because of their affectionate personalities and trainability.  They are much easier to for first time dog owners compared to others breed.  As with any puppy, families should be prepared to invest time in training, grooming, and socialization.

6. How often should a Bernedoodle be professionally groomed?
Most Bernedoodles benefit from professional grooming every 4 to 8 weeks, depending on coat type, length, maintenance routine and how you want your puppy to look.  We think the sweet spot is every 6 weeks.  Grooming every 4 weeks means your dog looks in tip top shape all the time.  Grooming every 8 weeks means your dog will have a little shag toward the end of that time frame.

7. Can Bernedoodles live in apartments?
Bernedoodles are one of the best breeds for apartments and can adapt well to apartment living if they receive mental stimulation and companionship.

8. How important is early socialization for Bernedoodle puppies?
Early socialization plays a major role in helping puppies develop confidence and good manners. Exposure to different people, environments, sounds, and experiences helps prepare puppies for life with their new families.

9. What is hybrid vigor in Bernedoodles?
Hybrid vigor refers to the increased genetic diversity in health, intelligence and temperament that can occur when two different breeds are crossed. Many families appreciate Bernedoodles for the potential health and longevity benefits associated with this genetic diversity.

10. Are Bernedoodles suitable for therapy or service work?
Most Bernedoodles possess traits such as intelligence, gentleness, and strong people-oriented personalities that may make them excellentcandidates for therapy or service work.  Bernedoodles typically out peform most other breeds.

11. How can I help my new Bernedoodle adjust during the first week at home?
Maintaining a consistent routine, providing a quiet space, introducing family members sensitively, and using positive reinforcement can help puppies transition smoothly into their new environment.

12. Do Bernedoodles enjoy being around people?
Yes. Bernedoodles are widely known for being affectionate, social companions that often enjoy spending time with their families and participating in daily activities.
