Exceptional Intelligence and Trainability
Border Collies (https://lifeatherpaw.com/border-collie-intelligence/) rank as the #1 smartest dog breed, Poodles (https://poodledogsworld.com/exploring-poodle-intelligence-are-they-really-at-the-top/) as #2, and Bernese Mountain Dogs (https://thebernese.org/bernese-mountain-dogs) are quick learners with a desire to please their owners. This hybrid will be highly intelligent, eager to learn and versatile; perfect for obedience training, agility, puzzles and tricks. Making them an engaging companion that doesn’t get bored easily and one that bonds deeply through shared activity.
Gentle, Affectionate, and Family-Oriented
Bernese Mountain Dogs bring that classic “gentle giant” personality: patient, gentle, even tempered. They are deeply loyal to their families and thrive on human companionship. They want to be included in family activities. Bernese Mountain Dogs are known for being especially loving and patient with children. Their calm demeanor makes them relaxing to live with, though they enjoy romps with their owner.
Border Collies are eager to please, highly responsive and quick to learn. They are loving and form close attachments with their family. They are sensitive, emotionally in tune with their owners’ moods, enjoy companionship and being included in family activities. Border Collies are excellent at providing emotional support; they are quick to offer affection when you’re down. Many Border Collies excel as therapy or emotional support dogs. Their high energy and working drive can be a detriment to many families, but the calmer, lower energy of the Bernese Mountain Dog will balance their energy level
The Poodle influence will complement the Border Collie’s intelligence and trainability. Their playful goofiness, sociability and adaptability will balance the Border Collie’s intensity and the Bernese’s calmer “gentle giant” vibe. Adding the Poodle temperament will enhance the emotional sensitivity and family bonding, potentially softening the Border Collie sensitivity and amplify the affectionate loyalty of the Berner. And, of course, that non-shedding, (mostly hypoallergenic) Poodle coat!
Benefits of pairing the Bordoodle with the Bernedoodle
So far you’ve learned the attributes of each of the parent breeds in the Mountain Bordoodle hybrid. What are the added attributes achieved by pairing the multi-generational Bordoodle and Bernedoodle? The most obvious benefit is greater predictability in key traits. In first generation crosses sometimes the results can be unpredictable as far as the coat type, shedding, overall structure and size, the temperament and energy level. Each puppy can lean heavily toward one parent or the other.
Responsible breeders will select parent dogs that already have the desirable traits that they want to produce in their puppies. They will cross dogs that have already been health tested and show little probability for inheriting health issues common in their parent breeds. Dogs that have inherited the best traits from their grandparents and parents such as soft, wavy or straight low-shed coats, balanced energy, intelligence, and good family temperaments leading to more consistent outcomes. Thus making one of the best Doodles for families.
