THE PARENTS

 

POODLE

Poodles can be found in documentation dating back to the early 14th century in Europe, and it's believed that they were introduced in North America in the late 17th century. The American Kennel Club officially recognized the breed in 1887 as one of the first registered dog breeds.

 

Poodles are among the smartest dog breeds. Their intelligence and eagerness to please make them great service dogs. Poodles are also employed as guide dogs, assistance dogs for people with other physical disabilities, and therapy dogs. 

 

Poodles are extremely intelligent and are easily trained. They are agile and graceful as well as smart, and they enjoy and excel in a variety of canine sports, including agility, obedience, and tracking.

 

BERNESE MOUNTAIN DOG

Bred from crosses of Mastiffs and guard-type breeds, Bernese Mountain Dogs were brought to Switzerland by the Romans 2,000 years ago. Their name was derived from the Canton of Bern in Switzerland where the dogs lived. 

 

Bernese mountain dogs, known as "Berners" to their fans, are beloved for their sweet, calm, easygoing nature and their devotion to their families, including small children. Big and strong Berners, which historically helped with farming duties in Switzerland, are able to pull carts and act as guard dogs. When they're not working or playing, these smart, loyal dogs are happiest at their owner's side, wherever that may be. 

​

The Bernese mountain dog is patient, calm, affectionate, and a great pet for families, as well as a very attentive mother.

 

Berners love their people and will follow them from room to room. They also love being in your lap snuggling despite their large size. We like to call them “gentle giants “ ;)
