When it comes to choosing a Bernedoodle, one of the most common questions is about shedding. At Down Home Doodle, we’re proud to say that our Bernedoodles shed very low to not at all. This achievement is the result of years of careful breeding and testing.
Genetic Testing and Breeding Success
While Genetic Testing plays a crucial role, it’s not a guaranteed predictor of shedding. Success in minimizing shedding comes from thorough breeding practices & understanding the parent history of shedding. Some Poodles and Bernese Mountain Dogs have variations in shedding tendencies, which we take into account when selecting breeding pairs.
Understanding Parent History and Past Litters
The shedding tendencies of our Bernedoodles are influenced by the parent dogs' histories. For instance, some Poodles shed more than others, and the same goes for Bernese Mountain Dogs. We’ve carefully tracked this in our breeding program. For our micros, we have successfully bred lines that do not shed at all. This success is backed by our experience with past litters and confirmed through our studs used for these micros.
The Role of Furnishings
Furnishings, or the presence of a dense, curly coat, can influence shedding but cannot always predict it accurately. This is because Bernedoodle coat type and shedding are better understood through the history of past litters rather than just the appearance of furnishings.
The Impact of Diet
A high-quality diet plays a significant role in minimizing hair loss and maintaining a healthy coat. Feeding our Bernedoodles a proper diet ensures their coats remain in top condition
and reduces unnecessary shedding.
