Essential Puppy Information from BerneCrest

Bringing a new puppy into your home is an exciting and meaningful decision. At BerneCrest, we are committed to raising BerneCrest puppies that are not only beautiful but also well-rounded, intelligent, and deeply connected companions.

Below you will find helpful information about our puppies, what to expect, and how to prepare for life with your new addition.

**Puppy Temperament**  

Our puppies are bred with a strong focus on puppy temperament. We prioritize calm, affectionate, and people-oriented personalities that transition well into family life.

You can expect a puppy that is:

- Loving and loyal  

- Highly intelligent and eager to please  

- Social and people-focused  

- Well-suited for both active and relaxed homes  

Because of the strong temperaments of our parent dogs, our puppies tend to be intuitive, emotionally connected, and easy to bond with.

**Coat Types & Grooming**  

Our Bernedoodles and Poodles have soft, low-shedding coats that are ideal for many families.

Coat types may include:

- Wavy (most common)  

- Curly (more poodle-like)  

While low-shedding, these coats do require regular maintenance. We recommend:

- Brushing several times per week  

- Professional grooming every 6–8 weeks  

Proper coat care will keep your puppy comfortable and looking their best.

**Puppy Training & Intelligence**  

Our puppies are highly intelligent and respond very well to puppy training. They are eager to learn and naturally want to please their owners.

Early training is key to success, and we recommend:

- Positive reinforcement methods  

- Consistency and routine  

- Early socialization  

With the right guidance, our puppies grow into well-mannered, confident companions.

**Exercise & Lifestyle**  

Our puppies are adaptable and can thrive in a variety of environments—from active households to more relaxed lifestyles. They enjoy:

- Daily walks  

- Playtime and interaction  

- Mental stimulation (training, toys, engagement)  

They are happiest when included in daily life and given both physical activity and companionship.

**What Comes With Your Puppy**  

Each BerneCrest puppy goes home with:

- Age-appropriate vaccinations and deworming  

- A full veterinary health check  

- Health records  

- Registration paperwork when applicable  

- 30 days free health insurance  

- Health Guarantee  

- Starter items to help with the transition  

We are committed to setting both you and your puppy up for success from day one.

**Ongoing Support**  

Our relationship doesn’t end when your puppy goes home. We are always available to answer questions and provide guidance as your puppy grows. At BerneCrest, we take pride in building lasting relationships with our families and supporting you every step of the way.

**A Lifetime Companion**  

Our goal is to raise puppies that become true members of your family—loving, loyal, and deeply connected. With the right care and environment, your BerneCrest puppy will bring years of joy, companionship, and unforgettable moments.
