Based on the above information, we would expect the entire litter to likely have a black and tan point base coat or a brown and tan point base coat. Additionally, we expect approximately 50% of the litter to inherit and potentially express merle. Approximately 50% of the litter may inherit one 'sp' allele which can cause white in the coat. The entire litter will likely be furnished.
 
Health:
We expect the entire litter to have at least one copy of the variant for potentially low normal baseline ALT.
We expect approximately 50% of the litter to inherit one copy of the recessive variant for Progressive Retinal Atrophy, prcd, and be considered carriers for this condition.
Approximately 50% of the litter may inherit the variant for Dilated Cardiomyopathy, DCM1, however, research indicates that this variant is not known to impact dogs with Poodle or Bernese Mountain Dog ancestry.
We expect approximately 50% of the litter to inherit one copy of the variant for CDDY/IVDD and be considered at increased risk for this condition. 
 

 

Mavi’s LAST LITTER

A Merle Bernedoodle is a mixed breed dog that is a cross between a Bernese Mountain Dog and a Poodle. The term "Merle" refers to a specific coat pattern characterized by patches of diluted color, often with a mottled or speckled appearance. This pattern is commonly seen in various dog breeds, including the Bernese Mountain Dog.

The Bernese Mountain Dog is a large and sturdy breed known for its friendly and gentle nature, while the Poodle is highly intelligent and renowned for its hypoallergenic coat. By crossing these two breeds, breeders aim to create a dog that combines the desirable traits of both parent breeds.

Merle Bernedoodles can vary in appearance, as their coat color and texture can be influenced by both the Bernese Mountain Dog and the Poodle genes. They are typically medium to large-sized dogs with a curly or wavy coat. The Merle pattern can manifest in different ways, with variations in colors such as blue, red, chocolate, or lilac.

As with any mixed breed, the temperament and characteristics of a Merle Bernedoodle can vary depending on the individual dog and the traits inherited from its parent breeds. However, they are generally known to be intelligent, affectionate, and good with families and children. They may also have a moderate to high energy level, requiring regular exercise and mental stimulation.

A Mini Bernedoodle is a smaller version of the Bernedoodle dog breed. It is a cross between a Bernese Mountain Dog and a Miniature Poodle. The Miniature Poodle is bred with the Bernese Mountain Dog to achieve a smaller size while still maintaining the desirable traits of both parent breeds.

The Bernese Mountain Dog is a large breed known for its friendly and gentle nature, while the Miniature Poodle is smaller in size and highly intelligent. By crossing these two breeds, breeders aim to create a smaller dog with a hypoallergenic coat and a mix of the favorable characteristics from both parent breeds.

Mini Bernedoodles typically range in size from 25 to 49 pounds (11 to 22 kg) and stand around 18 to 22 inches (46 to 56 cm) tall at the shoulder. However, it's important to note that the size of individual Mini Bernedoodles can still vary within this range, as genetics can influence their growth.

Like other Bernedoodle variations, Mini Bernedoodles can have a variety of coat types, including curly, wavy, or straight, depending on the specific genes inherited from their parents. Their coat colors can vary as well, often featuring a combination of black, white, and brown.

In terms of temperament, Mini Bernedoodles are often described as intelligent, loyal, and affectionate. They tend to be good with families, including children and other pets. However, individual temperament can still vary depending on the specific genetics and upbringing of each dog.

Mini Bernedoodles require regular exercise to keep them healthy and happy. Daily walks, playtime, and mental stimulation are important to meet their activity needs. They also require regular grooming to maintain their coat, including brushing and occasional haircuts.

A multigen Bernedoodle, also known as an F2B or F3 Bernedoodle, is a Bernedoodle dog that is bred from two Bernedoodles rather than a Bernese Mountain Dog and a Poodle. The term "multigen" refers to the multiple generations of Bernedoodles in their lineage.
