COAT CARE: LOW MAINTENANCE OF UNFURNISHED BERNEDOODLE

One of the standout features of the Unfurnished Bernedoodle is its low-maintenance coat. Yes, these dogs will shed, but not as substantially as their Bernese counterparts. Their coat may feature straight or wavy textures based on their parentage and generation.

What sets the Unfurnished Bernedoodle apart from its Bernese counterparts is its shedding tendencies. While the Bernese Mountain Dog is known for significant shedding, the Unfurnished Doodle exhibits moderate to low shedding, making it an optimal choice for those seeking a pet with less hair distribution in their homes.

It is crucial to understand the intricacies of coat types in designer doodles to comprehend their shedding patterns. There are two types of coats in Bernedoodles - Furnished and Unfurnished. Unfurnished Bernedoodles can have short or long hair on their bodies, with consistently short hair on their muzzles. Shedding in these dogs is mainly influenced by the "shedding gene." The genetics for Unfurnished Bernedoodles are IC/IC, and their shed level is medium to high.

On the other hand, Furnished Bernedoodles possess fluffy faces and continuously growing coats that require periodic trimming. This coat type ranges from low to lowest shedding, and purebred poodles usually carry two copies of furnishings, enhancing their minimal shedding nature. Furnished Bernedoodles can have straight, wavy, or curly coats that offer varying levels of ease in maintenance. Straight coats are relatively simpler to manage than curly ones, requiring frequent brushing and trimming. Wavy coats require regular care but are relatively easier to maintain than curly coats. The genetics for Furnished & Straight, Wavy, or Curly Coats are F/IC or F/F, and their shed level is low to lowest. Curly coats necessitate frequent brushing and trimming akin to poodle coats.

For some Unfurnished Bernedoodles, weaker furnishings may delay the growth of facial hair, resembling unfurnished traits in their early stages. However, their shedding tendencies vary, ranging from low to moderate shedding, occasionally demanding less frequent grooming. The genetics for Weakly Furnished Coat are Fw/IC or F2/IC, and their shed level is low to moderate.

Understanding the complex genetics and coat types of Bernedoodles can help pet owners make informed decisions that match their preferences and lifestyles. At Stokeshire Designer Doodles, we take pride in our commitment to breeding healthy and well-cared-for doodles, providing pets that enhance lives while fitting individual preferences.

The shedding tendencies of a Bernedoodle come from a combination of traits inherited from its parent breeds, the Poodle and the Bernese Mountain Dog. Each breed provides unique coat types and shedding traits that manifest in the Bernedoodle.

Poodle Influence: Poodles have a single, dense coat of curled hair that grows and sheds very minimally. Fallen hairs often recede into the coat, making Bernedoodles with a higher genetic likeness to Poodles less prone to shedding. While some may have an undercoat, it is less common in puppies with curlier hair.

Bernese Mountain Dog Traits: Bernese Mountain Dogs have a thick undercoat and longer outer coat that provide insulation in Alpine conditions. This results in significant shedding, especially during seasonal changes. Bernedoodles that inherit more Bernese traits may have higher shedding levels due to their double-coat nature.

Identifying Coat Types and Shedding: Stroke the dog's coat against the fur direction. If you see skin, your dog likely has a single-coat characteristic. Conversely, if you observe a dense, fluffy underlayer, indicative of a double-coated dog, shedding tendencies might be more pronounced.

Doodle Generations and Shedding: F1b Doodles, with more Poodle genetic makeup, typically shed the least among various Doodle generations, making them an attractive choice for those seeking hypoallergenic companions.
