Breed Summary

Cavies are affectionate, friendly, and people-oriented, making them good family dogs. They are known to do well with children and dogs of any size. They’re much too friendly to be efficient guard dogs, and in fact, they are so eager for social interactions with their humans that they should not be left alone regularly. This breed is well-suited for companionship and cuddling. However, don’t be surprised when they show an active, sporting side. They like to chase things. These dogs can adapt to an apartment setting, but they’ll be happiest with access to a fenced yard for playtime. This breed should not be walked or left outside in hot weather due to their short muzzle.

Bernedoodles are playful and affectionate. They love spending time with their human families and are known to get along well with other animals and children. They need to be close to their loved ones, so you may find that your Bernedoodle doesn’t do well if left alone for long periods. This breed can be wary of strangers, but early training will help socialize them and manage that behavior. Your Bernedoodle will absolutely love going outside for daily walks and active play like fetch. They will be happiest with a fenced-in yard because the breed has a moderate tendency to hunt and wander. They can thrive in most living situations as long as they are able to get the time and space for daily exercise.
