Temperament

Being a friendly breed, the berdoodle, with a characteristic eagerness to impress, loves to be in the company of its owner. It makes an ideal family pet owing to its playful behavioral traits. If socialized from puppyhood, it comes to term with the company of other fellow pets and becomes friendly with small children. Since it develops a strong bond with its family, it might suffer from weariness or boredom if frequently left separated from its family members. Although calm and non-aggressive, it displays good guarding abilities when it barks loudly to alert the owner about the presence of an intruder.

Care

Exercise

Since the saint berdoodles are an active and enthusiastic breed, they need an adequate amount of exercise regularly for mental and physical stimulation. Taking them for a daily walk to a dog park, letting them play or run in a large, fenced yard are a few great ways to keep them happy, as also in good shape.

Grooming

St berdoodles need moderate maintenance and care. Since their coat is prone to matting, regular combing with a firm brush is recommended to prevent the formation of tangles. Bathing with a mild shampoo keeps their coat clean and hygienic, though it should occasionally be done to retain the natural oils that keep their coat shiny. Trimming is needed when the fur grows long enough to cover up their eyes.

Health Problems

Although not known to contract any specific ailments, these dogs may sometimes suffer from the common health problems of their parent breeds. Check for possible diseases of bones and joints, gastric disorders, infections of eyes and ears, and basic genetic problems.

Training

Owners enjoy training this breed since it listens to or obeys their commands quite willingly. As compared to other breeds, it requires lesser number of repetitions to obey instructions, thus a perfect breed for owners who prefer dogs with quick learning abilities. The puppies should be trained with patience, consistency, firmness, and proper guidance. Occasional treats and rewards can encourage them to respond to training quickly.

Feeding

Give an adult saint berdoodle four and a half cup to six cups of dry kibble daily to provide it the proper nutrition. A diet consisting of fish, meat, and sufficient amounts of water should be given to help the puppies grow and thrive.
