The Bobtail Basics

Owning a bobtail bernard
size
Bobtail bernards are bred to be large enough to comfortably pull a wheelchair, but not so large that they can't maneuver in a crowd.
80-140lbs, up to 30"
Fast Learners
Having a dog that is a fast learner is a blessing and a curse. They quickly learn new skills, but if you are not consistent with boundaries and training, they will quickly learn that too.
Free training with all adoptions
Grooming
Regular bathing and grooming are required to maintain a healthy coat. Bobtail Bernard's can be shaved down during warmer months, or kept short all year for easy maintenance.
schedule our grooming class for all the basics
Early Care
Grooming
Grooming habits should start young. Our dogs go home freshly bathed so you can spend time training them to enter and exit the bathtub or shower on command,
diet
Multiple veterinarians and studies have advised that our dogs not be fed puppy food. Instead, they should be offered an all life stage food that is nutritionally complete for dogs and puppies. When reading the ingredient list, #1 should be a whole protein, no by products or meals which are low quality. of the next 4 ingredients, 2 should be protein. Feeding a higher quality of food will translate to feeding less food. Refer to the bag for feeding instructions. Puppies will eat up to 8 cups of food per day (2 full standard metal dog dish) at the peak of their growth.
training
When selecting our breeding dogs we look for biddability, or the desire to work together with humans to accomplish tasks. That means fun and exciting training opportunities like dog sports, scent detection training, therapy dog work, or service dog training.
