About Bernie
💙 Meet Bernie 💙
HOUSEHOLD- Bernie is not only handsome, he is also a smart and loving boy.
Bernie approaches everyone with nice manners and he is very accepting of any new people that he meets. Bernie is an overall well behaved boy who would be suitable for a family who enjoy an outdoors lifestyle.
ON-GOING TRAINING- Bernie already knows basic commands and is toilet trained. He is treat motivated and will virtually do anything for a delicious treat.
Bernie can take food from you quickly but not in an aggressive way..... he just loves his food !!!
Staff can handle him while he is eating and remove is food bowl, however Bernie has previously displayed food resource guarding with other canine friends.
ON LEAD- Bernie is brilliant to walk on the lead and a favourite among our volunteer walkers. He loves walking in the bush and is relaxed while he takes in the sights and smells that it offers.
PLAY/TOYS- Bernie is a playful boy and absolutely loves playtime. He enjoys interacting with you and any type of handling.
OTHER DOGS- Outdoors Bernie socially loves the company of doggie friends and confident in their presence. From a distance Bernie playfully vocalises his excitement to meet them. Once they meet he is very social and playbows to initiate play.
Within a home environment Bernie has a tendency to rescource guard his food therefore he is unsuitable to be rehomed with a resident canine friend.
CATS/OTHER ANIMALS- Bernie has previously lived in harmony with some feline friends. While in our care Bernie has been non reactive to our cats and shown little interest in them.
CARE/GROOMING- Bernie will require regular bathing and brushing. His breed requires bathing as frequently as every other week up to no longer than every 8 weeks in order to keep his coat clean and to minimise doggie odour. The care and maintenance of his coat will also set the foundation for maintaining healthy skin and coat.
EXERCISE- Bernie is a young man that requires a daily walk or run to kept him fit and healthy. A big back yard would be perfect for this wonderful boy to freely run around in.
NUTRITION- Bernie is a non fussy eater and has no specific dietary requirements.
BREED - Gorgeous Cattle Cross.
