Hey, something like 10 dogs walk past my home every day and I swear something like 6 of 10 are Bernedoodles. Unscientific, I know but my sister got one too. So, it seems too frequent to be a coincidence.
Does anyone here know why this breed is so popular in the last few years?
My guess: since I live in a conservative place (in the USA) someone famous got one, or said they’re great dogs for “patriots” to own. (/smh)
But thanks for any ideas. I searched around but all I got were those BS filled, “What you should know about the Bernedoodle” pages, saying dumb stuff like, “Bernedoodles have quickly gained popularity due to their cuddly nature and lovable personalities”. I bet there’s something else going on here.
Because people want the status symbol of having a dog without actually liking dogs, so they buy “convenient” dogs based on traits like how little they shed. Then the second they aren’t puppies anymore they dump them with a trainer to “train” all the dog out of them and/or dump them at a doggy daycare to torture the minimum wage employees who actually like dogs, all so the owners can take photos for their social media.
Tl;dr: I love all dogs. But poodle mixes are exclusively owned by terrible people, and as a result, act terribly.
Dogs just love people. If some rich asshole has the money to spoil their dog… the dog ain’t going to care what wages their current care taker is being paid. I fail to see how this is a negative for the dogs life, on average a dogs life will be significantly worse in the hands of someone with much less money.
