Bernadette

My story

Bernadette is an adorable Pitbull/German Shepherd mix who was born on November 20, 2024. She will be a large breed dog. Because she is a large breed puppy, she will have a LOT of energy and needs plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Bernadette is a very sweet, playful, cuddly puppy who is great with other dogs and people. She should continually be interacting with other dogs and new people so she can grow up well socialized. Named after the stage star, Bernadette is definitely a shining performer! She absolutely nails her training and gives undivided eye contact. Her kisses are spicy, as in a kiss is also accompanied by a nib or two. Honestly… Worth it. We should have named her Chomper because she does the cutest little chomp chomps when trying to communicate. She is an active puppy and loves to play with her brother. She will do great in a home with other dogs, but who will also show her the boundaries of play, as she can be a bit bossy. She is in process of potty and crate training. She sleeps well at night in her crate and eats without guarding. We work on calm touch for paws, teeth, and ears. She loves this, and it will help with future vet visits and tending to any ailments. Oh boy is she brave and curious! She will explore and trudge along without any fear. Sniffs the air and surroundings for information, so scent training is a possibility! A great trait for a future performer and doggo explorer. She loves her brother and would love to stay in contact for play dates! There is potential for separation anxiety since these two have been together since day one, but she is ready to love on a human and give those hazel eyes a run for their money! When she grows up she wants to be: A broadway star of course CEO of doggy daycare A K-9 search and rescue Number one cuddle buddy Things to look out for: Normal puppy behavior: nibbles/chewing She’s a curious eater: rocks, plants, sticks. But she will allow you to reach in her mouth to grab those things. Tldr: Excellent doggo, very smart, active, and brave. Loves cuddles. Will need an active home. Good with dogs. Cats unknown. Spayed and up to date with shots.
