Bernard’s Pawsport

About Bernard

Bernard is a 89% Shar Pei and 11% Pug mix who is affectionate, goofy, and eager to bond with his person. He greets people with pure joy and loves gentle face kisses, and he's excellent at matching energy—excited when you're excited, calm and content to relax beside you when you're relaxed. Bernard gets along well with cats and has made good progress with other dogs in the home, even sharing gentle licks with them. Bernard knows how to sit and listens well with treats, though recall is not his strong suit, especially around small animals like squirrels. He walks decently on leash but needs secure handling and careful door-watching. He is still learning to signal when he needs to go outside, so monitoring his water intake is important; he may have accidents if he drinks too much too quickly. Bernard enjoys soft toys without destroying them and loves chews, but chews need supervision once they become narrow since he may snap and swallow pieces. He also has a taste for paper of any kind and enjoys eating grass and plants outdoors, so supervision is necessary both indoors and outside. Bernard may bark sometimes when left alone and can be a bit nervous around one of the other Shar-Pei in the home, though they have made progress together.
