Description
Dog Breed: Australian Shepherd / Bernese Mountain Dog / Mixed (medium coat). Meet Ollie! A three-year old Australlian Shepherd/St.Bernard Mix with a soft affectionate heart and playful spirit. He loves going for walks, exploring new places and taking in the world at his own gentle pace. While he can be timid when meeting new people, he warms up quickly, especially if you come bearing treats. Once he feels safe, his sweetness shines through! Ollie's past wasn't easy. He was found in the riverbed after being on the run for several days, and because of that history, he is a flight risk who will need secure fencing and thoughtful management during transitions and outdoor time. He enjoys the company of other dogs and would thrive with a confident canine companion to help him continue building trust and stability. Despite everything he's been through, Ollie remains a resilient, loving dog who forms deep bonds and blossoms beautifully with patience, safety and kindeness.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Australian Mountain Dog, a captivating hybrid of the Australian Shepherd and Bernese Mountain Dog, combines the best traits of its esteemed parents. Originating from designer breed efforts to create a well-rounded companion, these dogs are renowned for their striking appearance, often featuring a medium-to-long coat in various colors, a sturdy build, and an intelligent expression. Temperament-wise, they are generally described as loyal, intelligent, and affectionate, making them excellent family pets. While they possess a playful energy from their Aussie lineage, the Bernese influence often imbues them with a calm and gentle demeanor. They thrive in homes with a fenced yard and consistent exercise, making them less suitable for apartment living without significant commitment to daily walks and mental stimulation. Owners should be aware of potential health considerations common to their parent breeds, such as hip and elbow dysplasia, certain cancers, and eye conditions, necessitating regular veterinary check-ups to ensure a long and healthy life.
