Bernese Mountain Dog

6 months, Female, Medium

🐾☕ MEET LATTE! ☕🐾

📍 Danville/Indianapolis, IN
🎂 16 weeks old | 25 lbs | Spayed & UTD on all vetting
🐶 Berner/Doodle Mix Female

Meet Latte, a goofy, playful puppy who is basically comic relief on four legs. 😂 She loves toys, tiny treats, giving kisses, being outside, and playing until someone finally tells her it’s time to take a break!

Latte is only 16 weeks old and already 25 pounds, so she may be a BIG girl when she's fully grown. Her exact heritage is unknown, but she appears to be a Berner mix.

A few important things to know:

⚠️ Another dog in the home is REQUIRED
⚠️ Not 100% potty trained — still a work in progress
⚠️ Training needs to be a priority — she's a young puppy who needs structure and boundaries
⚠️ Recall is a work in progress — she LOVES being outside and doesn't always want to come when called.
⚠️Fenced in yard is STRONGLY preferred
⚠️ Needs to be crated when left home alone
⚠️ Can be startled by loud noises and unfamiliar objects
⚠️ Her long, furnished coat will require regular grooming
⚠️ She is currently scared of cats
❤️ Good with kids of all ages

🐶 ANOTHER DOG IS A MUST

One of the most important things we're looking for in Latte's forever home is another dog.

Latte tends to bond with other dogs before she bonds with people, and having another dog around gives her confidence and helps her feel comfortable. We believe she will benefit greatly from having a canine companion to learn from as she continues growing and adjusting.

She absolutely LOVES other dogs, but her play style is very rambunctious! Her doggy sibling needs to be comfortable with energetic puppy play while also being able to gently correct her and help teach her boundaries.

Latte doesn't always know when the party is over. 😂 A well-matched dog who enjoys playing but can also tell her when enough is enough would be perfect.

😂 THE COMIC RELIEF

Latte is stubborn, playful, affectionate, and absolutely hilarious. This girl could play ALL DAY if you let her.

And she doesn't necessarily need you to participate! If you stop playing with her, she'll throw her own toys for herself. 😂

She loves toys of all kinds, tiny treats, giving kisses, and eventually wants to be wherever her people are. Once she builds that bond, she's an affectionate little girl who loves being part of what's going on.

🎓 SHE'S STILL A BABY!

Latte's adopter should be ready to jump right into training. She's smart, stubborn, playful, and likely going to be a large dog, so establishing good manners and boundaries now will be especially important.

She is not 100% potty trained yet. She's making progress, but she hasn't mastered going to the door to let you know she needs out. Her foster has learned that if Latte starts barking and you can't figure out what she wants, it's probably time for a potty break! 😂

She's currently crated overnight and does great with no accidents, and she should also be crated when she's left home alone.

Latte is still gaining confidence with the world around her. Loud noises and unfamiliar things—plastic bags, something unexpectedly falling off a shelf or table, and especially the dreaded vacuum—can scare her and cause her to hide.

With patience, positive experiences, training, and a confident dog by her side, she has plenty of time to continue building that confidence. ❤️

🏡 LATTE'S IDEAL HOME:

❤️ Another dog — REQUIRED
❤️ A dog who enjoys rambunctious puppy play but can gently teach her boundaries
❤️ A family ready to prioritize puppy training
❤️ Patient but consistent humans
❤️ Continued work on potty training & recall
❤️ Plenty of playtime, exercise & adventures
❤️ Someone who wants to take her places and make her part of the family
❤️ A commitment to regular grooming
❤️ Lots of toys and tiny treats
❤️ Someone ready for a goofy puppy with a BIG personality

Latte is still just a baby, which means her forever family gets the opportunity to help shape the wonderful adult dog she's going to become. She's funny, playful, loving, and ready to find her people—and her new doggy best friend. ❤️
