The Labernese: Best of Both Worlds in Quebec

The Labernese is an intentional cross between the Labrador Retriever and the Bernese Mountain Dog — two of the world’s most beloved breeds. With 4 listings on QuebecAnnonce, this hybrid dog gains popularity among Quebec families seeking a large, affectionate, robust family dog. Residents of Montreal, Laval and Gatineau are discovering its exceptional qualities.

Inheriting the best from both parents — the Labrador’s joy and sociability combined with the Bernese’s gentleness and presence — the Labernese weighs 65 to 100 pounds with a dense wavy coat in black, brown or tricolor.

A Remarkable Family Temperament

The Labernese is inherently good-natured: patient with children, gentle with seniors and sociable with other animals. Its natural intelligence and eagerness to please make training straightforward. Moderate to high energy level — daily hour-long walks and play sessions keep it happy.

The Labernese and Canadian Winters

If it inherits the Bernese’s dense coat, the Labernese is exceptionally suited to Quebec winters. Its thick double fur allows it to fully enjoy snow and cold — truly a dog made for the Canadian climate. As a hybrid, choose breeders who test both parents for hip dysplasia, cardiac and eye conditions. Consult the CKC for parent breed standards. Browse our dog listings in Quebec.
