Breed Composition

• 42.8% Bernese Mountain Dog
• 37.7% Poodle (Standard + Small)
• 12.9% Australian Shepherd
• 6.7% Golden Retriever

The resulting litter is expected to be a Bernese-leaning doodle cross with strong Poodle influence for coat structure, along with moderate Australian Shepherd and Golden Retriever contributions.

Health Panel

All puppies are expected to inherit clear status for the Embark genetic health conditions tested, meaning no affected or carrier puppies are predicted from this pairing.

Genetic Diversity

A lower coefficient of inbreeding is associated with improved genetic diversity and potentially longer lifespan. This pairing moves COI significantly downward relative to the sire’s genetic profile.

Color Genetics

• 50% Solid Black
• 50% Black Tan Point
• 100% Black Pigment
• 0% Dilute

Expected Coat

• Poodle genetics strongly influence coat structure
• Likely fleece or wavy coats
• Moderate grooming needs

Overall Summary

• Excellent health outlook
• Very low expected inbreeding
• Balanced Bernese-Poodle structure
• Possible merle expression
• Black-based pigment

Breed Composition

• 71.7% Poodle overall
• 21.7% Bernese Mountain Dog
• 6.7% Golden Retriever

This pairing is strongly Poodle-backed, with a smaller Bernese contribution and a light Golden Retriever influence through Jada. In practical terms, that points toward a more refined doodle structure, strong coat potential, and a generally lower-shed direction than a heavier Bernese-based cross.

Health Panel

Embark predicts this pairing to be clear across 15 reported conditions in the Pair Predictor. Two additional conditions are listed as no prediction available; breed relevant, so those should be treated as areas to note rather than automatically describe as clear.

Genetic Diversity

The projected eCOI for this pairing is 3%, which is lower than Bowser’s individual COI and slightly below Jada’s general range. That is a favorable diversity outcome and suggests this match moves the line in a healthy direction from an inbreeding standpoint.

Base Color Genetics

• 19% solid black with black pigment
• 19% solid brown with brown pigment
• 19% black tan point with black pigment
• 19% brown tan point with brown pigment
• 13% recessive red with black pigment
• 13% recessive red with brown pigment

This is a much broader palette than the Mack pairing. Because Bowser contributes b and both parents carry e, the litter can produce both black-based and brown-based puppies, including tan point and recessive red outcomes.

Merle & Parti Notes

Because coat modifiers like merle and spotting are not fully represented in Embark’s main coat predictor, visible outcomes can be more complex than the base-locus percentages alone.

Coat Direction

• Strong Poodle influence suggests coats should trend doodle/fleece rather than Bernese-heavy
• Likely moderate to higher grooming needs depending on furnishing and texture inheritance
• This pairing may produce especially marketable variety because of the wider color and pattern range

From a program standpoint, Bowser × Jada offers more visual diversity than Mack × Jada. It is especially interesting for a dual-sire concept because it creates a noticeably different color lane while still holding strong diversity metrics.

Overall Summary

• Strong health outlook with 15 clear predicted conditions
• Low projected inbreeding at 3%
• Poodle-forward composition with Bernese and Golden influence
• Broadest color range of the two pairings
• Possible black, brown, tan point, recessive red, merle, and parti-related outcomes

If Mack × Jada gives you a more classic black / phantom lane, Bowser × Jada is the more visually expansive lane—bringing brown pigment, recessive red potential, merle overlay, and stronger parti relevance into play.
