One of our favorite breeds is the energetic, goofy, loyal, and loving Bernedoodle. Bernedoodles are a mixed breed of the Bernese Mountain Dog and Poodle parents. We find the Bernedoodle to be one the most social dog breeds as they are outgoing and social. Your Bernedoodle will be happily making friends each time you go out for a walk! Our puppies are extremely gentle, kind, and have some of the best personalities.
We do recommend having several toys around as they love to play and LOVE to chew! Bernedoodles are clever and love learning new tricks, and take to training easily. They are lovely family dogs as they are protective, gentle, and loyal to their owners. Our Bernedoodle pups are well-behaved and ready to go to their new forever family within 8-10 weeks!
Bernedoodle Puppies
Bernedoodles are a relatively young breed with the first crosses born in 2003. In the last two decades, the Bernedoodle has grown into one of America’s most popular breeds. Bernedoodle parents do have a long history, aiding in this beautiful breed’s striking looks and coloring. Usually, the Bernedoodle is brown, black, or white in coloring, similar to the Bernese Mountain Dog’s coat colors.
Sizes for this breed vary based on a puppy’s parents. Some Bernedoodles grow into tall dogs, often standing at 23-29 inches at the shoulder and average 70-90 lbs. On the other hand, some Bernedoodles are smaller due to their smaller Poodle parents and can be around 20 lbs.
Our Bernedoodles are hypoallergenic and suitable for people with allergies as they rarely shed much. Their coats are incredibly soft and keep that fluffy, puppy feeling for years to come! They love to cuddle and can get along well with other family pets, cats included!

Standard Bernedoodles are the largest of the breed and fit with families living active lifestyles. Our pups have kind temperaments and are playful, and take to training well.
Temperament
The Bernedoodle enjoys being silly and loves to play. Bernedoodles can jump a lot, so it’s essential to start training them young to prevent problems with jumping on people. Bernedoodles are great with children as they are affectionate, love to snuggle, and love playing games.
Lifespan and Health Expectations
Our fluffy pups typically live 12-15 years. Daily exercise and healthy diets can aid in helping your pup grow properly and boost their immune system. We recommend dog food with healthy proteins like eggs, poultry, lamb, and beef.
Activity Level
The Bernedoodle is an active dog and loves to run, hike, and swim. We recommend spending at least an hour a day playing, walking, or running with your pup daily. Puppies tend to like to chew on things, so it’s wise to have several chewing toys and bones available to keep them from taking to your kitchen table legs! Bernedoodles bond quickly with their families and are exceptionally loyal and protective. They are social dogs and need to interact with other dogs as frequently as possible.
Coat Expectations
Their coats are usually soft and wavy or have a slight curl. Generally, Bernedoodles do not shed a lot, making them a friendly dog for allergy sufferers. To keep their coat soft and to prevent matting, we recommend brushing a few times a week. Bernedoodle coats come in various colors, usually black and white, brown and black, tri-color, or solid.
