What Is a Bernedoodle?
A Bernedoodle is a delightful hybrid cross between a Bernese Mountain Dog and a Poodle. This breed brings together the best of both worlds, the loyal, gentle personality of the Bernese with the intelligence and low-shedding coat of the Poodle. Bernedoodles are known for their striking tri-color coats, affectionate nature, and adaptable personalities, making them one of the most sought-after family dogs in the U.S.
History of the Bernedoodle
The Bernedoodle is a relatively recent designer breed, first gaining popularity in the early 2000s. Breeders began intentionally pairing Bernese Mountain Dogs with Poodles to create a healthier companion dog with less shedding and a longer life expectancy than the purebred Bernese. Over the past two decades, Bernedoodles have become beloved companions for families who want a loyal, beautiful, and intelligent dog that fits seamlessly into a wide variety of lifestyles.
Bernedoodle Generations
Bernedoodles come in several generations, and each one can influence coat type, shedding level, and even temperament:
- F1 Bernedoodle: 50% Bernese Mountain Dog + 50% Poodle. Known for a wavy coat and hybrid vigor.
- F1B Bernedoodle: 75% Poodle + 25% Bernese. More curl, less shedding, great for allergy-sensitive families.
- F2 Bernedoodle: The result of two F1 Bernedoodles bred together. Offers variety in coat textures and personalities.
Knowing which generation best fits your lifestyle is an important step when choosing your perfect puppy.

How Big Does a Bernedoodle Get?
Bernedoodles come in several sizes depending on the size of their Poodle parent:
- Standard Bernedoodle: 50–90 lbs, ideal for active families and larger homes.
- Mini Bernedoodle: 25–49 lbs, a great middle-ground option.
- Tiny Bernedoodle: 10–24 lbs, perfect for apartments or families who prefer a smaller companion.
How Much Do Bernedoodles Weigh?
Weight can vary even within the same litter, depending on the puppy’s genetics. Standard Bernedoodles can weigh anywhere from 50 to 90 pounds, while minis generally fall in the 25 to 49 pound range. Tiny Bernedoodles are the most petite, often between 10 and 24 pounds. We work closely with families to help them choose the size that fits their home, lifestyle, and activity level.
Temperament and Characteristics of the Bernedoodle

- Gentle companions: Naturally good-natured, they make great family pets.

Coat Colors, Thickness and Shedding
Bernedoodles come in a range of beautiful colors, from classic tri-color (black, white, and rust) to sable, phantom, and even solid coats. Their fur can be wavy, curly, or somewhere in between, depending on the genetics of their parents. Shedding levels are typically low, with curlier coats shedding the least.
Eye Color and Change
Bernedoodle puppies may be born with striking blue or gray eyes, which often darken to brown as they grow. Occasionally, some Bernedoodles retain lighter eye colors into adulthood, giving them a unique and captivating look.
Bernedoodle Grooming
Thanks to their Poodle heritage, Bernedoodles have coats that can range from wavy to curly and are often low-shedding. Regular grooming keeps them looking and feeling their best. We recommend:
- Brushing 3–4 times a week to prevent mats and tangles.
- Professional grooming every 6–8 weeks to keep their coat trimmed and manageable.
- Routine ear cleaning and nail trims to support overall health and comfort.
Training a Bernedoodle
Bernedoodles are highly trainable thanks to their intelligence and desire to please. Positive reinforcement methods work best.
Our Expert Early Development
From their very first days, each Bernedoodle puppy benefits from gentle, structured early developmental techniques. I personally implement Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) to help build a strong immune system and to encourage a balanced, confident temperament. This early care is essential in shaping resilient, adaptable companions.
Building Strong Foundations
By the time our puppies are ready to join your family at around 8 weeks old, they have already embarked on their journey of learning and socialization. They’ve:
- Started their potty training with gentle guidance
- Been introduced to crate training as a comforting space
- Explored various environments to build their social skills
- Learned basic obedience cues that set the stage for a harmonious home life
Families who want an even smoother transition can choose one of our trained Bernedoodle puppies, which come with additional house manners and socialization experience.
Health of a Bernedoodle
