How Much Do Bernedoodles Cost? A Joyful Guide to Your New Best Friend
If you’ve found yourself daydreaming about a fluffy companion with a goofy grin, a heart of gold, and a hypoallergenic coat to boot—you’re likely picturing a Bernedoodle. These pups are more than just a trend. They’re a blend of loyal Bernese Mountain Dog and intelligent Poodle, bringing the best of both worlds into one lovable package. But before that tail-wagging joy lands in your lap, let’s talk investment—because bringing home one of the Bernedoodles from an ethical breeder is more than a transaction. It’s a lifelong commitment, and the price reflects that care, quality, and dedication.
At Double U Doodles, we take the responsibility of raising each puppy very seriously—because your future family member deserves the absolute best.
Why Bernedoodles Cost What They Do
The cost of a Bernedoodle isn’t just about the puppy—it’s about how that puppy was raised.
When you choose an ethically raised Bernedoodle from Double U Doodles, here’s what your investment supports:
- Ethical Breeding Practices – Every parent dog is health tested and carefully selected to ensure long-term genetic soundness.
- Early Socialization – Our puppies begin socializing at just 3 days old, giving them a lifetime of confidence and adaptability.
- Family-Based Raising – Our pups are lovingly raised as part of our family, not in kennels.
- State-of-the-Art Facilities – We’ve built a beautiful, sustainable, safe haven designed specifically for the health and happiness of dogs and people alike.
- Comprehensive Puppy Training – Our Checkpoint Program ensures your pup comes home with real-life skills and a solid start.
Let’s Break It Down: Bernedoodle Prices at Double U Doodles
We offer a Checkpoint Training Program—a tiered training system that grows with your puppy. Each checkpoint builds on the last, giving families the flexibility to choose the right level of training for their lifestyle.
Here’s how it works:
Trained Doodle Puppy – Checkpoint 1
Price Range: $2000–$3000
At this stage, every puppy:
- Begins crate training (2–3 hours daily)
- Starts potty training outside by 4 weeks old
- Is gently shaped with early socialization and imprinting
💡 Included with all puppies. We prefer puppies to stay until 10 weeks for the best possible start.
Checkpoint 2 – Foundational Training
Total Investment: Puppy + $1500
Includes all of Checkpoint 1, plus:
- Crate time extended to 4–6 hours
- 50% potty training success with verbal cues
- Basic obedience: sit, down, come, leave-it, place, and more!
- Introduction to leash training and polite manners (no jumping!)
Checkpoint 3 – Intermediate Training
Total Investment: Puppy + $3000
This phase is a big leap forward:
- Full night crate training success
- 75% potty training accuracy
- Obedience without treats in more distracting settings
- Leash walking on a loose leash
- Public socialization at parks, stores, and pet-friendly locations
- Fully vaccinated (no extra vet trips needed!)
Checkpoint 4 – Turnkey Doodle Puppy
Total Investment: Puppy + $4500
Your puppy is 100% family-ready:
- Sleeps through the night
- 90% potty trained (the rest is easy once home!)

- Dogs aren’t overbred or neglected
- Puppies are socialized, not isolated
