What Is a Bernedoodle?

A Bernedoodle is a cross between a Bernese Mountain Dog and a Poodle. They are known for combining the affectionate, calm nature of the Bernese Mountain Dog with the intelligence and low-shedding coat of the Poodle.

Bernedoodles are loved for their:

• Gentle personalities

• Family-friendly temperaments

• High intelligence

• Loyalty

• Playful nature

• Beautiful wavy or curly coats

• Strong desire to be with their people

Because they thrive on companionship, Bernedoodles do best in homes where they are included in everyday family life.

​

What Is the Difference Between a Mini Bernedoodle and a Standard Bernedoodle?

The biggest differences are size, activity level, and living space requirements.

Mini Bernedoodle

Mini Bernedoodles are produced by breeding a Bernese Mountain Dog with a Miniature Poodle.

Typical size:

• 25–50 pounds

• 18–22 inches tall

Mini Bernedoodles are slightly more energetic and fit well in smaller homes while still having the wonderful Bernedoodle personality.

Standard Bernedoodle

Standard Bernedoodles are produced by breeding a Bernese Mountain Dog with a Standard Poodle.

Typical size:

• 60–90 pounds

• 23–29 inches tall

Standard Bernedoodles tend to have a calmer temperament as adults and are ideal for families wanting a larger companion.

As with any dog, interactions with young children should always be supervised while both the child and puppy learn respectful boundaries.

​

Are Bernedoodles Hypoallergenic?

No dog is completely hypoallergenic.

However, many Bernedoodles inherit the low-shedding coat of the Poodle, making them a popular choice for families looking for a dog that produces less dander and loose hair.

Each puppy's coat is unique, so no breeder can guarantee a completely allergy-free dog.

Families willing to invest time in training, grooming, and daily exercise often find Bernedoodles to be wonderful companions.
