How often do you have Bernedoodle litters?

Bernedoodle litters are less frequent than our Goldendoodle and Cockapoo litters. Join the waitlist and we'll email you when the next pairing is announced.

Do you raise Standard Bernedoodles?

No. Our program is Mini Bernedoodles (20–30 lb), with occasional Medium pairings (30–50 lb).

How long do Bernedoodles live?

Bernedoodles typically live 12–15 years.

Are Bernedoodles easy to train?

Bernedoodles usually respond well to short, consistent sessions and high-value food rewards. Begin training from the first day home and keep it positive.

What tri-color patterns are common?

Our Bernedoodle litters may include traditional black, white, and rust tri-color, phantom, sable, and occasional merle. Each published litter page lists the colors expected from that pairing.

Are your Bernedoodles non-shedding and hypoallergenic?

Our Bernedoodles are bred for non-shedding coats, and both parents are coat-panel verified for non-shedding gene variants. “Hypoallergenic” does not mean allergy-free, so if allergies are a concern, spend time with a similar-coated doodle or poodle before reserving.

Are Bernedoodles good with kids?

Bernedoodles can do well with children, but individual temperament matters. Supervise early play and teach both the puppy and the children how to interact calmly.

Can a Bernedoodle live in an apartment?

Our Mini Bernedoodles are projected at 20–30 lb, with occasional Medium pairings at 30–50 lb. Apartment living can work when daily walks and play are part of the routine.

We raise Mini Bernedoodles, usually 20–30 lb, with occasional Medium pairings in the 30–50 lb range. These litters are less frequent than our Goldendoodle and Cockapoo litters. Every parent is Embark health-tested and coat-panel verified before a pairing goes forward. Every parent is at least F1B; most are multigenerational.

A Bernedoodle is a Bernese Mountain Dog–Poodle cross.

Temperament

Many Bernedoodles are steady, playful, and closely bonded to their families. Some warm up to new people more gradually than others, so we match by the individual puppy's temperament.

Mini Bernedoodle Size & Growth

We raise Mini Bernedoodles primarily (20–30 lb, 16–20 inches) and occasional Medium pairings (30–50 lb, 18–22 inches). We do not raise Standard Bernedoodles.

Coat Types & Grooming

Bernedoodle coats may be traditional tri-color, phantom, sable, or occasionally merle. Coats range from wavy to curly, and every parent is coat-panel verified for non-shedding. Brush with a straight-tooth comb at least once a week and plan for a full professional groom every 2–3 months.

Energy & Exercise

Bernedoodle energy varies by puppy. Plan on daily walks and play, then adjust the amount to the individual dog.

Health & Lifespan

Bernedoodles live 12–15 years.

Both parents complete Embark's 200+ condition panel before a pairing goes forward. Every parent is also coat-panel verified for non-shedding.

Bernedoodles have drop ears, which can hold moisture. Apply a gentle ear flush and wipe every two weeks, and ask your groomer to assess ear hair at each visit.

Our one-year health guarantee can be extended to two years through NuVet (code 594016). Read the full terms before reserving.

Training

Bernedoodles usually respond well to positive-reinforcement, marker-based training with high-value food rewards. Keep sessions short and consistent from the first day home.

If you'd like professional support with the early weeks, our close friends at Much Ado About Doodles offer optional one- and three-month training programs before hand-delivery. Current details are on the training page.
