More About Bernedoodle Breed

Bernese Mountain Dog

Poodle (Standard)

Overview:

The Bernedoodle, a charming cross between a Bernese Mountain Dog and a Standard Poodle, originated in North America, aiming to combine the Poodle's intelligence and low-shedding coat with the Bernese's gentle nature. Physically, they are medium to large-sized dogs, typically possessing a wavy or curly coat that can range in color from black to tri-color, and is generally hypoallergenic. Temperamentally, Bernedoodles are known for being affectionate, playful, and highly intelligent, making them relatively easy to train. They are an excellent choice for families due to their patient and loving demeanor, though their energy levels mean they thrive with active owners and a good-sized yard, making them less ideal for small apartment living without sufficient exercise. While generally healthy, potential health considerations can include hip and elbow dysplasia, eye conditions, and certain cancers, inherited from their parent breeds. Regular grooming is essential to prevent matting of their beautiful coats.
