Bernedoodles

Clever, goofy, gentle, and loyal. Bernedoodle fans boast that this mixed breed has the best of both worlds from its Bernese Mountain Dog and Poodle parents. There are three sizes of Bernedoodle: tiny, miniature, and standard. These result from the size of the Poodle parent, which can be a toy, mini, or standard size. The Tiny Bernedoodle stands at 12 to 17 inches tall at the shoulder and weighs about 10 to 24 pounds. The Miniature Bernedoodle stands at 18 to 22 inches tall and weighs 25 to 49 pounds. The Standard Bernedoodle stands at 23 to 29 inches and weighs 70 to 90 pounds. Males are generally larger than females. Bernedoodle coats can vary and look more Poodle-like or more closely resemble the Bernese Mountain Dog. Usually, they have wavy, curly coats that don’t shed much, which can help make them more suitable for people with allergies to dander. The color of Bernedoodle coats has quite a range. Some are pure black, others are black and white, and others are black and brown. Sometimes Bernedoodles are tri-colored with patches of black, white, and brown. They may even have other colors, as well. The most popular coat colors and markings for people seeking a Bernedoodle tend to resemble the tri-colored Bernese Mountain Dog.
