About Bernedoodles
Origins of the Bernedoodle
The Bernedoodle, a combination of a Poodle and a Brnese Mountain Dog, was first bred intentionally in 2003. When you cross these two breeds, you combine the characteristics of both parents, while decreasing the risk of breed-specific health issues.
A Bernese Mountain Dog is known for being:
Intelligent
Hard-working
Loyal
Gentle
Friendly
Social
Playful
High-shedding
Prone to certain health issues, like hip dysplasia and hypothyroidism
Poodles are known for being:
Intelligent (regarded as one of the most intelligent breeds in the world)
Low-shedding with curly fur
Friendly with kids and other animals
Playful
Highly trainable
Lovers of water
Good hunters
Prone to certain health issues like bloat, hypoglycemia, hip dysplasia, and epilepsy
When you combine these two breeds to create the Bernedoodle, you get an adorable dog that is ideal for families. Intelligent and playful with curly fur with different markings and coloring of a Bernese Mountain Dog, the Bernedoodle ranks high in the cuteness category. They are sought after in part due to their low-shedding coat,
They will still shed, although minimally, thanks to their Poodle parentage. The Bernedoodle also loves water, active playing/running, and cuddling with their family members.
The Bernese Mountain dog is expected to live around 8 years, being a large dog that experiences genetic health conditions as he ages. A Poodle is expected to live around 12-15 years. The Bernedoodle has a life expectancy of 10-14 years.
The combination of the Bernese and the Poodle is then an easy going dog, gentle with children and elderly, but there is also a wonderful sense of vibrancy. They are wonderful companion/therapy dogs and thrive on being around people. Coat types range from wavy to curly. The curlier the coat, the less your dog will shed. Even if the coat is wavy, it will still be classed as low shedding, especially in comparison to a purebred Bernese. Bernedoodles require regular brushing/grooming to keep their coats in mint condition. To keep this beautiful coat we recommend your Bernedoodle sees a groomer 3-4 times a year.
