The Bernedoodle is a Hybrid cross between the Bernese Mountain dog and the standard Poodle, “Invented” in 2003, Bernedoodle's and their smaller hybrid relatives, the Mini Bernedoodle have exploded in popularity ever since. This versatile mixed breed comes in three size variations in the UK. These sizes are Mini, Standard and Ultra. This makes them adaptable to various living situations. A full-grown Bernedoodle is often medium-to-large-sized. It can reach up to 45kgs in weight and average 26 inch to the withers.The Bernedoodle coat texture can range from straight to wavy to curly. Each type influences their hypoallergenic qualities and grooming needs. Curly coats, inherited from the Poodle, are the most hypoallergenic but need more frequent grooming every 6-8 weeks to prevent matting. Wavy coats, a common mix of both parent breeds, are low-shedding, easier and less costly to maintain. Straight coats, though less common, resemble the Bernese Mountain Dog’s silky soft fur and may shed much more.

There is NEVER a guarantee that they will not shed.

The Bernedoodle can come in a full spectrum of colours, The poodle breed has more colour variations than most other breeds, We see everything from white, Cream, red all the way through to the solid black, They also have a wide variety of patterns including merle, phantoms, Tux and Parti, This helps when trying to replicate the beautiful tricolour of a Bernese Mountain dog.

Merles should not be standard with F1 Bernedoodle's as it takes two copies of the merle gene to see it visually expressed, Of which a Bernese does not carry, However the more times bred back to a poodle (meaning F1b and multi gen) will increase the chance of it showing, Merles are beautiful but they require responsible owners who understand the implications of breeding accidentally to another carrier, This causes birth defects, blindness and deafness, Skin issues and sun allergies.

You will hear the terms F1, F1b and F2, when looking at this hybrid breed

F1 ~ first generation, a 50/50 mix of Bernese and poodle.

F1b ~ one parent is an F1 but the other parent can be either another  F1, a full Poodle or a full Bernese (When bred back to the Bernese we call these  ultra Bernedoodle, 75% Bernese).

F2 ~ A F1b is mated to another F1b, Becoming a multi generation Bernedoodle, Making traits more consistent.

I aim for a dogs that are deep chest, slightly longer than tall, Low hocks and good bone, Broad muzzle not too long, expressive eyes and floppy ears, Coats either wavy or curly, Low to non shedding through selective breeding.
