Trained Bernedoodle puppy

A Bernedoodle is a crossbred dog that is the result of breeding a Bernese Mountain Dog with a Poodle. These dogs are known for their intelligence, playful personality, and love of people. They are often described as being affectionate, loyal, and good with children.

Bernedoodles are a popular crossbred dog resulting from the breeding of a Bernese Mountain Dog with a Poodle. These dogs are cherished for their intelligence, playful nature, and affection towards people. They are known to be loyal, friendly, and excellent with children. Bernedoodles come in various sizes, depending on the Poodle parent's size. Miniature Bernedoodles, weighing around 15 to 30 pounds, are the offspring of a Miniature Poodle and a Bernese Mountain Dog. Standard Bernedoodles, weighing approximately 50 to 90 pounds, are the result of breeding a Standard Poodle with a Bernese Mountain Dog. There are several reasons for the surge in Bernedoodle popularity. Their temperament, hypoallergenic coats (which are often low-shedding), diverse size range, appealing teddy-bear-like appearance, and reduced likelihood of certain genetic health issues are some of the factors that make Bernedoodles an excellent choice for families and individuals alike. However, it's crucial to select a reputable breeder who conducts health tests to ensure the well-being of these hybrid dogs.

History of Bernedoodles in the United States

Bernedoodles are a relatively new breed, and their history in the United States can be traced back to the early 2000s. Bernedoodles are a cross between a Bernese Mountain Dog and a Poodle, resulting in a hypoallergenic dog that combines the best traits of both breeds.

The Bernedoodle first appeared in the United States when breeders began crossing Bernese Mountain Dogs with Poodles in an attempt to create a hypoallergenic dog with the temperament and appearance of a Bernese Mountain Dog. The first generation of Bernedoodles was called F1 Bernedoodles, and they were 50% Bernese Mountain Dog and 50% Poodle.

As the popularity of Bernedoodles grew, breeders began crossing Bernedoodles with other Bernedoodles, resulting in F2 Bernedoodles, F2B Bernedoodles, and so on. Each generation of Bernedoodles may have different traits, depending on the traits of the parent dogs. Our focus at Stokeshire is currently First Generation and F1B.

Today, Bernedoodles are a popular designer breed in the United States and are recognized by several organizations, including the International Designer Canine Registry (IDCR) and the Designer Breed Registry (DBR). They are known for their friendly and affectionate personalities, as well as their low-shedding coats, which make them a popular choice for people with allergies.

Bernedoodle Breed Information

Did you know that crossing genetically dissimilar breeds, such as two purebred dogs, can result in what's known as hybrid vigor or heterosis? This boosts the health, size, fertility, and longevity of the offspring. First Generation or F1 Bernedoodles are an example of this, and they often possess characteristics that exceed those of their purebred parents.

Hybrid vigor provides a variety of benefits to dogs, including improved immunity, reduced risk of genetic diseases, increased physical and behavioral diversity, and better overall health and longevity. So, don't let those who favor purebred dogs fool you! Mutts are the best, and purebreds initially came from breeding different dogs together to produce the best results for their time.

Many Americans are allergic to dogs, and exposure to dog hair, dander, or saliva can cause various symptoms. Although the term "hypoallergenic" is often used to describe certain dog breeds, products, or materials that produce fewer allergens, there is no such thing as a completely hypoallergenic dog breed or product. All dogs produce allergens through their skin, hair, and saliva, and people with allergies can still experience symptoms even when exposed to hypoallergenic breeds or products.

However, breeds such as Poodles and Bernedoodles that possess furnishings are often considered hypoallergenic. Furnishings in dogs refer to the longer, coarser hair that grows on certain areas of their face and body, such as the eyebrows, beard, and mustache. These areas of longer hair give the dog a distinctive appearance and texture and are characteristic of certain breeds. Furnishings can vary in length, thickness, and texture depending on the breed and the individual dog. In some breeds, such as the Poodle, the furnishings are tightly curled.

Furnishings can require extra grooming and maintenance to keep them clean and free of tangles and mats. Regular brushing and trimming may be necessary to keep the furnishings looking their best and to prevent discomfort or irritation for the dog.

It's always recommended to spend time with a dog before committing to ownership, especially if you have allergies, to see if you have a reaction to that particular dog. It's also important to consult with an allergist or doctor for proper diagnosis and management of allergies.

 

Bernedoodle SIzes

Overall, Bernedoodles are a popular breed of dog because they are known for being friendly, hypoallergenic, and adaptable to different lifestyles. Their cute appearance and lovable personality also make them a popular choice for many dog lovers.

Micro Mini Bernedoodles

Emery - Toy Poodle Stud

The Micro/Mini Bernedoodle stands at 12 to 18 inches tall at the shoulder and weighs about 10 to 24 pounds. Micro Mini Bernedoodles have a low-shedding coat that is curly or wavy and comes in a variety of colors, including black, white, brown, and gray. They are also known for being intelligent and easy to train, making them good candidates for obedience training and other dog sports. In our program, we have two F1 Miniature Bernedoodles that we breed to our toy poodle, Emery to produce our smallest variety of Bernedoodles at Stokeshire.



Miniature Bernedoodles

Phoenix - Moyen Phantom Poodle Stud

The Miniature Bernedoodle stands at 18 to 22 inches tall and weighs 25 to 50 pounds. You can achieve an F1 Mini Bernedoodle when breeding a Bernese to a Toy or Minature Poodle. Our Bernese Moutain Dog, Feta, paired with Emery or Phoenix will produce offspring in the size range, however, sometimes first generations of males can reach sizes larger than 50lbs.






Standard Bernedoodles

Standard Sable Bernedoodle Stud F1

F1 Stable Bernedoodle Stud - Moose

The Standard Bernedoodle stands at 23 to 29 inches and weighs 50 to 100 pounds. Males are generally larger than females. Our Moyen Size will be between a Standard and a Miniature. We have one standard litter planned for 2023 with our Merle Female Poodle Foxy and Lux, a Male Bernese Stud from Wisconsin. You can read more about therapy dogs and how standard and miniature bernedoodles may be some of the best options available.


Additional Bernedoodle Information

Bernedoodles are generally low-shedding dogs, thanks to the Poodle's hypoallergenic coat. However, they do require regular grooming to maintain the health of their coat and skin. They are also generally easy to train and are suitable for a variety of activities, including obedience, agility, and therapy work.

Possibly the fluffiest, softest of any Stokeshire doodle is our Bernedoodle. If you are looking for a smart and loyal dog that will be your companion for life, look no further than the Bernedoodle. Also known as the Bernese Mountain Poo, this breed is a combination of the Bernese Mountain Dog and the Poodle. These hybrid fluffy pooches combine the best of both worlds: the intelligence and low shedding coat of the Poodle combined with the laid-back, yet incredibly loyal nature of the Bernese.

Bernedoodles are generally good with children and other pets, and they are often used as therapy dogs due to their friendly and sociable nature.

The goal of crossbreeding these two popular dogs is to create a perfect companion for families of all shapes and sizes.
While Bernedoodle should ideally be a perfect mix of the parent breeds, with hybrids there is no guarantee. Not only that, in a litter of fluffy little Bernese Mountain Poos, all of the puppies might look different from each other and each one of them could have a wildly different personality as well. For example, your Bernedoodle puppy might take after its Poodle parent more and be a furry brainiac. Or they might favor their Swiss ancestry and turn out a bit more stubborn than you’d expect.

Bernedoodles are playful and affectionate – they do well with children and they love to spend time with their families.

From the Bernese Mountain Dog side, Bernedoodles can be a little wary around strangers so early socialization is important. Toy and mini Bernedoodles also tend to be more energetic and stubborn than standard Bernedoodles. One thing to be wary of with this breed is that they need a lot of human interaction, so they shouldn’t be left alone for long periods of time. This also means that separation anxiety could end up being a problem for Bernedoodles. It all comes down to whether or not they are not properly socialized on time. Because of this, it might be smart to start crate training them while they’re quite young. Teaching them that a crate could be their little safe space while you’re away at work could help them feel calmer and more relaxed whenever you’re not at home.

Their motivation is not to work, not to guard, but rather to be cheerful and spend time with the people that they love.

Bernedoodle FAQ

Are Bernedoodles Good Family Pets?

At Stokeshire we believe that Bernedoodles and their close cousins the AMD & GMD breeds are some of the most well suited dogs for families with children. Bernedoodles are often considered to be good family pets for a number of reasons. Here are a few key factors:

Family with Bernedoodle Puppy

Berndoodle as a Family Pet

Bernedoodles are known to be friendly, sociable, and affectionate dogs that adore spending time with their families. They also have a loyal and protective nature and get along well with children and other pets. Bernedoodles are intelligent and quick learners, making them easy to train and a great choice for activities such as obedience training and agility. Additionally, they are often bred with hypoallergenic coats, making them a perfect fit for families with allergies. Regular exercise and mental stimulation are essential for Bernedoodles, who are usually active dogs. However, they are considered a healthy breed with a long lifespan, and reputable breeders screen their dogs for genetic health issues to minimize the risk of inherited conditions. Bernedoodles can also play an essential role in helping children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) as service dogs or therapy dogs. Poodles and Bernese Mountain Dogs are commonly used as service or therapy dogs for children with ASD due to their hypoallergenic coats, intelligence, gentle nature, and affectionate temperament. However, not all dogs are fit for working with children with ASD, and it's crucial to work with a qualified service dog organization or trainer to ensure that the dog is well-trained and well-matched to the child's needs.

 

WHAT COLOR ARE BERNEDOODLES?

Bernedoodles can come in a variety of colors, depending on the colors of their Bernese Mountain Dog and Poodle parents. Some common colors for Bernedoodles include black, white, brown, cream, and a combination of these colors, often in a pattern known as "tri-color." Tri-color Bernedoodles typically have a black, white, and brown coat, with the brown being a rust or mahogany color. Other less common colors for Bernedoodles include apricot, red, and silver. The exact color and pattern of a Bernedoodle's coat can vary depending on genetics, so each Bernedoodle is unique! At Stokeshire our program works to secure the iconic Berner look with its regal tri-colored coat. We’ve also added blue merle and red merle into our lines.

List of Bernedoodle Coat Colors:


1. Black: Bernedoodles can be solid black in color, giving them a sleek and elegant look.
2. Brown: Also known as "chocolate," brown Bernedoodles have rich, warm tones that are absolutely eye-catching.
3. Phantom: Bernedoodles with the phantom coloring have a black base with markings of a lighter color, such as tan or cream, on their eyebrows, muzzle, chest, and legs.
4. Sable: This color variation features a base color of gold, red, or tan with black-tipped hairs in a grizzled pattern, creating a beautiful blend.
5. Merle: Bernedoodles with the merle pattern have a base color with patches of lighter or darker color, creating a visually captivating and unique appearance.
6. Tricolor: The tricolor Bernedoodles have a base color of black with contrasting white markings on their chest, muzzle, and paws, as well as tan or rust-colored accents on their eyebrows and cheeks.
7. Parti: This coloring features a predominantly white coat with patches of any other color, such as black, brown, or tan, dispersed throughout the body, giving them a fun and playful look.
8. Brindle: Bernedoodles with the brindle pattern have a base color with streaks or stripes of a darker color, creating a striking and distinctive coat.
While these are the most common colors found in Bernedoodles, it is important to note that Bernedoodles can have various combinations and shades within these colors, making each pup a unique and beautiful individual!

Black Tricolor Bernedoodle Puppy

Black Tri Berneoodle Puppy

Brown tri Bernedoodles are a popular color choice for many people, as the rich brown color can be a striking contrast against the black and white. However, it's important to note that the color and pattern of a Bernedoodle's coat can vary widely depending on genetics, so each Bernedoodle is unique!

 

Brown Tri Bernedoodle Puppy

A Brown Tri-Color Bernedoodle puppy is a type of mixed-breed dog that is a cross between a Bernese Mountain Dog and a Poodle. The "tri-color" in the name refers to the three predominant colors in their coat, which typically include brown, black, and white. Bernedoodles are known for their friendly and affectionate nature, making them great companions for families and individuals alike. This coat combination is only achievable on a second-generation cross where both lines carry brown as it is recessive.

 

Blue Merle Bernedoodle Puppy

A blue merle Bernedoodle is a Bernedoodle with a unique coat color and pattern that is the result of breeding a Bernese Mountain Dog and a Poodle with a merle gene. The Merle gene is a dominant gene that can affect the coat color and pattern of a dog.

Blue merle Bernedoodles have marbled or dappled coat that combines shades of gray or blue with black or brown patches. The blue color is caused by the dilution of the black color, resulting in a gray or blue hue. Merle patterns can vary widely and can create a range of striking and unique coat patterns.

It's important to note that breeding merle dogs can carry some health risks, as the merle gene is also linked to certain genetic health issues like deafness, blindness, and abnormalities of the eye, ear, and skeletal system. As such, reputable breeders take extra care when breeding merle dogs to ensure that they are healthy and free from any associated health issues.

Red Merle Bernedoodle Puppy

Producing a Red Merle Chocolate Brown Tri Merle Bernedoodle requires a thoughtful approach to selective breeding. Bernedoodles, which result from the crossbreeding of Bernese Mountain Dogs and Poodles, exhibit diverse coat colors and patterns driven by parental genetics. To attain the specific coat colors and patterns you desire, a solid grasp of genetic principles is crucial, along with the careful selection of parent dogs that possess the desired traits.

The Brown Tri-Color coat variation can be achieved through second-generation crosses. In recent years, the introduction of the merle modification into the breeding pool has occurred, originating from Poodle lines that carry the tri, parti, and merle genes. It's worth noting that Red Merle Tri Bernedoodles are exceptionally rare among Bernedoodle

 

Tri Parti Bernedoodle Puppy

A "Tri-Parti" Bernedoodle is a specific color pattern seen in some Bernedoodle puppies. This coat color pattern typically includes three distinct colors in the dog's coat. The term "Tri-Parti" is often used to describe the following color combination:

Black or Brown: This color usually forms the base of the coat. It can be either black or brown, depending on the genetics of the parents.

White: White is the second prominent color and is often seen as markings on the face, chest, paws, and tail.

Tan or Rust: The third color is typically a tan or rust color, and it is often seen as highlights or markings on the eyebrows, cheeks, legs, and sometimes the chest.

The combination of these three colors creates a distinctive and attractive coat pattern in Tri-Parti Bernedoodles. It's important to note that coat patterns can vary among individual dogs, and not all Bernedoodles will exhibit this exact pattern. The specific appearance of a Tri-Parti Bernedoodle's coat can depend on the genetics inherited from its Bernese Mountain Dog and Poodle parents.

What are the different generations of bernedoodles?

There are several different generations of Bernedoodles, which are determined by the breeding of Bernese Mountain Dogs and Poodles. The different generations of Bernedoodles are:

Tri Doodle Puppy
  1. F1 Bernedoodles: The first generation of Bernedoodles are known as F1 Bernedoodles, which are the result of breeding a purebred Bernese Mountain Dog with a purebred Poodle. F1 Bernedoodles are typically 50% Bernese Mountain Dog and 50% Poodle, which can result in a range of coat types and personalities.

  2. F1b Bernedoodles: F1b Bernedoodles are the result of breeding an F1 Bernedoodle with a purebred Poodle. This generation is typically 75% Poodle and 25% Bernese Mountain Dog, which can result in a curlier, hypoallergenic coat that is similar to a purebred Poodle.

  3. F2 Bernedoodles: F2 Bernedoodles are the result of breeding two F1 Bernedoodles together. This generation can result in a wider range of coat types and personalities, as the puppies will have a mix of Bernese Mountain Dog and Poodle genes.

  4. F2b Bernedoodles: F2b Bernedoodles are the result of breeding an F1 Bernedoodle with an F1b Bernedoodle. This generation is typically 62.5% Poodle and 37.5% Bernese Mountain Dog, which can result in a hypoallergenic coat that is similar to a purebred Poodle.

  5. F3 Bernedoodles and beyond: F3 Bernedoodles and beyond refer to any subsequent generations of Bernedoodles that result from further breeding between Bernedoodles. These generations can continue to produce a wide range of coat types and personalities.

  6. A reverse F1b Bernedoodle is a type of Bernedoodle that is created by breeding a purebred Poodle with an F1 Bernedoodle. This is different from a traditional F1b Bernedoodle, where an F1 Bernedoodle is bred with a purebred Poodle.

    In a reverse F1b Bernedoodle, the puppies will have more Bernese Mountain Dog genetics than a traditional F1b Bernedoodle, as the Bernese Mountain Dog parent is an F1 Bernedoodle rather than a purebred Bernese Mountain Dog. This can result in puppies with a wider range of coat types and personalities, as they will have a mix of Poodle and Bernese Mountain Dog genetics.

    It's important to note that reverse F1b Bernedoodles are a less common type of Bernedoodle and may be more difficult to find from a reputable breeder. As with any Bernedoodle, it's important to do your research and choose a breeder who prioritizes the health and welfare of their dogs. These can sometimes be referred to as Ultra Bernedoodles by some breeders.

  7. Multigenerational Bernedoodles are Bernedoodles that have been bred over several generations, typically by breeding Bernedoodles with other Bernedoodles rather than with purebred Bernese Mountain Dogs or Poodles. By doing so, breeders can work to establish certain traits, such as coat type or size, while also minimizing the risk of genetic disorders and increasing the predictability of certain characteristics.

    Multigenerational Bernedoodles can vary in size, coat type, and temperament depending on the specific breeding practices and genetics of the individual dog. Generally, multigenerational Bernedoodles have a higher likelihood of having a hypoallergenic coat and a more consistent appearance compared to earlier-generation Bernedoodles.

It's important to note that the specific traits of each Bernedoodle can vary depending on their individual genetics and the breeding practices of their breeder.

 

Can BernedoodleS be a service or Therapy Dog?

Yes, a Bernedoodle can potentially be a therapy dog. Therapy dogs are dogs that are trained to provide comfort, companionship, and emotional support to people in hospitals, nursing homes, schools, and other settings. They are often chosen for their friendly and calm temperaments, and their ability to adapt to different environments and situations.

EMS or Therapy Dog Options

Are you considering a Bernedoodle as a therapy dog? These beloved pups, a mix of Bernese Mountain Dog and Poodle, are renowned for their intelligence, loyalty, and affectionate nature. They make excellent therapy dogs due to their ability to learn appropriate behavior in various settings and interact with people in a calming and comforting way.

However, it's important to note that becoming a therapy dog is a rigorous process requiring specific training and certification. We recommend working with a professional trainer who can help you and your furry friend learn the necessary skills and pass the required tests.

Bernedoodles form strong bonds with their owners and are always ready to show affection when needed.

Thanks to their intelligence, they are easy to train and won't give you a hard time during training sessions. They are not only obedient and loyal but also eager to please their owners, providing a constant source of companionship and affection.

Bernedoodles have a friendly, loving, and social nature, making them ideal therapy dogs. They also have an exceptional temperament and are comfortable with being touched or petted on any part of their body. Their minimal shedding makes them an ideal breed for patients who are allergic to dog dander and hair.

Choose from three sizes to find the perfect Bernedoodle to meet your needs and requirements.

  • Provide proper nutrition: Bernedoodles are active dogs and will need a high-quality diet to support their energy needs. Choose a dog food that is appropriate for their age, size, and activity level.

  • Health care: Bernedoodles are generally healthy dogs, but they may be prone to certain health conditions such as hip dysplasia and eye problems. It is important to take them for regular check-ups and to follow the advice of your veterinarian.

By providing proper care, including a healthy diet, regular grooming, daily exercise, training, and regular health care, you can help your Bernedoodle live a long and happy life.

 

Are Bernedoodles trainable?

Our trainer Garrison

Bernedoodles are generally considered to be intelligent and eager to please, which can make them relatively easy to train. However, as with any breed, it's important to start training and socialization early and to be consistent, patient, and positive in your training methods. It's also important to keep in mind that every individual dog is different and may have their own unique personality and learning style, so it's always a good idea to consult with a professional trainer or behaviorist if you have any concerns or need additional guidance.
