Introducing a special litter from Pepper, an AKC standard Tri Parti Doodle, and Garth Brooks, a multi-generational Merle Bernedoodle. This pairing offers stunning, low-shedding Merle Bernedoodle puppies that blend the best traits of their parent breeds.

This Merle Bernedoodle is a cross between a Bernese Mountain Dog and a Poodle, known for its unique Merle coat pattern, which features diluted patches of color in blue, red, and chocolate. The Bernese Mountain Dog brings its friendly and gentle nature, while the Poodle adds intelligence and hypoallergenic qualities.

All puppies from this litter will be FF (furnishing gene positive) and +/- for wave, resulting in beautiful, low-shedding, wavy coats. These coats are traditional for Bernedoodles, offering a perfect balance between curl and wave, ideal for families seeking a low-maintenance, allergy-friendly pet. The wavy coat will help reduce shedding, making these puppies a great choice for those with mild allergies, while still maintaining the classic Bernedoodle look. With their smaller size and moderate energy levels, they’ll thrive in active households, offering affection, loyalty, and intelligence.

These puppies are expected to weigh between 35-45 lbs, with coat colors and patterns influenced by both Pepper and Garth Brooks. As multigenerational Bernedoodles, they bring consistency in temperament and coat type, making them well-suited for allergy-sensitive families. Raised in a loving environment, they will be ready to go home to their forever families, combining beauty, health, and temperament in one perfect package.
