What Is a Bernedoodle Puppy?

The Bernedoodle is a generation cross between two wonderful purebreds: the Bernese Mountain Dog and Poodle. This successful hybrid has been known to have intelligence, loyalty towards its human family members, gentle nature like that of its parent’s breeds, and excel in interactivity with people.

Bernedoodles are very gentle around children and the elderly. They are also known to make excellent therapy dogs. Furthermore, due to their high level of intelligence, mini Bernedoodle puppies are very straightforward to train, making them a perfect canine companion for practically any home. 

Indeed, with so many numerous traits, Bernedoodles, despite their relatively young presence, have quickly become one of the most popular breeds nationwide.

As for their temperament, most Bernedoodle puppies have a moderate activity level. Like most dogs, they love to play and go for walks. As puppies and adult dogs, they may stop and explore if something interests them, but they never stray far. If they take after their Poodle parent, they may even have a knack for retrieving and can spend endless hours bringing back balls and sticks.

Bernedoodle Breeders in Iowa FAQs

Some of the best Bernedoodle breeders, like us, will offer a 2-Year Health Guarantee to show you we mean business! Once a Bernedoodle litter is born, we take our Doodles to a licensed veterinarian for genetic testing, where all our puppies receive all required shots to ensure excellent health.

When a litter is available, we post the parents along with the pups. You can review their bio, see previous litters, their well-being, and why our adult dogs are superior. When buying from Central Illinois Doodles, however, you can rest assured the parents, both the Bernese Mountain Dog and Poodle, are purebred.

At Central Illinois Doodles, we breed two types of Bernedoodle puppies – standard and mini Bernedoodles. And while both these types are incredibly adorable, they do come with several unique traits.

Standard Bernedoodles: Our F1 Standard Bernedoodles result from breeding a Bernese Mountain Dog to a Standard Poodle. This first-generation cross (50% Bernese/50% Poodle) produces wavy, low to non-shedding, allergy-friendly coats.

The Standard Bernedoodle is typically a low-energy dog and makes a great companion for a relatively inactive person. Iowa families love our Standards for their goofy, calm, and affectionate personalities.

Mini Bernedoodles: Our F1 Mini Bernedoodles result from breeding a Bernese Mountain Dog to a Mini Poodle. This first-generation cross (50% Bernese/50% Mini Poodle) produces wavy, low to non-shedding, allergy-friendly coats.

The Mini Bernedoodle is a medium-energy dog, which makes them an excellent balance of mellow and small bursts of athletic energy. Iowa families love our Mini Bernedoodles for their charming, loving, intelligent personalities.
