F1BB Bernedoodle Family Tree

The family tree of F1BB Bernedoodle puppies is quite long because they are not the first or second generation but a second backcross breed. To understand how F1BB Bernedoodle puppies are bred, look at this table below.

The first-generation Bernedoodle is the direct offspring of a Bernese Mountain Dog and a Poodle, equally sharing their genetic makeup. When further crossed with a Poodle, it loses its Bernese parentage percentage to 25% and has the majority of its Poodle genes.

F1BB Bernedoodles are the litter of an F1B Bernedoodle and a purebred Poodle. Having over 80% of Poodle genes, this final generation is exceptionally smart and has better hypoallergenic qualities than previous generations.

Moreover, F1BB puppies may resemble a mini version of a Bernese Mountain Dog, but their looping curls and soft wool coats make them stand out.

Why Should You Consider F1BB Bernedoodles?

F1BB Bernedoodles, with their Poodle-dominant genetics, are a popular choice for multiple reasons – one of them being their low-shedding curly coat, which, despite requiring thorough grooming, is suitable for people with allergies.

Another decisive factor is the intelligence Bernedoodles inherit from Poodles. You won’t struggle with your F1BB puppy learning tricks and commands. And finally, their angelic look, adorable personality, and eagerness to please people – what’s more there to ask for?

The further down the generation tree we go, the less hybrid vigor a Bernedoodle has. It’s not particularly a bad thing since Bernedoodles are a designer breed that was created with stronger health than their purebred counterparts. Unlike Poodles and Bernese, F1BB Bernedoodle puppies are less likely to inherit hereditary diseases.

F1BB Bernedoodle Characteristics

F1BB Appearance and Color

F1BB Bernedoodles are incredibly versatile, offering a wide range of appearance possibilities. This generation is backbred to a purebred, giving them the unique mix of traits of an F1B Bernedoodle and a Poodle.

Not only can you have an eye-catching puppy, but also adopt one with the rarest combinations of tricolor, sable, brindle, white, merle, and more. The coat can range from cream hues to darker brown with sporadic spots of black and reddish.

F1BB Size

F1BB Bernedoodles can come in different sizes. How big your Bernedoodle puppy will get directly depends on the Poodle. Generally, F1BB Bernedoodles are available in Toy, Mini, and Standard sizes. Toy Bernedoodles are obviously lap dogs that don’t require much space, and Standard F1BB puppies grow almost half the size of a Bernese Mountain Dog.

F1BB Coat

F1BB Bernedoodle is the most sought-after puppy because of its qualities inherited from a purebred Poodle. The genetic makeup makes this puppy the most allergy-friendly among all generations, mainly due to their coat type.

F1BB Bernedoodles have wavy or curly coats that are extremely low-shedding, providing relief to allergy sufferers but also minimizing the need for constant cleanup.

Despite that, these Benredoodles require considerably more grooming and thorough brushing at least a few days a week. Otherwise, their curls will mat and tangle, leading to a dog’s discomfort.

F1BB Temperament

Renowned for their exceptional temperament, Bernedoodles of all generations make wonderful family pets. F1BB Bernedoodles are no exception, offering unwavering loyalty and companionship. They thrive in the company of children and are always up for adventures, whether it’s lounging on the couch or embarking on a day-long hike.
