About Bernedoodles

The Bernese Mountain Dog brings its affectionate, loyal, and gentle nature to the mix. Historically bred in the Swiss Alps as farm dogs, Bernese are good-natured and self-assured, making them excellent family companions. However, their shorter lifespan and susceptibility to certain health conditions are addressed through careful breeding and genetic testing to ensure healthier, longer-lived Bernedoodles.

Known for their intelligence, playfulness, and eagerness to please, Poodles are the perfect complement to the Bernese. Poodles bring hypoallergenic qualities and an athletic, fun-loving personality, making them a cornerstone of the Bernedoodle’s charm.

Australian Labradoodles (ALDs) are intelligent, social, and trainable dogs originally bred for service work. Their non-shedding, allergy-friendly coats and gentle dispositions make them a wonderful addition to the Australian Bernedoodle lineage.

This is a 50/50 mix and can be Bernese Mountain Dog bred to any size poodle, or a Bernese bred to an Australian Labradoodle which is called an F1 Australian Bernedoode. This pairing is low to minimal shedding and allergy friendly.

These will be any type of F1 Bernedoodle bred back to a Poodle. This results in 75% Poodle and 25% Bernese Mountain Dog, or 2nd Gens can be a F1 Australian Bernedoodle bred back to a poodle resulting in 25% Bernese, 25% ALD, and 50% Poodle. These pairings produce the most hypo-allergenic and non-shedding dog.

These are a combination of a F1 Bernedoodle bred to a F1B Bernedoodle, Multi generational Bernedoodle or Australian Labradoodle pairings. These pairings are more likely to produce a non-shedding and hypoallergenic dog with a consistent hair coat in the litter.

Any generation that has been bred with an Australian Labradoodle is considered an Australian Bernedoodle. This can be a F1 or 1st Generation which is 50% Bernese/50% Australian Labradoodle. This pairing will have low to minimal shedding and allergy friendly. The 2nd Generation is an F1 Australian Bernedoodle bred to a Poodle.

This is a F1 Bernedoodle bred to an Australian Labradoodle – also considered a Multi Gen or Teddy Bear. These pairings produce the soft fleece coat that is know in the Australian Labradoodle.  This also produces a more stout bone structure and boxy head.  The first generation breeding will produce Tricolor, Phantom and Bi-color litters, while the 2nd generation or multi gen breedings will have a variety of different coloring in the litters.  There is NO Australian Shepherd in an Australian Bernedoodle.
