Not only for their strikingly good looks, and believe me when I say the unsolicited attention they receive when out and about will astound you! They are good natured, loyal, gentle, wonderful family pets, along with a funny, goofy nature, that will have you laughing at their antics. Come along with me while I explain why they are a great choice for your next best friend.
What is a
Bernedoodle?
Whether you say Bernedoodle, Bernadoodle, Berniedoodle or even Burmadoodle, we've all grown to love this amazing breed. They are an adorable crossbreed, combining the Bernese Mountain Dog and Poodle. "Bernedoodles", are known for their loving personalities, combined with high intelligence and low-shedding coats. They retain the friendly demeanor, protective nature and calm, from the Bernese Mountain Dog and intelligence and lack of shedding from the Poodles. Not only is this mixed breed a strikingly beautiful dog, they are incredibly smart! Bernadoodles enjoy pleasing their owners - which makes them relatively easy to train. Due to their natural curiosity, Berniedoodles require regular mental stimulation, thus keeping toys around, playing fetch, taking them for walks regularly and training, are activities that will help your Bermadoodle thrive. Burnedoodles are pretty sensitive dogs (which is something they inherit from the Bernese Mountain Dog side). Due to their intelligence, they can quickly pick up on changes in tone or attitude. Therefore, it's important to remain gentle and calm with them. Being kind, loving and patient is key to connecting with this hybrid dog.
