Mini Bernedoodle Breed Overview

The Mini Bernedoodle is a charming hybrid, skillfully blending the loyal, often mellow nature of the Bernese Mountain Dog with the intelligence and low-shedding qualities of the Miniature Poodle. These medium-sized dogs typically weigh between 25-50 pounds and stand 18-22 inches tall, inheriting a range of beautiful wavy to curly coats in colors like black, black and white, tri-color, and phantom, often giving them an endearing "teddy bear" appearance.

Their temperament is a highlight: highly affectionate and devoted, they thrive on family companionship and are remarkably intelligent and eager to please, making them excellent candidates for training and well-suited for first-time dog owners. Mini Bernedoodles are also known for being sociable, friendly with children and other pets, and possess a joyful, playful spirit. While adaptable to various living situations, they have a moderate energy level, requiring consistent daily walks, playtime, and mental stimulation to prevent boredom.

Grooming is a significant commitment. Their beautiful coats, though low-shedding and often considered more hypoallergenic, demand frequent brushing (several times a week, or even daily for curlier types) to prevent painful matting that can form close to the skin. Professional grooming every 6-8 weeks is essential for trims and overall coat health, alongside regular ear cleaning (due to floppy ears trapping moisture) and diligent dental care, as small breeds can be prone to teeth issues.
