Bernedoodles FAQs

We get this question every day—and we answer it with honesty and care. No dog is 100% hypoallergenic, but Bernedoodles come very close for many allergy sufferers, thanks to their Poodle heritage and low-shedding coats.

• F1B and multigenerational Bernedoodles (with more Poodle) produce less dander and shed minimally, making them a top choice for persons with higher allergies.
• F1 Bernedoodles have stronger Bernese traits, so they may shed a bit more but still shed far below a pure Bernese Mountain Dog.
  
• 
  
• Allergies vary person-to-person—so some families may snuggle with wavy-coated pups with zero sneezes, while others may do best with tight curls.
  

If you could bottle childhood joy, it would look like a Bernedoodle and a kid mid-zoomies in the backyard. These gentle goofballs are born family dogs, patient and protective without a mean bone in their fluffy bodies.

Picture this:

• - Your toddler “reading” a board book to a curled-up Bernedoodle (who’s definitely listening).
  
• - A standard Bernedoodle calmly letting kids dress him in fairy wings for a tea party.
• - Puppies raised in our home with visiting grandkids, learning early that little humans = playtime + gentle mouths.
• 
  

Safety first, always:

• - Supervise all play (even the sweetest pups are still learning).
• - Teach kids to respect space (no tail-pulling!).
• - Start with short, positive interactions—our pups come pre-loaded with kid manners.

A Bernedoodle doesn’t just tolerate children—they thrive on the chaos, giggles, and endless games of fetch. Ready for your family’s new MVP (Most Valuable Pup)?

Already have a cat who rules the roost? A senior dog who prefers quiet? No problem—Bernedoodles are social butterflies with manners. Their easygoing vibe and early socialization make them pros at multi-pet homes.

Tips for smooth intros:

• - Slow meet-and-greets on neutral ground
• - Baby gates for safe zones
• - Equal love (no jealousy snacks!)

Whether your crew is furry, feathered, or scaly, a Bernedoodle just wants to be part of the pack.

Watching a Bernedoodle puppy grow is pure magic. Here’s your front-row seat to the first 12 weeks:

Milestones & Cuteness Overload:

• 0–3 weeks - Eyes open, first wobbly steps, mom’s milk bar open 24/7
  
• 3–6 weeks - Play bows, tiny barks, zoomies on tile floors, first solid food
  
• 6–8 weeks - Vet check, first vaccine, crate training begins, personality explodes
  
• 8–12 weeks - “Fear period” (new sounds = big deal), bite inhibition lessons, car ride champ

Every milestone is a memory. We can’t wait for you to make your own.

Bernedoodles were born to bond. Here are paw-some ways to make memories:

🐾 For Tiny/Mini Adventurers

- Sniffari walks (let them “read the pee-mail”)

- Indoor agility (tunnels, low jumps)

- Frozen Kong puzzles (brain workout + snack)

🌲 For Standard Explorers

- Hiking (they’ll carry their own backpack!)

- Dock diving (Poodle swim genes = splash champs)

- Therapy dog training (visiting hospitals with that smile)

🎓 For Clever Cookies (All Sizes)

- Trick training: spin, play dead, “find the toy”

- Canine freestyle (dancing to music—yes, really!)

- Scent work classes (nose games = tired, happy pup)

Pro tip: End every adventure with a cuddle. That’s the Bernedoodle way.
