Bernedoodles

F1
Bernedoodles are bred in a variety of generations. The F1 is a straight cross between a Poodle and Bernese Mountain Dog, making the puppies 50% Poodle and 50% Bernese Mountain Dog. F1 Bernedoodles are more apt to have straighter, more coarse coats than their F1b counterparts.

F1B
The F1b is a crossback (hence the “b”) of the F1 Bernedoodle to a Poodle, making the puppies 25% Bernese Mountain Dog and 75% Poodle. This is a popular generation because these puppies are less likely to shed and are less likely to contribute to allergies, which are characteristics of the Poodle. The coat of an F1b is more likely to be curly, like the Poodle.

What is a bernedoodle?

They are a cross between a Bernese Mountain Dog and a Poodle.

Common traits of bernedoodles

They are known as the perfect companion. They have the intelligence and goofy liveliness of the poodle, but the calm, loyalty of the Bernese. Like Bernese, they are gentle, especially around children and elderly. Bernedoodles have a more moderate activity level. They love to run and play, going for walks or hikes, and may even like swimming, however, when it is time to relax, they are the best at snuggling up right next to you.
