About the Bernedoodle
The Bernedoodle is a cross between a Bernese Mountain Dog and a Poodle. This combination was developed to create a dog that offers companionship, intelligence, and a calmer presence than many high-energy breeds.
Bernedoodles are often appreciated for their relaxed demeanor and strong bond with their families. While individual personalities vary, many display a thoughtful, gentle nature and enjoy being included in everyday routines.

Bernedoodle Lifestyle Fit
Bernedoodles are often a good match for families looking for a calm, affectionate companion that adapts well to family life. They generally enjoy moderate activity, daily interaction, and relaxed routines rather than constant high-energy exercise.
Families throughout Meridian, Eagle, and Boise often choose Bernedoodles because they offer a balance of companionship, size, and temperament.
Grooming, Coat & Shedding Expectations
Bernedoodles typically have a wavy to curly coat that requires regular grooming to stay healthy and comfortable. While many families are drawn to the breed for reduced shedding compared to some double-coated dogs, consistent coat maintenance is still an important part of long-term care. Without routine brushing, the coat can become matted, especially around areas like the ears, chest, and legs.
​
Most Bernedoodles benefit from brushing several times per week to prevent tangles and maintain coat texture. Many families also choose professional grooming on a regular schedule to keep the coat manageable and support overall skin health. Grooming appointments often include bathing, trimming, nail care, and ear cleaning, which helps keep the dog comfortable and well-maintained.
​
Because coat type can vary depending on genetics and generation, grooming needs may differ slightly from one Bernedoodle to another. Families considering this breed should be prepared for ongoing coat care and view grooming as a routine part of ownership rather than an occasional task. With consistency, grooming becomes predictable and manageable, contributing to both the dog’s comfort and overall well-being.
