🐾
Bernedoodles are from the pairing of a Poodle and Bernese Mountain Dog.
They are loyal, affectionate, friendly, intelligent, and desire human companionship.
The Bernese Mountain Dog is a good natured and calm dog that loves to be with people. When paired with the fun loving, goofy, and highly intelligent Poodle this cross results in the perfect companion dog with minimal to non-shedding coat.

🐾
At Above and Beyond Standards, we breed F1 and F1B Medium & Standard Bernedoodle Puppies. We have Phantom, Sable, Traditional Tricolor, Parti, and Black & White Bicolor Bernedoodle Puppies.
Our Poodles and Bernese Mountain Dogs are AKC Registered and from excellent bloodlines. Our Bernedoodles are from excellent bloodlines and all Pedigree information traces back to their AKC lineage. Our Dams and Sires have obtained extensive health clearances prior to being bred. All of our Above and Beyond Standards Puppies come with Our 2 Year Health Guarantee to support this.
GENERATIONS F1 VS F1B
A First Generation (F1) Bernedoodle is produced when you cross a Bernese Mountain Dog with a Poodle. You can cross a Standard Poodle, Moyen Poodle, Miniature Poodle or a Toy Poodle to get different sizes, but this cross is always called an F1 Bernedoodle.
An F1B Bernedoodle is produced by crossing an F1 Bernedoodle with a Poodle. These dogs will have a higher success rate for non-shedding, and are recommended for families with allergies.
We breed both F1 Bernedoodles (50% Bernese Mountain Dog + 50% Poodle) and F1B Bernedoodles (25% Bernese Mountain Dog + 75% Poodle).
F1 Bernedoodles all have loose wavy coats that are typically minimal to light shedding, while F1B Bernedoodles coats can be loose wavy just like the F1 or curly and there are both coat types within the F1B litter. The F1B Bernedoodle is typically minimal to non-shedding.
SIZE
Our Bernedoodle Puppies are Medium Size, averaging 40-55 pounds once mature & also Standard Size, averaging 55-75+ pounds once mature. Who the parents are of the litter will determine the ultimate projected size. Please let me know if there is a specific size you are hoping for.
COAT AND COLOR
See some examples of our Bernedoodle puppies in the photos above!! The coat of a Bernedoodle can vary from straight, loose wavy or curly. An F1 Bernedoodle will have a loose wavy coat, while an F1B Bernedoodle litter has both curly and loose wavy coats within the litter.
The coat colors of Bernedoodles can vary based on the color genetics of the parents. At Above and Beyond Standards we will focus on Phantom, Sable, Traditional Tricolor, and Black & White Bicolor Bernedoodles. We will also have Parti Bernedoodles.
ACTIVITY LEVEL
The Bernedoodle requires a moderate amount of exercise. Daily walks are a must if you don't have a safely enclosed area for them to run freely. The Bernedoodle can be independent and does great being with family engaging in play, then happily laying on their own with a toy.
LIFESPAN
The lifespan of a Bernedoodle is increased due to the Poodle genetics. It is still unknown how long Bernedoodles will live as it is a newer cross. The expected lifespan is hoped to be 12-15 years.
PUPPIES AND TRAINING
Bernedoodle puppies are absolutely adorable. As with any dog, socialization and training should start while the dog is still a puppy and continue throughout its life. Look for a puppy kindergarten class locally or join the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Program, training based on positive techniques. You do not have to be an AKC purebred puppy to participate in their S.T.A.R. Puppy Program. Find a class here. This is a great place to start socializing and training. A well-socialized, well-trained Bernedoodle makes a wonderful family companion. Early socialization and training establishes those lifetime bonds between the family and puppy as these programs teach you how to communicate with your new puppy and get started on the right foot.
Also, for online training courses we highly recommend BAXTER & Bella.
