A blend of the Bernese mountain dog and the Poodle, this hybrid is an excellent choice for those who wish to have a loving canine companion in their home but have allergies to contend with. The intended disposition of this mixed breed is to be the perfect companion dog. "Their only job is to be your best friend," says Sherry Rupke of Swissridge Kennels, who is credited as being the first breeder to intentionally mix Poodles with Bernese mountain dogs.
By mixing the Bernese mountain dog with the Poodle, the result is a designer dog breed that exhibits the best characteristics of two of the healthiest breeds of dogs. In fact, due to a theory known as "hybrid visor", it's likely that your Bernedoodle will have a longer and healthier lifespan than even their purebred parents. Bernedoodles are content to join you on a hike or run, or a snuggle on the couch during movie time.
