Size and Appearance

• Size: Bernedoodles come in different sizes, depending on the size of the Poodle parent. Standard Bernedoodles typically weigh between 70 and 90 pounds and stand about 23 to 29 inches tall. Miniature Bernedoodles, which are a cross with a Miniature Poodle, weigh between 25 and 49 pounds and are about 18 to 22 inches tall.
• Coat: Bernedoodles have a hypoallergenic, low-shedding coat, similar to the Poodle. Their coats are generally wavy or curly and require regular grooming to prevent matting. Their tri-colored coats, with shades of black, white, and tan, are one of their most distinctive and beautiful features.
• Color: The typical colors of a Bernedoodle are black, white, and tan, but some may have more variations of color, such as sable or a darker shade of brown.

Bernedoodles are known for their affectionate, loyal, and easygoing nature. Here's a closer look at their personality traits:

• Affectionate and Loyal: Bernedoodles are loving dogs that bond closely with their family. They are known for their loyalty and often want to be by your side, making them great companions for both individuals and families.
• Intelligent and Trainable: Thanks to their Poodle heritage, Bernedoodles are highly intelligent and eager to please. They are relatively easy to train, making them a great choice for first-time dog owners.
• Playful and Fun: Bernedoodles are playful, energetic, and enjoy participating in family activities. Whether it's playing in the yard, taking a walk, or playing fetch, they thrive on interaction and fun.
• Calm and Gentle: While they are active and playful, Bernedoodles are also known for their calm demeanor. They are gentle with children and make excellent family pets, especially in households that are looking for a dog that is both energetic and relaxed when needed.

Exercise Needs

While Bernedoodles are not as high-energy as some other breeds, they still need regular exercise to keep them healthy and happy:

• Daily Walks: A daily walk is essential to keep them physically fit. Bernedoodles enjoy walks and can keep up with moderate activity levels.
• Playtime: They love outdoor play, whether it's running in the yard, fetching, or enjoying interactive games. It's important to keep them mentally stimulated and physically active to prevent boredom.
• Social Activities: Bernedoodles thrive on social interaction. They love being part of the family and will enjoy participating in all kinds of activities, from hiking to lounging on the couch.

Health and Grooming

Bernedoodles are generally healthy dogs, but like all breeds, they can be prone to certain health issues. Here’s what to watch out for:

• Hip Dysplasia: Like many larger breeds, Bernedoodles may be prone to hip dysplasia, a condition that can cause discomfort or arthritis in the hips.
• Ear Infections: Their floppy ears can trap moisture, so regular ear cleaning is necessary to prevent infections.
• Health Guarantee: At Fifth Day Doodle Farms, we offer a health guarantee with every Bernedoodle, ensuring that your puppy is healthy, well-cared-for, and ready to join your family.

Grooming Needs

Bernedoodles require regular grooming to keep their coat in top condition:

• Brushing: Due to their wavy or curly coat, Bernedoodles need to be brushed 2-3 times a week to prevent matting and keep their coat healthy.
• Bathing: They should be bathed every 4-6 weeks or as needed, especially after playing outdoors or getting dirty.
• Ear Cleaning: Their floppy ears require regular cleaning to prevent moisture build-up and infections.
• Nail Trimming: Regular nail trimming is necessary to prevent overgrowth and discomfort.
