ALL ABOUT BERNEDOODLES
Bernedoodles are a wonderful combination of the fun and playful poodle and the laid back, lazy and loyal Berner, which is why they have become one of the most desirable doodles in the last few years. More and more bernedoodles are being seen in public and their attractiveness combined with their wonderful temperament is really drawing more and more people to this wonderful cross-breed!
Although we ourselves passionately love the Bernese breed, we understand that not everyone is able to have them. Whether it might be a dog allergy, the excessive shedding or their massive size, not everyone can handle the 100+ pounds of love and hair that go along with owning a Berner! For more information on this breed specifically, please reference our Bernese Mountain Dog tab. In a nutshell, Berners are happiest anywhere they are with their people, regardless of what they might be doing! They're truly a easy-going breed that are not hard to love, and now everyone has the opportunity to enjoy life with a Berner in one way or another!
Their counterpart, the poodle, is INCREDIBLY intelligent. Originally bred as hunting dogs, they have a very keen sense of smell and are easily trained. They are clever and very goofy animals that add excitement and a healthy level of spunk to our life! Outside, we’ve noticed they can be slightly aloof and found off on their own, exploring. However, inside they are lovable snugglers and happy to lay around, waiting for the next opportunity to get outside and dirty!!
What size is right for you??
Bernedoodles come in all sizes and colors. We are excited about the opportunity to offer a variety of sizes in our F1 puppies and F1B puppies.
We can now offer a variety of sizes based on different pairings within our program. Since we are a smaller program, we do our best to offer a variety of sizes and colors throughout the year and can adjust our litter plans to accommodate what the families on our waitlist desire. Be sure to let us know what size you prefer during your phone interview.
Full Size Standard Bernedoodles (65-90+ pounds): We use our purebred BMD females to produce our full size F1 puppies. Lambeau and Rocky are our main full size bernedoodle studs, but we sometimes use outside stud services to produce a variety of colors based on waitlist needs.
Medium Bernedoodles (40-70 pounds): Using a slightly smaller poodle or smaller Bernese, we can produce medium sized F1 Bernedoodles.
Mini Bernedoodles (30-50 pounds): We use our smaller poodles and bernedoodle females for our mini bernedoodles.
Micro Mini Bernedoodles (15-30 pounds): With the addition of a mini poodle to our program, we can now produce healthy, safe micro mini bernedoodles for our families!
All of our dogs are showcased on our Dogs page, with pictures and bios once they complete their health testing!

TRADITIONAL TRICOLOR
BERNEDOODLE PUPPIES
Traditional Tricolor Bernedoodles resemble the purebred BMD in their coloring and markings. They have the traditional black base coat with white on their face, paws and tip of their tail. They all have the traditional white cross on their chest and brown points on their face and legs. Typically traditional tricolor puppies will fade a little less than your sable puppies, remaining dark in their adult life or sometimes lighten to more of a silver for their base coat.

Our traditional tricolor puppies will come from our standard poodle studs, Lambeau and Rocky. On occasion, we use outside studs to produce additional tricolor puppies.

PHANTOM BERNEDOODLE PUPPIES
Phantom bernedoodles are very similar to traditional tricolor but do not express a white blaze on their face. A phantom abstract puppy will still be able to express white on their paws/tail/chest! Typically phantom puppies will mature similarly to traditional tricolors, retaining their dark coats or sometimes will lighten to more of a silver for their base coat.
We are adding new studs to produce more phantom/phantom abstract puppies, including King and some upcoming studs and outside studs as well. We sometimes have phantom bernedoodles in our F1B crosses, as well.

SABLE TRICOLOR
BERNEDOODLE PUPPIES
Sable tricolor (also referred to as sable and white) bernedoodles are a unique twist to your traditional tricolor puppies. Sable puppies start out with a very dark brown where the black pigment is on traditional tricolor. They still have similar lighter brown markings on their face and legs and express white on their face, paws, tail and chest. These puppies will lighten dramatically as they age as the dark brown pigment grows out and is cut off with consecutive grooming. Typically your lighter, straighter pups will end up varying shades of creams/whites whereas your darker, more wavy pups will mature to a light brown, almost gray and very curly coat. Depending on how and when they are groomed, the transformation can be quite dramatic! I read once that going to the groomer was like getting to bring a new puppy home each time they went!!
