About
The Bernedoodle is a designer hybrid dog created by crossing the Bernese Mountain Dog with a Poodle. This breed combines the intelligence and low-shedding coat of the Poodle with the calm and affectionate temperament of the Bernese.
Bernedoodles are known for being friendly, loyal, and great with families and children. They are highly trainable and adaptable but require regular grooming due to their curly or wavy coat. Their energy levels can vary depending on the Poodle lineage but are generally moderate to high.
They come in different sizes (standard, mini, toy), but the standard Bernedoodle is the most common. These dogs thrive in homes where they receive attention, training, and regular activity.
The Bernedoodle dog price in India typically ranges between ₹60,000 to ₹150,000 depending on breeder quality, lineage, and location. Monthly maintenance costs range from ₹6,000 to ₹12,000 including food and healthcare.

Fun Facts

- The Bernedoodle breed was intentionally created in 2003 by Sherry Rupke of Swissridge Kennels, who wanted to create a healthier, longer-lived, and shedding-low alternative to the Bernese Mountain Dog while keeping its loyal temperament.
