Meet the adorable Bernedoodle puppy: a designer dog breed that’s the wonderful cross between a Bernese Mountain Dog and a Poodle.
While Bernedoodles have only been around since the early 2000s, they have quickly become a popular choice for many families—and for good reason! Combining the intelligent, sensitive poodle and the calm, friendly Bernese Mountain Dog creates a smart, loyal, and playful companion for homes of all types. Anyone seeking out a Bernedoodle puppy can look forward to one of the finest designer dogs ever bred.

Bernese Mountain Dogs nearly went extinct in the late 1800s. In an effort to bring them back, inbreeding caused various health issues, including a relatively short lifespan (6–8 years). Crossing the Bernese with a poodle passes down the Bernese’s amazing social qualities while increasing their lifespan to 14–17 years! If you like the loyal, easy-going nature of the Bernese, but want something with even more intelligence, minimal to no shedding (making them moderately hypoallergenic), and better health and longevity, look no further. You have found it in the Bernedoodle!
Our bernedoodles tend to be well balanced dogs. They are usually extremely smart with a friendly, sociable, and playful disposition that is a good fit for owners of any experience level.
First-time owners may want to consider obedience classes. Bernedoodles tend to be very trainable. Training provides a wonderful bonding experience with your dog. Get started while they’re young and your pup will enjoy your family, friends, and other pets for a lifetime.
For those that choose to personally train their dog, we recommend an online training program that we've found to be very helpful. Read more on that here.
At Walnut Valley, we breed the following varieties of Bernedoodles—each with its own unique advantages. You’re sure to find the perfect fit for your home!
F1 Standard Bernedoodles are a cross between the Bernese Mountain Dog and a standard poodle. Usually stands 23–29 inches at the shoulder and weighs anywhere from 70–100 pounds. Females are typically smaller than males.
F1 Mini Bernedoodles are a cross between the Bernese Mountain Dog and a miniature poodle. Usually stands 17–22 inches at the shoulder and weighs between 30–60 pounds (most weigh 35–45 pounds). Females are typically smaller than males.
F1B Micro Bernedoodles are a cross between the F1 Miniature Bernedoodle and a miniature poodle. Usually stands 12-18 inches at the shoulder and weighs between 10-25 pounds. F1B puppies tend to be more hypoallergenic Bernedoodles and usually shed less than F1 puppies due to being 75% poodle.
We are often asked if there are differences between male and female Bernedoodle personalities. While there may be slight differences, they are actually quite subtle. Both males and females make absolutely amazing pets, and in most cases it is a matter of preference.
What truly matters is choosing a puppy with a temperament that matches your home—something that can vary more between puppies of the same litter than any noticeable difference in sex.
Because of this, we take the time to get to know you and your puppy before bringing them home—so you’re sure to find the perfect match!
Coat colors are generally a combination of both of the parents' breeds. At Walnut Valley Puppies, we specialize in maintaining the beautiful tri-color marking of the Bernese Mountain Dog while adding the hypoallergenic properties of the poodle.
Here’s a bit about our bernedoodles:
Curly Bernedoodle coat types shed the least and are the most hypoallergenic of the three types. The curls on this coat are usually tight with a soft texture, much like what you would see on a Poodle. While they lose a minimal amount of hair, they do need to be brushed and groomed regularly. The curly coat is the best choice for owners with an allergy to dog dander.
The wavy Bernedoodle coat type—one that’s free-flowing and with a slightly kinked or wavy look—is also low- to non-shedding. This is the coat most seen on Bernedoodles. Owners with allergies to dog dander will usually be fine with a wavy-coated dog. If you’re uncertain about the severity of your allergies, try to find doodles in your area to interact with. You can also get further allergy testing from a medical professional.
Of the three Bernedoodle coat types, a straight-haired Bernedoodle coat tends to shed the most and be the least hypoallergenic. Even though this coat is called “straight” or flat, it may actually have a slight wave to it. This coat type is uncommon and most Bernedoodles are born with curly or wavy coats.
Many families adopt Bernedoodles because of their low- to no-shed hypoallergenic coats. While this is a huge advantage—especially for those allergic to dog dander—it should be noted that wavy and curly coats require regular grooming to maintain the health and comfort of your dog.
Curlier coats are prone to matting, tangles, and knots. When left ungroomed, these can lead to tight, sore skin for your pet. To keep your puppy happy, you’ll need to groom their coat (or make trips to the groomer) at recommended intervals of every 4-8 weeks. This keeps their coats shorter, more comfortable, and lower maintenance (longer, curlier coats require frequent brushing).
Additionally, grooming habits greatly affect the appearance of your Bernedoodle. Consider this when looking at pictures of prospective puppy choices. Here are several examples of how different the same dog can look before and after grooming!
Here are just a few more reasons to love Bernedoodles:
Due to their well-balanced temperament and high trainability, our Bernedoodles are often trained as therapy dogs—a job that allows them to thrive alongside humans while showing their cuddly and affectionate side!
Most Bernedoodles adapt well to apartment living, with a few caveats. Their Bernese lineage means they want plenty of attention and exercise to stay happy and healthy. They also love human interaction and don’t like to be left for extended periods of time (although they are fine with shorter breaks in attention).
Bernedoodles are true companion dogs. They are very intelligent and are often described as having a happy-go-lucky, goofy, and charming temperament. They are happiest when spending time with their families and enjoy playtime, affection, and cuddles in equal measure. These dogs are excellent around children and the elderly. They simply wants to love and be loved in return, which makes them a fantastic companion for single owners and for families.
These families are loving their new best friend. Let’s find the perfect match for your home.
15/10 best experience ever!! I researched breeders all over the US and even Canada when looking to add a Bernedoodle to our family. I chose to join the waitlist at Walnut Valley because of their genetic testing, health guarantee, professionalism, transparency, genuine care for their animals, incredible customer service and ability to deliver the puppies at a reasonable cost. The estimate was a 2 year wait when I joined the waitlist, but I only waited 1 year for a puppy and I was extremely picky and passed on several litters. Jason is a rockstar and kept me updated and answered all of my questions the entire year I waited for a puppy. When it was finally time to choose he was very honest and helpful and made the process of selecting, purchasing, and preparing so smooth and easy. When she finally came home I couldn’t believe she was real. She is the most incredible dog I have ever seen. Pictures and videos do not even come close to how beautiful, sweet, and intelligent these puppies are. The day she came home it was extremely clear how much care goes into raising these puppies with excellent temperaments and great socialization. Our puppy came to us already loving kids!!! I couldn’t believe it! She was a part of our family from the moment we first met. She was kissing and enjoying my children from the moment she met them. She had no fear or apprehension about being around children and our vet commented that she seems very well adjusted. She learned to sit on command within days of coming to us. It’s been less than two weeks and she can come and lay down on command and is doing great with potty training. Jason continues to check in on us and it honestly feels like sending updates to a friend. I can’t say enough good things about this breeder. Walnut Valley feels like family. The puppies are worth every penny!
Javin and the whole team at Walnut Valley were absolutely phenomenal! I did a lot of research into Bernedoodle breeders, and what made us choose them were all of their positive reviews, the puppy/adult comparisons on their website, and the fact that the puppies are family raised. I also loved that they have a Facebook community and that the owners even have annual meetups. It really made it feel like a family, and it was clear how much everyone adored the breeder and their dogs.Our puppy experience was nothing short of 5-star fantastic. We were on the waitlist for 2 years because I was very picky, and honestly, I believe Javin matched me with the perfect pup. When our litter was born, I initially chose a different puppy from the photos, but Javin helped guide me and suggested that our now pup (Lady) had the calmer personality and coloring I was looking for. He was absolutely right.Ruby flew her to us and was also so kind and wonderful.I cannot recommend Walnut Valley enough. Our puppy is literally perfect. Calm, yet friendly, loves to play, loves family and kids, and was potty trained in just two days. Thank you for bringing this little bundle of joy into our lives. We are so, so grateful! Walnut Valley is the BEST!!!!
We are so thankful for Walnut Valley and the experience we had! Javin and Ruby went above and beyond for us and made purchasing a puppy from across the country seamless. We could not be happier with our new addition- he has already brought so much joy to our family. I cannot recommend Walnut Valley Puppies enough!
Working with Walnut Valley has been the best experience. I have had my sweet Clark for just about a week now and he is a playful, smart and snuggly little guy. I am so happy to have worked with Jason and team in this process. From the time I was put on the waitlist to bringing my little guy home, Jason has followed up, answered all my questions and been a delight to work with! I would highly recommend for anyone looking into adopting!
I had a great experience with Walnut Valley Puppies when buying my very first puppy. They were very responsive and it is easy to tell they care greatly about the well-being of their dogs and puppies. I strongly recommend them for anyone interested in a bernedoodle!!
We have had an all-around outstanding experience with Walnut Valley Puppies. So much so that after only a week after bringing our new puppy home we chose to go back on the waitlist for a second one. Every step of the process from navigating the website and getting on the waitlist to picking up our puppy and getting her home was smooth and professional. There were no surprises, loose strings, or hidden costs. Expectations regarding the waitlist time were realistic and response times are incredibly quick, respectful and friendly.WVP is clearly a reputable breeder with the health and wellness of their puppies and parents in mind. We only had one point of contact (Jason Yoder) throughout the entire adoption process which was nice because it took the chance for confusion or miscommunication out of the process. He checked-in (and still checks in) regularly and always responded within the same day (typically within minutes). Not only did Jason answer all of our questions but he also helped us decide on the puppy that was going to best suit our family’s needs and lifestyle. We especially appreciated all of the photos, videos and the personality ranking system they use. Extra effort was also taken to help us navigate through the “preparing for puppy” prep work (puppy proofing the house and yard, setting up vet appointments and training, ordering food and supplies, etc.) in order to ensure a smooth transition when we brought “Harriet” home. We received a generous swag bag full of goodies and necessities (the blanket with her mom and littermates’ scent has been incredibly valuable) to help with the transition as well.Once we got Harriet home, it was obvious that WVP put in a bunch of work getting her socialized and weaned prior to the 8-week mark when we picked her up. She has been easy to crate train (we are going into week 3 and she has not had one accident in her crate - she’s even sleeping through most of the night!). Our new puppy is sweet and playful with our young daughters as well as any other person who will give her attention. We’ve had complete strangers come up to us to say how adorable and well-tempered she is and ask where we got her. Our Harriet is an adorable tiny F1B bernedoodle with a well-balanced temperament of curiosity and calm and she’s so smart with the training.If you’re looking for a bernedoodle, Walnut Valley Puppies is the place!
We have had the most amazing experience working with Walnut Valley Puppies! They have been so responsive and helpful from day one. It is so easy to tell they care greatly about the well-being of their dogs and puppies. We are so happy with our new puppy Riggs!!! We would highly recommend anyone looking for a bernedoodle to look here. You will not be disappointed!
We had an exceptional experience with Walnut Valley Puppies. We did extensive research prior to selecting WVP's and the results were well worth it. Jason was great to work with from the time we put in our deposit to the time we took home our puppy and he is still in contact today checking in on how Marley (Formerly Melody) is doing. I was fortunate enough to meet Jason as he hand delivered our puppy by flying to our selected airport and was so caring through it all. He kept us informed on where we were at in the draft order and we appreciated all the photos and videos we received before selecting our puppy and even after. I would definitely recommend Walnut Valley Puppies to anybody. We were fortunate enough to get the exact puppy characteristics we wanted and we love her so much. We hit the jackpot with Marley. We are so pleased and grateful for the professionalism WVP's and Jason provided through the whole process. Thank you from the Briggs family.
We spent a lot of time researching and trying to find the right breeder, and we couldn’t be more pleased with our experience with Walnut Valley Puppies! We joined the waitlist for the standard bernedoodles and from the start, Jason and the Walnut Valley team were very trustworthy, communicative and responsive. They explained the whole process and were available to answer any questions we had. They are very friendly and professional and it’s obvious how much they care for their pups throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Walnut Valley and would definitely use them again in the future.
I was extremely happy with Jason and Walnut Valley Puppies; professional, clear and precise communication. They truly care about their pups' well-being. If you want the best bernedoodle breeder then don’t think twice and just go for it. I would forever be indebted to them for giving us our f1 male standard bernedoodle Scooby. Thank you so much.
We had a wonderful experience with Jason and Walnut Valley from the moment we met and began the adoption to meeting our puppy for the first time. Couldn’t have asked for a better breeder. We’re so happy with our super fast adjusting Bailey (Aka Ruby).Thank you Jason and the Walnut Valley team.
It’s been one year and, bc of Walnut Valley Puppies, I have a happy, playful, fun loving pup that brings so much joy and brightness to our home. Tina was great to work with from the very beginning, making sure Yeti and I were a good match for each other and answering all my questions (and I had a lot, including how to research to make sure they were legit since I’m in another state and couldn’t just stop by). She made the process easy and I appreciated her organizing the flight when she did, that was a very busy time for me. She also gave me as many photos and videos I could ask for since I had to wait just a bit to be available to pick him up. Ruby was great at the airport giving me everything we needed and kindly taking pictures of our first moments together. Yeti did come to me with a parasite (and the more I learned, the more I understood that, though it was unfortunate, with a brand new puppy it can be par for the course) however, WVP held up their promise and paid for the follow up vet visits and panels that related to that issue and I appreciate them sticking to everything they promise. They’re a great breeder and I am so grateful to have Yeti bc of them!
We had an amazing experience with Walnut Valley Puppies. Javin went above and beyond to answer questions and work with us coordinating a date to get our puppy. You can tell he loves these dogs and takes great care of them! Everything was transparent and easy. He also spends a lot of time videoing the puppies and will FaceTime you when it’s time to pick them out. We can’t recommend this place enough. We love our doodle!
This breeder is extraordinary and brought us our dream dog. Not only are they extremely communicative, honest, and thorough, they are so kind. We reached out looking for a male dog, and while they said they said we could get one within a year, they had a female ready immediately. They patiently waited for a couple days while we deliberated, always staying in contact, and we eventually went home with a perfect girl. There is a sweet and gentle nature to Walnut Valley Puppies and I would highly recommend them if considering a Bernedoodle. We are in love with our pup!
Walnut Valley absolutely knocked us out of the park. Jason and his family are some of the sweetest, most organized, passionate and accommodating people you will ever meet. We are absolutely in love with our mini bernedoodle Enzo and would highly recommend Walnut! Stellar experience from start to finish!
We were extremely selective when choosing breeders for our bernedoodle. After researching multiple breeders, we decided that Walnut Valley was an excellent choice. We purchased our bernedoodle F1b a year ago. We could not be happier! Her temperament was exactly as described. She is a lovable dog and extremely affectionate. They are great for small children. She is a beautiful Tri Sable F1b. If we ever decide to get another, Walnut Valley will most definitely be our choice!

An F1B Micro Bernedoodle is a second-generation cross between an F1 Mini Bernedoodle and a Toy Poodle.
This means you get a puppy that's 25% Bernese for a sweet, gentle nature and 75% Poodle for intelligence and that desirable low-shedding coat. Being 75% Poodle, the F1B Micro Bernedoodle are the most hypoallergenic bernedoodle of our varieties.
F1B Micro Bernedoodles typically mature to an adorable size of 10-25 lbs. and have a long lifespan of 15-18 years, making them perfect for families seeking a smaller breed.
F1B Micro Bernedoodles lifespan is typically between 14 and 18 years.
Due to the inbreeding that took place to bring the Bernese Mountain Dog back into population from the brink of extinction, Bernese Mountain Dogs are vulnerable to several genetic disorders and often have short lifespans. Due to the long lifespan of the miniature poodle genetics, F1B Micro and F1B Mini Bernedoodles have a lifespan of 14-18 years.
Of course, other factors such as genetics, diet, and overall care influence the life expectancy of a Bernedoodle.
At Walnut Valley Puppies, all of our parent dogs are health-tested prior to breeding, enabling us to guarantee the genetic health of our puppies with our 5-Year Genetic Health Guarantee!
To learn more about how we test our dogs and about our 5-Year Genetic Health Guarantee, check our Health Guarantee page!
An F1B Tiny Bernedoodle is the result of breeding an F1 Mini Bernedoodle to a Miniature Poodle. F1B Tiny Bernedoodles usually stand between 12 and 17 inches tall and weigh between 15 and 25 pounds. Again, these puppies tend to be more hypoallergenic and usually less shedding than the F1 Bernedoodles.
Yes, F1B Micro Bernedoodles are considered a hypoallergenic breed. However, there is no such thing as a fully hypoallergenic dog, as people can also be allergic to dog saliva or urine, etc. For those with mild to medium pet allergies, F1B Micro Bernedoodles make a wonderful addition to the family, as they are usually low shed to no shed.
For a person with severe allergies, we want to ensure that the puppy you take home has as curly a coat as possible. F1B Bernedoodles usually have the most curly coats, they usually are compatible for those with more severe allergy problems. If you have concerns, we suggest that you get further allergy testing done as well as take some time to interact with doodles and their humans in your area before purchasing a puppy.
