Meet the parents!
Adoradoodle Ygritte Beautiful Ygritte (40 pounds) is another dog much loved by her family. She has an excellent temperament! She has a wavy coat and is not shedding.
Adoradoodle WalterWalter is a gentle, calm and friendly chocolate phantom boy. He weighs about 25 pounds.

Adoradoodle MurphyMurphy is a medium multi-generation Bernedoodle. He is genetically straight haired and just beautiful!
Adoradoodle StanleyStanley's family adores him! His 2022 puppies were amazing and we are looking forward to more great puppies from him this year. Stanley weighs about 35 pounds. He is an F1 mini Bernedoodle. Many of his puppies are built solidly, like a Bernese, with a smaller stature.

Bernedoodles combine the intelligence of a poodle with the loyal, companionable nature of the Berner. They are friendly, affectionate, intelligent dogs who make great family pets although they need active socialization at an early age.
First generation Bernedoodles are usually black, black & white, black & tan or tri-color (black, tan, white) in color. Second generation Bernedoodles can come in virtually any color, depending on the genetics of the parents. The first generation dogs have various degrees of wave or light curl in their coat and while most are non-shedding, there are still some that shed somewhat or are seasonal shedders.
Second generation (F1b crosses) may be curlier and may have a lower chance of shedding; this is very much dependent on the genotype of the puppy. It is easier to reduce the size of the puppies (to micro's or smaller mini's) in the 2nd generation cross.
Multi Generation Bernedoodles (usually F1b x F1 or F1b x F1b) allow us to maintain more of the Bernese marking and type while reducing the size of the puppy and improving the coat. As a result of careful selection of the parents, some of our multi-gens have a genetically straight coat while retaining the low/non-shedding qualities and these puppies are closest to the BMD look and just beautiful.
Australian Labradoodle crosses (Australian Bernedoodles): We find that outcrossing a Bernedoodle with an Australian Labradoodle produces a dog with a more attractive face and less of the "poodleness" that tends to appear in 2nd and 3rd generation crosses. They are smart dogs with lovely temperaments!
Bernedoodle Colors:
When people think of a Bernedoodle, they tend to picture the standard black-tri color mix found in the Bernese Mountain dog : Jet black, with tan/reddish brown markings on the face and legs, white blaze, tail tip and chest marking (cross). Bernedoodles however, can come in a wide variety of colors and markings - it all depends on the genes they carry (and the variety is much greater in 2nd generation+ mixes).
Black phantom: Black with the tan or reddish brown markings usually on the face, chest and legs.
Chocolate phantom: Reddish brown with tan markings on the face, chest and legs. In order to be chocolate, the puppy must inherit a chocolate gene (b) from each parent. Two copies of "b" will override the black phantom coloring but not red/gold.
What is phantom?: Phantom coloring refers to the gold/tan markings on a Bernedoodles face and chest. In order to produce the phantom color (and this is true of chocolate or black), the puppy must also carry the genes "at/at" (or at/a) on the "a" locus, and "ky/ky" on the "k" locus. If the puppy carries "at/ay" at the "a" locus, they will be a sable phantom and their color will lighten.
Tri Color: while both the chocolate and the black phantom can carry the Bernese style white markings - on the black phantoms the puppy's color is then usually referred to as "tri color". The true tri-color can be difficult to produce in Bernedoodles because of the complexity of the white marking's genes. The gene that carries the specific white markings found on a Bernese has yet be identified (although any puppy with a Bernese parent will carry on copy of the gene). The standard white markings gene found on poodles and other breeds (Sp) can be tested for, however this gene alone will not reproduce Bernese-style markings. One copy of Sp tends to produce a puppy with little white if the dog's base coat is black or brown (like the black/tan Bernedoodles), however if the puppy carries one copy of Sp and one copy of he unidentified Bernese white markings gene, they will usually have the white face. Two copes of Sp (one from each parent) produces a parti color puppy. White markings on a chocolate phantom tend to be less symmetrical than on the blacks.
Parti color: White markings which extend over the dog's body (the amount of white can vary tremendously) (genes: Sp/Sp)
Red: Red and gold Bernedoodles both belong to the "red" color family, it is just the intensity of the color that can vary. We generally refer to them all as "red". In order to have a red coat, the puppy must receive the red color gene "e" from both of it's parents. If the puppy gets two copies of the gene, this color will override any other color genes that are present (i.e. phantom, chocolate) and the puppy will be red (gold). We find that red/gold Bernedoodles are more likely to have white markings. E locus genes: e/e
Fading/graying: Unfortunately, introducing poodles to the Bernese Mountain Dog has also led to the introduction of the graying/fading genes. Some Bernedoodles will fade/and or go gray as a result of genes carried by poodles. Unfortunately, these genes have not yet been identified so breeders are unable to test for their presence.

Bernedoodle Coat types and shedding
It is a common misnomer that puppies with a curly coat are non-shedding while straighter coated puppies require the purchase of a high powered vacuum. The coat genetics that contribute to shedding are complex and not completely understood, however we will attempt to explain them below:
Why do dogs shed?
One suggestion is that animals exposed to significant amounts of artificial light (indoor dogs) may shed all year round. Consistent light simulates daylight, which interrupts the normal photoperiod that an animal living outside would otherwise experience.
The genes which come into play when considering shedding are as follows:
The furnishings gene "RSPO2": The furnishings/wiry coat gene (aka as improper coat) provides the Bernedoodle with its fluffy beard and eyebrows as a result of a DNA variant in RSPO2. This gene is thought to have the greatest effect on shedding but there are a number of inconsistencies with this hypothesis. Most doodles who carry one copy of the furnishings gene will not shed, but occasionally, for unknown reasons, one does. A F1 (first generation) Bernedoodle will carry only one copy of the gene - it comes from the poodle; Berners are unfurnished.
There is also a recently discovered variation of the furnishings gene called "weak" furnishing. This variation results in the late growth of furnishings in a puppy who does not carry a copy of the standard furnishings gene. It is not yet known how this variation effects shedding.
It is possible (and many people suggest) that a puppy that carries two copies of the RSPO2 variant for furnishings will be less likely to shed but this has not been proven in clinical studies.
We will have some unfurnished puppies - some people prefer this look as the dog's face tends to look more like that of a Bernese!
The curly coat gene KRT17: The KRT17 gene plays a role in the correct growth of the hair follicle and a mutant variant of KRT17 changes the shape of the hair shaft and causes a wavy or curly coat. Because the hair curl gene is (incomplete) dominant, a dog only needs to have single copy of either curl variant to express that phenotype. however because the dominance is incomplete, the degree of curl varies. An F1 (first generation) Bernedoodle will carry only one copy of the mutant gene - it comes from the poodle; Berners have straight coats and therefore to not carry the KRT17 mutation. It is not thought to affect shedding.
The shedding gene MC5R: A DNA variant in the gene MC5R is associated with a higher degree of shedding on dogs that do not carry the RSPO2 (furnishings) gene. It is thought that it might have a partial effect on dogs that only carry one copy of RSPO2 but studies are limited (and most doodles with one copy of RSPO2 do not shed anyway). This mutation gene seems to randomly appear and is not specifically associate to the poodle or Berner.
The gene associated with a long coat also contributes to shedding but we will not discuss it here since all of our doodles have long coats.
All this to say there are still a lot of unknowns in the field of genetics and shedding. Dogs with seemingly identical genotypes (in respect to the genes above) can shed to different degrees. Not all genes and the interplay between them is known and/or understood. We see many exceptions to the rules (i.e. unfurnished dogs that don't shed, straight coated dogs with two furnishings genes that do shed (albeit just a bit)).
