​Our F2b Mini Bernedoodles are 37.5% Bernese Mountain Dog and 63.5% Miniature Poodle.  The mother is an F1 Mini Bernedoodle, the father is an F1b Mini Bernedoodle.  They are commonly known as "Teddy Bear Bernedoodles".  Their size will typically range from 30 - 35 lbs.

F1b Tiny Bernedoodles
Our F1b Tiny Bernedoodles are a cross between an F1 Mini Bernedoodle and a Toy Poodle. Their size will typically range from 10 - 25 lbs.

Multi-Gen Mini Bernedoodles

Our Multi-Gen Bernedoodles are third-generation Bernedoodles.  Typically the mother is an F1b Mini Bernedoodle and the father is an F1b Mini Bernedoodle.  In this case they would  be 25% Bernese Mountain Dog and 75% Miniature Poodle.  They are commonly known as "Teddy Bear Bernedoodles".  Their size will typically range from 25 - 35 lbs.

Teddy Bear Bernedoodles
The affectionately-named Teddy Bear Bernedoodle is a cross between two Bernedoodles.  F2b Mini Bernedoodles or Multi-Gen Mini Bernedoodles are sometimes called Teddy Bear Bernedoodles.  Their size will typically range from 25 - 35 lbs.

Coat
The Bernedoodle's coat is a cross between a Bernese Mountain Dog's coat and a Poodle's coat.  The Bernedoodle's hair should not be clipped shorter than 2 inches to keep protection from the heat and cold.  Clipping their coat every 8 - 12 weeks and brushing regularly helps keeps your mini bernedoodle looking amazing!  Their coats can vary from a straighter wave to a curlier coat.
A variety of colors can be evident in the same litter.  Colors can be: pure black, black and white, black and brown, tri-color (black, white, brown). Our first litter was all tri-colored, which is something breeders strive for.  

Personality
Our Bernedoodles are very fun, friendly, and playful.  They are very social dogs which helps make them the perfect companion.  They are gentle around children and the elderly, excellent therapy dogs.  They do need to be taught right from wrong and consistency is key in helping train your new companion.
