by George Bernard (Author) The Bernedoodle, sometimes referred to as the Bernese Mountain Poo, is a cross between the highly intelligent Poodle breed and the hardworking and loyal Bernese Mountain Dog. This combination typically leads to a bright dog who is likely to shed less than his Bernese Mountain dog parent and more laid-back than his Poodle parent. While fairly uniform in temperament and color, these hybrid dogs may have widely varying sizes and coat types.When bred by a reputable breeder, Bernedoodles are typically calm, intelligent, and affectionate animals. Unfortunately, poor breeding can sometimes result in a skittish or neurotic individual instead.
