ABOUT THE AUSTRALIAN BERNEDOODLE BREED

WHAT IS AN AUSTRALIAN BERNEDOODLE?

An Australian Bernedoodle is a unique cross combining the Bernedoodle (the cross between a Bernese and a Poodle) and Australian Labradoodle (the cross between a Lab, Poodle, and Spaniel). You can learn about these individual breeds on our “What is a Bernedoodle” and “What is an Australian Labradoodle” pages.

It is important to note that there is NO Australian Shepherd (Aussie) in this mix.

ARE THEY EASY TO TRAIN?

Much like their parent breeds, it is important to keep in mind that Australian Bernedoodles require firm yet gentle training. They are intelligent and eager to please. Basic training should begin as soon as you bring your Australian Bernedoodle puppy home. Just remember that patience and consistency will be key!

HOW MUCH EXERCISE DOES AN AUSTRALIAN BERNEDOODLE NEED?

Australian Bernedoodles are known to have a low to moderate energy level, but they are an intelligent breed that still requires mental simulation and physical exercise in order to keep them happy and healthy! Most are happy with 30-40 minutes of exercise, but if you’re more active then that they will still happily tag along!

It is important to remember that not all Australian Bernedoodles are the same and some may enjoy more or less exercise to keep them happy and healthy!

WHAT IS THE AUSTRALIAN BERNEDOODLE TEMPERAMENT LIKE?

When carefully bred, they display the most desirable traits from each breed. Australian Bernedoodles are highly intelligent, gentle, and tend to be on the mellow side. Don’t let that fool you though! They are also known to be a silly, playful breed that thrives with attention which means they are not suitable for someone who is rarely home.

WHY CHOOSE AN AUSTRALIAN BERNEDOODLE?

Do you love both the Australian Labradoodle AND the Bernedoodle? If so, then an Australian Bernedoodle may be the breed for you! Their smart yet goofy personalities mixed with their sweet, loving dispositions make them great family pets! While we do see stubbornness in some Bernedoodles, we typically do not see any in the Australian Bernedoodles. They are known to be a friendly breed that loves to be around people and their eager to please attitude makes them suitable for first time dog owners. Australian Bernedoodles come in several different sizes and many will do well in most living situations, including apartments as long as they get exercise each day.

WHAT ARE THERE GENERATIONS?

Any generation of Bernedoodle paired with an Australian Labradoodle is considered an “Australian Bernedoodle”. You may also see them called multigen Australian Bernedoodles.

DO AUSTRALIAN BERNEDOODLES SHED?

As with any doodle breed, this will vary greatly based on the parents. However, Australian Bernedoodles are typically very low to non-shedding. When the parents are carefully selected and paired together, the higher the Bernedoodle generations (F1b, F2, multigen) bred to a true multigen Australian Labradoodle are generally non-shedding.

HOW MUCH DO AUSTRALIAN BERNEDOODLES COST?

Our Australian Bernedoodles range from $2,000-$3,500.
