WHAT IS AN F1B AND F1 BERNEDOODLE?
A First Generation (F1) Bernedoodle is the combination of a Bernese mountain dog and a Poodle. These puppies will have 50% Bernese mountain dog DNA, and 50% Poodle DNA. The F1B Bernedoodle is a combination of an F1 Bernedoodles and a Poodle, giving the dog 75% poodle DNA (and therefore, less likely to shed!)
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BERNEDOODLE AND A SHEEPADOODLE?
Many people fall in love with Doodles, without realizing that there are different breeds. In fact, you may be wondering why to choose a Bernedoodle over a Sheepadoodle, or vice-versa. We understand this is a big decision, and both breeds can make wonderful pets.
​
Bernedoodles tend to mirror the energy of their owners. They are strong canines with lots of determination and a strong and loyal bond to their owners. They are known for being calm and gentle, and are easily trainable. Now, don't get us wrong, we have had Bernedoodles that are higher energy too, this is just an overall summary. Separately, the Bernese Mountain dog tends to be more calm and the Poodle tends to more energy and wicked intelligent. We have found that Bernedoodles can be both, depending on the energy of their family. They are social, but what's most important, is their people, and being with them.
Sheepadoodles are extremely silly and playful. They are very social and love to know what's going on around them. Sometimes I laugh and say they have FOMO (fear of missing out). LOL. They are ready to "up and go" at a moments notice and love to be where you are. Even though they have a bit more energy, they are just as sweet and always doing goofy things to make you smile!
If you are looking for a bit more laid-back, lovable companion, a Bernedoodles will be a great fit. If you are looking for an adventurous, affectionate, playful dog, you may want a Sheepadoodle.
​
Neither breed is ‘better’ than the other, it just depends on your needs! And always remember that this is a summary of most of their temperaments. What you put into your dog, is so much of what you will see. Being a responsible puppy owner and working with them daily will set you up for success. We are always here to help you along the way with Dog trainers, online training, tips and tricks and ton of other resources to guide you and your puppy.
