Introduction to the Bernedoodle
Bernedoodle is a hybrid breed of dog which is produced by a cross between the Poodle and the Bernese Mountain Dog. This breed was created by Canadian breeder Sherry Rupke in 2003 to be a cross between the attitude of Bernese dogs as easy going and non-aggressive, and the traits of the Poodle as a smart and low-shedding breed.
