TRAINING FAQ
Are Bernedoodles hypoallergenic?
Good
Bernedoodles are considered fairly allergy-friendly thanks to their Poodle-derived curly or wavy coat, which sheds much less dander than a typical double coat. No dog is fully hypoallergenic, and coat type (and shedding) varies depending on which parent a given Bernedoodle takes after.
Do Bernedoodles shed a lot?
Low
Bernedoodles are low to moderate shedders, with shedding levels depending on coat type -- curlier coats shed the least, straighter coats shed more. Regular brushing helps catch loose hair before it ends up on furniture or clothing.
How often should you groom your Bernedoodle?
Frequent
To maintain a Bernedoodle's coat, daily brushing is essential for curly coats, while wavy coats can be brushed every other day. They also require professional grooming every 6 to 8 weeks for haircuts.
