​

4. Do Bernedoodles Shed?

Answer: Bernedoodles can shed, but depending on whether the poodle or Bernese mountain dog trait is the strongest, they might not shed a lot. The curlier your bernedoodle’s fur is, the less likely they are to shed and the more brushing and grooming they will require. Bernedoodles with straighter, longer fur will require less brushing, but they are also more prone to shedding fur throughout the day.

5. Do you Need to Groom a Bernedoodle?

Answer: You will need to groom your bernedoodle through regular brushings, especially if they have very curly fur that is prone to becoming tangled. Brush your dog several times a week and take them to a groomer several times a year (every three to four months is recommended) for a full bath, help with deshedding, and to trim up any fur that may be making them uncomfortable or getting in their eyes.

6. Are Bernedoodles Good Service Dogs?

Answer: Due to their eager-to-please nature, high intelligence, and loving attitude, the bernedoodle does make for a good service dog. The standard size of this breed can be trained as a guide dog or mobility assistance dog, and all sizes of bernedoodle can help out as medical alert or psychiatric service dogs.
