FAQs
A Bernedoodle is a cross between a Bernese Mountain Dog and a Poodle. Bernedoodles are affectionate, loyal, and usually a little calmer than Goldendoodles, and many have the classic black, white, and rust tri-color coat. Like Goldendoodles, they shed less than their non-Poodle parent. See our Breed Info page to compare the two.

We require a $300 nonrefundable deposit (transferable once to a future litter at the breeder’s discretion) to hold your spot in our selection process.

F1 Goldendoodle = Golden Retriever x Poodle
F1b Goldendoodle = F1 Goldendoodle x Poodle
F1bb Goldendoodle = F1b Goldendoodle x Poodle
F1 Bernedoodle = Bernese Mountain Dog x Poodle
F1b Bernedoodle = F1 Bernedoodle x Poodle
The more Poodle in a generation, the less the dog tends to shed. An F1 can be fine for mild allergies, but we recommend an F1b or higher for families with allergies, and an F1bb Goldendoodle for severe allergies. See our Difference in Generations page for the full breakdown.
Here at Strong Oaks we have years of experience matching the right puppy with the right family. We run temperament testing on the puppies at seven weeks of age. Once all of the tests are complete we will recommend a puppy that we believe best suits your family. The more specific the information you give on your application and when talking to us, the more successful we will be in getting you the right puppy. Things like lifestyle, age of children, work schedules and other pets in the home all play a large role in finding the perfect puppy. Of course, our recommendation is just that, you are free to select from any of the available puppies.
First, fill out our Adoption Application or give us a call. We review your answers on the application and contact you by phone or email. After deciding that a Strong Oaks puppy is a good choice for your home, you may put a $300 nonrefundable (but transferable) deposit on a puppy. At seven weeks, once temperament testing has been completed puppy buyers choose their puppy based on order of deposit received. We help you make the choice by informing you of each puppy’s temperament.
