One of the most exciting things about Bernedoodles is that they come in different sizes, which allows families to choose the perfect fit for their home and lifestyle.
But we know it can also feel confusing at first.
Families often ask us:
What size Bernedoodle should I choose?
What is the difference between Mini and Standard?
Which size is best for families in Australia?
We’d love to help explain everything clearly.
Because no matter the size, every Bernedoodle carries the same beautiful, loving temperament that makes this breed so special.
What Determines a Bernedoodle’s Size?
A Bernedoodle’s size depends on the size of the parent dogs, particularly the Poodle parent.
By pairing Bernese Mountain Dogs with different sizes of Poodles, breeders can produce different sized Bernedoodles.
This allows families to choose a size that best suits their lifestyle.
Tiny Bernedoodle
Approximate weight: 5–10kg
Approximate height: 30–40cm
Tiny Bernedoodles are the smallest and are still relatively rare in Australia.
They are ideal for families who:
• Want a smaller companion
• Have smaller homes
• Prefer a lighter dog
Despite their smaller size, they still have the same affectionate and loyal Bernedoodle personality.
Mini Bernedoodle
Approximate weight: 10–15kg
Approximate height: 40–50cm
Mini Bernedoodles are one of the most popular sizes.
They are large enough to enjoy outdoor adventures, but small enough to be very manageable.
They are ideal for:
Family homes
Suburban living
Families wanting a medium-small dog
Mini Bernedoodles are playful, loving, and incredibly devoted.
Medium Bernedoodle
Approximate weight: 15–25kg
Approximate height: 45–55cm
Medium Bernedoodles offer a beautiful balance between Mini and Standard.
They are:
Strong
Balanced
Highly adaptable
They suit families who want a slightly larger dog but still manageable in size.
This size is becoming increasingly popular with Australian families.
Standard Bernedoodle
Approximate weight: 25–40kg
Approximate height: 55–70cm
Standard Bernedoodles are the largest and closest in size to the Bernese Mountain Dog.
They are truly breathtaking dogs.
They are ideal for:
Families with space
Properties
Active families
Despite their size, they are incredibly gentle and loving.
Many people describe them as gentle giants.
Does Size Affect Temperament?
This is something families often wonder.
The beautiful truth is:
All Bernedoodles share the same loving, gentle nature — regardless of size.
They are known for being:
Affectionate
Loyal
Emotionally connected
Gentle
The biggest difference is simply their physical size.
Which Bernedoodle Size Is Best for Australian Families?
In our experience, Mini and Medium Bernedoodles are especially popular in Australia.
They adapt beautifully to family life.
They are easy to manage.
And they fit well into many homes and lifestyles.
However, every family is different.
The best size always depends on your personal preference, home, and lifestyle.
