One of the most common questions families ask when researching Bernedoodles is:
Do Bernedoodles shed?
And it’s an important question — especially for families who want a cleaner home or who may have sensitivities to dog hair.
The wonderful news is that Bernedoodles are known for having low-shedding coats, which is one of the many reasons they have become so loved by families across Australia.
But there is also more to understand, and we believe families deserve honest, clear information.
Why Bernedoodles Shed Less Than Many Other Breeds
Bernedoodles are a cross between:
The Bernese Mountain Dog
and
The Poodle
The Poodle is famous for its low-shedding coat, and this trait is often passed on to Bernedoodle puppies.
This means many Bernedoodles shed significantly less than traditional breeds.
Instead of loose hair falling around your home, much of the hair stays within their coat.
This is one of the reasons Bernedoodles are often described as low-shedding.
Coat Type Plays a Big Role in Shedding
Not all Bernedoodle coats are identical.
There are three main coat types:
Curly Coat
This coat type sheds the least.
It is most similar to the Poodle coat.
These coats are soft, dense, and very low shedding.
Wavy Coat (Teddy Bear Coat)
This is the most popular coat type.
It gives Bernedoodles their beautiful teddy bear appearance.
Wavy coats are typically low shedding.
Many families love this coat type.
Straight Coat
Straight coats may shed slightly more than curly or wavy coats.
They are less common but still beautiful.
Even straight coats usually shed less than many traditional breeds.
Are Bernedoodles Hypoallergenic?
No dog is completely hypoallergenic.
However, Bernedoodles are often a wonderful choice for families looking for a low-shedding companion.
Many families who previously struggled with shedding breeds find Bernedoodles much easier to live with.
What This Means for Your Home
Because Bernedoodles shed less, families often notice:
Less hair on furniture
Less hair on clothing
Less hair on floors
This makes them easier to manage in the home compared to many heavy-shedding breeds.
Grooming Is Still Important
Low shedding does not mean no maintenance.
Bernedoodles require regular grooming to keep their coats healthy and comfortable.
This includes:
Brushing
Professional grooming
General coat care
Regular grooming keeps their coats beautiful and helps prevent tangles.
Shedding Can Vary Between Individual Dogs
Because Bernedoodles are a mixed breed, shedding levels can vary slightly between puppies.
This is normal.
However, responsible breeding plays an important role in producing puppies with the beautiful low-shedding coats families love.
Why Families Across Australia Love Bernedoodles
Low shedding is just one of the many reasons families fall in love with Bernedoodles.
They are also known for being:
Gentle
Loyal
Affectionate
Emotionally connected
They bring so much love into a home.
