Our Bernedoodles
WE OFFER TWO TYPES OF BERNEDOODLES IN OUR BREEDING PROGRAM, THE MULTIGENERATION "TEDDY BEAR" BERNEDOODLE AND THE AUSTRALIAN BERNEDOODLE
What is a Multigeneration Bernedoodle? Simply put, it is a Bernedoodle whose parents are both Bernedoodles of various generations. They are given the nickname "Teddy Bear" due to their soft shaggy fleece coats, blocky head structure and short wide muzzle.
The Australian Bernedoodle was developed by crossing a Bernese Mountain Dog with an Australian Labradoodle. Our Australian Bernedoodle puppies have a higher percentage of Bernedoodle to Australian Labradoodle ratio and contrary to popular belief, They do not have any Australian Shepherd ancestry.
A BIT OF BERNEDOODLE HISTORY
Canadian Breeder Sherry Rupke of Swiss Ridge Kennels was the first to cross the Bernese Mountain Dog with a Poodle to create an F1 or First Generation Bernedoodle. Knowing the short lifespan and genetically predisposed health issues of the Bernese, her goal was to attain the traits people love about the Bernese Mountain Dog while adding the longevity, health qualities and hypoallergenic coat traits of the Poodle.
Over the years, the Bernedoodle has steadily gained in popularity, quickly becoming one of the most popular and highly sought after family companion dogs across the US.
To Learn more about the history Behind the Bernedoodle breed, I highly recommend visiting SWISS RIDGE KENNEL and read Sherry's story.

A BIT OF AUSTRALIAN LABRADOODLE HISTORY
What exactly is an Australian Labradoodle and where did it originate? The Australian Labradoodle began its early development in the late 1980s where a breeder by the name of Wally Conran introduced a Labrador x Poodle cross to the Royal Guide Dogs in Victoria, Australia. The goal was to develop a gentle, intelligent therapy dog that was also asthma and allergy friendly.
Over the years, the development of the breed introduced the English Cocker Spaniel, American Cocker Spaniel and the Irish Water Spaniel to the cross. Each breed of dog was specifically introduced to further enhance the coat type, temperament and trainability, resulting in the breed that exists today.
