Micro Mini Bernedoodles
The Micro Bernedoodle is our smallest take on the Bernedoodle, bred for families who want that same loving Bernedoodle spirit in an especially compact package. Rather than crossing directly from a Bernese Mountain Dog, our Micro lines come primarily from Poodle and Mini Bernedoodle pairings, allowing us to bring the size down while still preserving the intelligence, affection, and playful nature Bernedoodles are known for. Their low-shed coats make them a wonderful option for allergy-sensitive households, while their eager-to-please nature makes training a genuinely enjoyable experience.
Micro Bernedoodles typically inherit the best traits of their lineage, resulting in a charming, adaptable companion that fits beautifully into smaller homes and apartment living. Despite their petite size, they carry big personalities — affectionate, loyal, and always eager to be wherever their family is. Whether you’re looking for a lap-sized cuddle buddy or a spirited little shadow to follow you around the house, the Micro Bernedoodle brings that same devoted nature in a smaller frame.
With their soft, wavy-to-curly coats and warm, expressive eyes, Micro Bernedoodles are undeniably charming. Coat colors and patterns can vary widely, but that classic scruffy, huggable look remains a constant. Regular grooming helps keep their coat healthy and mat-free. Overall, the Micro Bernedoodle offers an ideal combination of intelligence, affection, and easy-to-manage size for families who want a smaller dog without sacrificing personality.

Deep Dive Into Our Bernedoodle Sizing
Toy Bernedoodle: 10 - 20 Lbs
Our Toy Bernedoodles are produced through carefully selected pairings of smaller parents, with each generation helping us refine their compact size. Because genetics are unique, no two pairings produce exactly the same result, but our Toy Bernedoodles are generally expected to mature between 10–20 pounds.
Micro Bernedoodle: 25 - 35 Lbs
Micro Bernedoodles fall into the sweet spot between our smallest Toys and larger Mini Bernedoodles, with some natural size overlap between the two. Their mature size is influenced by the size and genetics of both parents, with our pairings selected to consistently produce that smaller Bernedoodle build. What sets the Micro apart isn’t just size, though — it’s a heavier emphasis on Poodle genetics, which shapes a coat that leans more consistently low-shed and hypoallergenic. Most of our Micros are expected to mature between 25–35 pounds.
Mini Bernedoodle: 25 - 35 Lbs
Mini Bernedoodles typically mature between 25–35 pounds, with their final size depending on the genetics and size of their parents. Our program specializes primarily in Toy, Micro, and even smaller Munchkin Bernedoodles, so while we do occasionally have a Mini litter, they’re less common for us than our smaller sizes.
Meet Our Bernedoodles By Coat Color
Merle Bernedoodles
No two Merle Bernedoodles look quite the same. Their coats feature beautiful marbling, patches, and variations of color that can create truly one-of-a-kind markings. While we love the uniqueness of merle, health always comes first in our breeding program—we never breed two merle dogs together, avoiding the increased health risks associated with double merle puppies.
Black Tri Bernedoodles
The Black Tri is the classic Bernedoodle look, drawing its beautiful black, white, and rust coloring from the traditional markings of the Bernese Mountain Dog. It’s a timeless coat that celebrates the breed’s heritage and gives our puppies that unmistakable Bernedoodle appearance families have loved from the beginning.
Red Tuxedo Bernedoodles
There’s something especially elegant about a Red Tuxedo Bernedoodle. Their rich red coloring paired with crisp white markings creates a bright, polished look reminiscent of a perfectly tailored tuxedo. Add in the playful, joyful personality of a Bernedoodle, and you get a puppy whose appearance is every bit as cheerful and charming as the dog underneath it.
Chocolate Bernedoodles
There’s something irresistibly cozy about a Chocolate Bernedoodle. Their deep, warm brown coat has a rich, velvety quality that catches the light like a fresh cup of cocoa, giving them a look that’s as comforting as it is striking. Pair that with the goofy, affectionate nature Bernedoodles are known for, and you get a puppy whose warmth isn’t just in the coat — it’s in the whole package.
Common Questions
Finding the perfect furry friend, can come with a lot of questions we are happy to answer any and all questions!
What is a Micro Bernedoodle?
It’s a cross between a Bernese Mountain Dog and a Toy Poodle, often bred across multiple generations to achieve the tiny size. A Micro Bernedoodle is even smaller than a “Mini,” typically weighing between 10 and 20 pounds.
How long do Micro Bernedoodles live?
Their lifespan is quite long, usually 14 to 18 years.One of the best perks of shrinking the breed is the lifespan. While a purebred Bernese may only live 7–9 years, a Micro Bernedoodle can live much longer, largely because the smaller heart and joints of the Poodle lineage are less prone to “giant breed” issues.
Are they high energy?
They have “bursts” of energy followed by long naps. While they love a good 20-minute game of fetch, they don’t require the miles of walking that a larger dog does, making them perfect for owners who prefer a more relaxed lifestyle.
Are Micro Bernedoodles 100% hypoallergenic?
While no dog is truly 100% hypoallergenic, Micros are as close as it gets. Because they are mostly Poodle (genetically speaking), they produce very little dander. If you have severe allergies, look for an F1b generation, which is 75% Poodle.
How Often should they be groomed?
Since they don’t shed, the dead hair can get trapped in the coat. If not brushed daily, this hair creates “mats” which act like tight knots against the skin. We recommend a professional grooming every 6 to 8 weeks.
Are they hard to train?
Don’t let the “toy” look fool you; these dogs are highly intelligent. The Poodle is consistently ranked as the second smartest dog breed in the world. They are incredibly bright. They inherit the “problem-solving” skills of the Poodle and the “emotional intelligence” of the Bernese. They can learn tricks in just a few repetitions, but they can also use that brainpower to figure out how to open cabinets or find hidden treats!
