Say hello to Lex โ one of the most captivating girls in the Paw Tale Puppies family. Lex is a mini bernedoodle merle with a coat that turns heads and a personality that captures hearts. Her merle patterning splashes across her fluffy, wavy fur in a mesmerizing blend of warm and cool tones, creating a look that’s both wild and wonderfully soft. She has an expressive face, bright curious eyes, and an unmistakable presence that makes her stand out even in a litter full of beautiful puppies.
Lex sits in the micro size range, with an expected adult weight of 20โ25 pounds โ the sweet spot for a dog who’s big enough to keep up with an active lifestyle but compact enough to fit seamlessly into nearly any living situation. Whether you’re in a city apartment or a suburban home, Lex will adapt. She’s the kind of dog who makes herself at home wherever you are, as long as she’s close to her people.
From day one, Lex has shown a personality that balances spunk with sweetness. She’s a confident girl โ one of the first to explore new spaces, the first to investigate a new toy, and absolutely unafraid of a little adventure. At the same time, she has a deep, genuine affection for the people around her. She’ll charge fearlessly into a new experience and then immediately turn around to share the excitement with whoever is nearby. That duality โ boldness and tenderness in equal measure โ is what makes Lex such an extraordinary puppy.
The mini bernedoodle merle coloring that makes Lex so visually stunning is a true genetic rarity. Merle is a pattern modifier that creates unpredictable, beautiful swirls and patches of diluted and full-intensity color throughout the coat. In Lex’s case, the result is a lush, layered tapestry of tones that seems to change depending on the angle and the light. You’ll never grow tired of looking at her โ and neither will anyone else. Strangers will stop you on the street. Friends will ask where you found her. She is genuinely that beautiful.
Bernedoodles as a breed are celebrated for combining the most desirable traits of the Bernese Mountain Dog and the Poodle. From the Bernese side, Lex inherits a loving, loyal, and gentle nature โ she bonds deeply with her family and is instinctively nurturing and patient. From the Poodle side, she gets sharp intelligence, trainability, and a low-shedding coat that’s friendlier for allergy sufferers. Together, these qualities create a dog that’s not just beautiful but deeply functional as a companion โ adaptable, clever, easy to live with, and endlessly devoted.
Lex’s intelligence is already on full display. She picks up on cues quickly, responds well to her name, and has already begun engaging with simple cause-and-effect interactions during early enrichment activities at Paw Tale Puppies. Positive reinforcement training will be her happy place โ she loves praise, she loves treats, and she loves the feeling of figuring something out. With consistent, gentle training from her new family, Lex will bloom into a beautifully mannered companion dog with a rich repertoire of skills and behaviors.
Socially, Lex is warm and welcoming. She’s been carefully socialized from an early age, introduced to a wide variety of stimuli, people, and situations to lay the foundation for a confident adult dog. She is comfortable with handling, enjoys meeting new people, and plays well with other dogs. She’s gentle enough for young children, engaging enough for active adults, and adaptable enough for families of all compositions. No matter who walks through the door, Lex will likely greet them with enthusiasm and a wagging tail.
At Paw Tale Puppies, every puppy receives the best possible start in life. Lex has been raised in a clean, loving, home environment with regular veterinary care, age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, and early neurological stimulation. She’ll go home with a health guarantee, a microchip, a puppy starter pack, and the ongoing support of our experienced team who are always available to answer questions and celebrate milestones with you.
Choosing a mini bernedoodle merle like Lex is choosing a dog who will be your adventure partner, your couch companion, your loyal shadow, and your daily dose of joy all rolled into one. She’s feisty enough to keep life interesting, sweet enough to melt even the toughest heart, and beautiful enough to inspire a dedicated Instagram account. Lex is not just a puppy โ she’s a lifestyle upgrade. We can’t wait to see where she lands.

Paw Tale Puppies is a wonderful place with the most adorable puppies and the owners have a heart of gold I have a situation now with my health but they are so understanding to help me and in the future for me to have a precious little one to love if you are looking for a wonderful place please contact them. They are the best I give them 10 stars for the way they are.Posted on Cathy WorleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Melvin was very helpful with our purchase of Rusty (formerly Anthony) a mini Bernadoodle. The facility is very clean. I would recommend Tall Tale Puppies for your next puppy.Posted on Lisa KlotzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. was very happy with my experience with bringing a bernedoodle puppy home from Paw Tale Puppies. Melvin Lapp seems to genuinely care about the ethics of his breeding program and the quality of the socialization and care his family provides to his puppies. I liked that he was not only thoughtful in breeding for temperament but also using genetic testing to inform breeding decisions to support healthy starts for the puppies. Melvin took time to listen to what was important to me in choosing a puppy and had a recommendation for me of which puppy he thought might be a good fit if I agreed when I met the puppy. ย I was able to see the puppies virtually before making an appointment to pick the puppy up. I really liked the puppy Melvin recommended and chose to bring him home. When picking my new puppy up, I saw that the environment was clean and well organized. Records were well kept. My puppy is curious, happy, and affectionate. Heโs very intelligent and picks up training very quickly. He had been well socialized at Paw Tale Puppies. He was used to household sounds and activity and was calm during grooming and nail trimming. Heโs done well with meeting new people. He gets along very well with my two-year-old dog and has been a really great addition to the family. I would recommend exploring Paw Tale Puppies as a good option if youโre looking for a lovable dog with good temperament who has been given a healthy start in life.Posted on Cindy LipmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Melvin was wonderful to work with every step of the way and was always available to answer any of our questions. Our puppy was amazing , very calm and laid back and adjusted well. We were so Blessed to find this breeder. Truly a gift from God.Posted on Tina ThomasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are grateful for the professionalism and the responsiveness we received while working with Paw Tale in getting our precious mini Bernedoddle, Oakley. Melvin was very polite and answered all my questions promptly, even on the weekend and through the holiday season. Melvin FaceTimed with us twice so we could see live activity of our puppy. Great communication before and after our transaction. Thank you to Puppy Tale.Posted on Carol TothTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I reached out on Friday, February 20th to inquire about Gracie, an 8 week old Micro Bernedoodle and received an immediate response about her availability. The following day we drove 5 hours to see her. We fell in love with her right away and decided to take her home with us. Melvin was wonderful to work with as he prepared her paperwork, took care of having her microchipped, and providing us with a care package. We were extremely impressed with how clean the facility is kept and with the fenced in yard where the puppies can run around. Gracie is a wonderful addition to our family.Posted on Patrick MunleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the pleasure of meeting Melvin, the owner, while picking up our new puppy yesterday. First let me say that he was very professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and most importantly, Melvin has a true passion for what he is doing. The location where he breeds and raises the puppies is also connected to his home. Therefore he is never disconnected from the puppies or his family. Everything about this made us feel more comfortable and trusting purchasing a puppy from him. His belief and process for raising his puppies until they are ready to go home with you is amazing. He truly cares about each and every puppy making sure they are healthy, socialized, are exercised, are played with, and loved. In my opinion this makes a huge difference and sets them apart from every "pet store". This I believe will also help develop the dogs personality. Our puppy, an almost 9 week old mini bernedoodle, is amazing. You can tell she was socialized because she is not timid or shy. She has the perfect temperament as well. She is playful, seems to listen very well, and is already our shadow following us everywhere and wanting to be held and pet all the time. The bond was almost immediate. All of this is because of the process Melvin truly believes in and makes sure all of his puppies are raised this way. A true testament to his passion. I will make sure I will recommend Paw Tale Puppies to our friends or anyone looking for a puppy. After our expierence, I can't imagine anyone wanting to purchase their pet from anyone else.Posted on Liz LimaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The absolute best experience! <3 Me and my husband drove from Massachusetts to pick up our Christmas puppy. We named him Dasher. He is the absolute cutest and the best little puppy! We have two big Sheepadoodles and I've always wanted a smaller dog. He fits right in. The facility is gorgeous and clean. Melvin is great! Answered all our questions and was very thorough and thoughtful. Even checked in to make sure Dasher was adjusting to his new home. Thank you so much Melvin!
Bernedoodles generally excel with other dogs, often displaying a friendly, sociable, and adaptable nature. Their gentle disposition, combined with the intelligence inherited from their Poodle lineage, makes them highly receptive to early socialization. This early exposure to various dogs and environments is crucial for developing positive interactions.
Bernedoodles are incredibly patient and gentle, making them excellent with children. Their playful yet calm demeanor ensures they’re both fun companions and tolerant of energetic youngsters.
Thanks to their Poodle heritage, Bernedoodles often have low-shedding, “hypoallergenic” coats, significantly reducing dander and airborne allergens. This makes them an excellent choice for many allergy sufferers.
Bernedoodles are wonderfully playful, often retaining their puppy-like energy into adulthood. They love games of fetch, romping in the yard, and engaging in activities with their families, bringing joy and laughter.
Bernedoodles aren’t typically excessive barkers, often preferring quieter communication. While they’ll alert you to visitors, they’re generally not prone to nuisance barking, especially with proper training and stimulation.
Their intelligence makes them highly trainable, though their occasional willfulness means consistent training is key.
