Paw Tale Puppies - Minin Bernedoodles

While our program specializes primarily in Toy and Micro sizing, we do welcome a limited number of Mini Bernedoodle litters throughout the year, typically maturing in the 25–35 lb range. Every parent dog in our program undergoes rigorous genetic health screening, and each puppy receives a thorough veterinary exam and full vaccinations before coming home with you — Mini or otherwise.

Mini Bernedoodles

The Mini Bernedoodle is one of the fuller-bodied options in our program, maturing in that classic 25–35 lb range. Rather than the heavier poodle backcrossing we use for our Micro and Toy lines, Minis come from a more traditional Bernedoodle-to-Poodle pairing, giving them a slightly more substantial build and a coat that leans a bit closer to the classic Bernedoodle look. Because we specialize primarily in Toy and Micro sizing, Mini litters are less frequent for us — but when they do come around, they carry every bit of the charm our program is known for.

Don’t let the extra size fool you — a Mini Bernedoodle still has that same big, goofy heart. They’re affectionate, quick to bond, and just as eager to please as their smaller counterparts, which makes training feel natural rather than forced. Their slightly larger frame makes them a great fit for active families, multi-pet households, or anyone who wants a dog with a bit more presence without losing that classic Bernedoodle sweetness.

Their coats come in the same wide range of colors and patterns as our smaller sizes, with that soft, wavy-to-curly texture that calls for regular grooming to stay healthy and mat-free. As with every dog in our program, our Mini Bernedoodles’ parents go through OFA health testing as part of our ongoing commitment to sound, healthy breeding. For families who want that full Bernedoodle spirit in a slightly bigger frame, the Mini Bernedoodle is a wonderful — if less common — option worth the wait.

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.

What Makes A Mini Bernedoodle Different From Your Other Sizes?

Rather than the heavier poodle backcrossing we use for our Toy and Micro lines, Mini Bernedoodles come from a more traditional Bernedoodle-to-Poodle pairing. That gives them a slightly more substantial build, maturing in the 25–35 lb range, with a coat that leans a bit closer to the classic Bernedoodle look.

Why Are Mini Bernedoodles Less Common In Your Litters?

Our program specializes primarily in Toy and Micro sizing, so Mini litters happen less often for us. When they do come around, they carry every bit of the health testing and temperament focus that goes into all our breeding.

What Coat Colors Are Available For Mini Bernedoodles?

Mini Bernedoodles come in the same wide range of colors and patterns as our smaller sizes, with that soft, wavy-to-curly texture Bernedoodles are known for. Regular grooming keeps their coat healthy and mat-free.

At Paw Tale Puppies, we take our responsibility as breeders very seriously—our puppies are truly our world. Every step of our process is built around raising healthy, happy, and well-socialized companions. We place strong emphasis on genetic testing to ensure the long-term health of our lines, and every puppy receives thorough veterinary checks before going home. We also believe that early socialization is key, so we dedicate time each day to nurturing confidence, curiosity, and connection in every pup.
