Do Mini Bernedoodles shed?
One of the big selling points of any Poodle cross is the low-shedding quality of the coat. Mini Bernedoodles will shed minimally or not at all.
This does however not mean that no grooming or coat care is required! Mini Poodles’ hair tangles and mats quickly, and so does the Mini Bernedoodle’s. You need to brush your Mini Bernedoodle regularly and clip his coat. The hair is “ever-growing” and will become extremely long and matted unless you take good care of it.
While you do not have to plan on vacuuming hair, you certainly need to plan on brushing and grooming your Mini Bernedoodle throughout his entire life. There are a number of cute haircuts for Poodles and Doodles you can try out!
Are Mini Bernedoodles hypoallergenic?
Mini Bernedoodles tend to be a hypoallergenic dog breed. This means that they are less likely to provoke allergy sufferers. However, it is important to keep in mind that no dog breed is completely hypoallergic.
Dog allergies can be against different proteins – such as the ones found in dander, in urine, in saliva… While your Mini Bernedoodle will not lose hair all over the house, he may still trigger certain allergies.
If you have in the past experienced an allergic reaction towards a dog, you should spend some time around a Mini Bernedoodle before committing to this breed – to make sure that you do not purchase a puppy you have to later rehome!
