Hey, something like 10 dogs walk past my home every day and I swear something like 6 of 10 are Bernedoodles. Unscientific, I know but my sister got one too. So, it seems too frequent to be a coincidence.

Does anyone here know why this breed is so popular in the last few years?

My guess: since I live in a conservative place (in the USA) someone famous got one, or said they’re great dogs for “patriots” to own. (/smh)

But thanks for any ideas. I searched around but all I got were those BS filled, “What you should know about the Bernedoodle” pages, saying dumb stuff like, “Bernedoodles have quickly gained popularity due to their cuddly nature and lovable personalities”. I bet there’s something else going on here.

    I don’t believe for a second that anyone said that.

    They’re popular dogs because they’re friendly retrievers but also have the intelligence of poodles as well as their hypoallergenic fur.

      Cool so it’s not just my area. Others here gave good reasons for them to be popular, unless you have any other thoughts?

    It’s probably as boring as there’s a dog farm in your area and that person prefers to breed them (for whatever their reason may be)

    Edit: I say that as a dog owner that doesn’t see many in my area and found a 6 month old corgi at a shelter because someone bought it from a local dog farm…

    i would add besides their constantly upbeat personalities, they are highly intelligent and the non-shedding seals the deal.

    ill never own a non-doodle again

      Big up for non-shedding. Pretty much the only deciding factor when we got ours.
