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.
Yeah plenty of well off liberal New Englanders have them around here. There are big Facebook groups about them and all kinds of online hype/bullshit (like everything at this point) about longevity, allergies, intelligence, etc.
They don’t shed as much, but the less they shed the more they need grooming, or they end up with mats and tangled.
That’s why every labradoodle and goldendoodle I come across at parks gets shaved down.
Do you just carry the clippers on you at all times?
😅
Worth pointing out that only some poodle mixes have hypoallergenic fur. Getting a poodle is a guarantee for hypoallergenic fur; getting a poodle mix is not.
