Finally!!!

After much thought, we decided to bring a mini Bernedoodle (F1B, male) into our family! Last week, we chose our gorgeous new puppy at just 4 weeks old. Of course, he came from a responsible breeder who tested both the puppies and their parents for 192 hereditary disorders, coat type, and more. All the puppies were healthy and social, and the mother, Nova, was friendly and welcoming. We were thrilled! We were able to pick him up about three to four weeks later, and in the meantime, we prepared everything he would need for his new home.

We chose a Bernedoodle because of their fantastic temperament, intelligence, and low-shedding coat, along with their beautiful color patterns. We were also drawn to traits of the Bernese Mountain Dog, as we had previously loved our Berner, who sadly passed away 14 years ago at the age of 6.5. Bernedoodles offered us a similar personality but with a longer life expectancy — tiny Bernedoodles can live 12–18 years, which was perfect for us (dogtime.com).

Below are photos of his parents. We expect our puppy to be slightly smaller and slimmer than Nova, with a similar Merle coat color.

Through this site, I’ll keep you updated on his growth and adventures, with photos and videos along the way, so you can watch him grow up just like we do.
