Bernedoodles are known for forming strong bonds with their families and may experience separation anxiety if left alone for long periods. They thrive on interaction and enjoy being part of family activities. Their adaptable nature allows them to live in homes of various sizes, provided they receive adequate exercise and mental stimulation.
Bernedoodles often inherit the goofy, charming personality of the Bernese Mountain Dog, combined with the Poodle’s intelligence—making them lovable clowns with brains!
