Passionate Bernedoodle enthusiasts dedicated to helping Australian owners provide the best care for their beloved companions.
Bernedoodle Australia was born from a simple truth that every Bernedoodle owner quickly discovers: these remarkable dogs aren't just pets—they become beloved members of the family. Our journey began in 2024 when our founding members, all proud Bernedoodle owners themselves, recognised a significant gap in the Australian market for reliable, breed-specific information and product recommendations.
What started as informal conversations at dog parks and online forums about the unique challenges and joys of Bernedoodle ownership has evolved into Australia's most comprehensive resource for this wonderful hybrid breed. We noticed that while there was plenty of generic dog care advice available, finding information specifically tailored to the Bernedoodle's unique combination of Bernese Mountain Dog loyalty and Poodle intelligence was surprisingly difficult.
Our team comprises dedicated enthusiasts who have collectively spent years learning the intricacies of Bernedoodle care firsthand. We understand the specific grooming requirements of those beautiful wavy and curly coats—the difference between a slicker brush that glides through Bernedoodle fur and one that causes discomfort. We've navigated the dietary needs of these active dogs, from selecting appropriate kibble formulations that support joint health in larger Standards to finding the right portion sizes for energetic Miniatures.
We've experienced the heartbreak of hip dysplasia concerns and the joy of watching our Bernedoodles master complex tricks that showcase their remarkable intelligence. We've tested countless products, from orthopaedic beds designed for larger breeds to puzzle toys that challenge even the cleverest Bernedoodle minds. Every recommendation on our site comes from genuine experience and thorough research.
Our commitment extends beyond product recommendations. We believe that well-informed owners raise happier, healthier dogs. That's why we've developed comprehensive guides covering everything from socialisation techniques for Bernedoodle puppies to managing the breed's occasional stubborn streak during training. We address the real questions Australian Bernedoodle owners face: How do you keep a thick-coated dog comfortable during our harsh summers? Which local parks welcome larger breeds? What Australian-specific health considerations should owners be aware of?
At Bernedoodle Australia, transparency is paramount. When we recommend products, we clearly disclose our affiliate relationships and only suggest items we would confidently use with our own dogs. We regularly update our content to reflect the latest veterinary research, product releases, and community feedback. Our goal isn't to sell—it's to serve the Australian Bernedoodle community with honest, helpful information.
Whether you're researching before bringing home your first Bernedoodle puppy, seeking solutions for grooming challenges, or looking for the perfect enrichment toy, we're here to help. Welcome to our community of Bernedoodle lovers—we're thrilled to share this journey with you.
