All the Bernedoodle heart, sized for the sofa.
The Story of the Breed
A breed worth knowing
The Mini Bernedoodle takes everything families love about the Bernedoodle — the devotion, the tri-color beauty, the low-shedding coat — and delivers it in a size that fits apartments, laps, and travel carriers. Minis are created by pairing the Bernese Mountain Dog's lines with Miniature and Toy Poodles across careful generations.
Because smaller dogs tend to live longer, Minis often outlast their Standard cousins — many reach their mid-to-late teens. They inherited the Bernese gentleness and the Poodle's quick mind, in a package light enough to join you anywhere.
At Pigs N Poodles, our Mini program is built on tiny, health-tested Toy Poodle mothers like Molly and gentle Mini Bernedoodle sires like Finnegan and Patches — producing soft, sweet, sofa-sized companions.

Living With Them
Temperament & family life
Perfectly Portable
Small enough for apartment life, road trips, and airline cabins — a companion who genuinely goes where you go.
Gentle Playmates
The Bernese softness scaled to child height: patient, cuddly, and sturdy enough for family life.
Easy Keepers
Non-shedding coats, modest exercise needs, and quick minds make Minis one of the easiest doodles to live with.
Brush a few times a week, groom every six to eight weeks, and give them their daily play and walk — a Mini asks little and gives everything back for fourteen years or more.
