A young mini Bernedoodle puppy may weigh only a few pounds when it comes home. Many puppies go to new homes around 8 weeks old. At this age they are still small and need gentle care. They should not jump from high beds or couches because their young bones are still growing.
As the puppy grows the weight changes fast. A puppy may gain weight every week. This is normal when it eats well and stays healthy. But fast growth should still be steady and safe. Too much weight can put stress on the puppy body.

Curly coats may shed less but they can mat faster. Mat means the hair sticks together in tight knots. Wavy coats also need regular brushing. Straighter coats may shed more but can be easier to brush in some cases.
Many people want a mini Bernedoodle because they think it will not shed at all. This is not always true. Some shed very little. Some shed more. No dog is fully allergy free. A puppy with more Poodle coat may be better for people who want less shedding.

The most popular color is tri color. Tri color means the puppy has black white and brown in its coat. This color is loved because it looks close to the classic Bernese Mountain Dog look.

Ask the breeder many questions. Ask about the mother and father. Ask about health tests. Ask about vaccines. Ask about deworming. Ask what food the puppy eats. Ask how the puppy was raised.
Try to see the puppy with the mother if possible. The mother should look healthy and calm. The puppy area should be clean and safe. Puppies should not look weak dirty or scared.
A good breeder will also ask you questions. They may ask about your home your work schedule your family and your plan for training. This is a good sign. It shows the breeder cares where the puppy goes.
Do not buy only from cute photos. Scammers use puppy photos to trick buyers. Ask for a video call. Ask for real records. Ask for a contract. Never send money if something feels wrong.
You can also check rescue groups. Sometimes Bernedoodles need new homes. Adoption can cost less than buying from a breeder. But rescue dogs may need time and training. Make sure you are ready for that.
