Fair. Four to five months is the usual time to make this estimate. It is reasonable now, but the range is still wide.

Estimate only. For health questions, ask your vet. Mixed breeds can land outside the range.

In short

Key takeaways

  1. A full grown Bernedoodle weighs 10 to 100 lb across all its sizes.
  2. No kennel club recognizes the Bernedoodle, so these are typical ranges built from the parent breeds and a veterinary publisher.
  3. Most of the growing is done by about 11 months.
  4. A curly or doodle coat means regular paid grooming, which is a real yearly cost.
  5. The chart below shows a band, not a line, because individual dogs vary.

Timing

When a Bernedoodle stops growing

In our figures, a dog in the extra large size class has done almost all of its weight gain by about 11 months. After that the weekly gain drops below a quarter of a percent of adult weight, which is slow enough that you will not see it on the scales week to week.

Height finishes earlier than weight. The AKC puts small breeds at full size by 6 to 8 months, medium breeds at around 12 months, and giant breeds at 12 to 18 months, with some very large breeds taking up to 24. In a breed with several sizes, the smaller variety finishes first: that is a size effect, not a breed one.

Variation

Why individual Bernedoodles differ

Bernedoodle size is set almost entirely by the Poodle parent. A Standard Poodle gives a Standard Bernedoodle, a Miniature Poodle gives a Mini, and a Toy Poodle gives a Tiny.

A Standard Bernedoodle is a large dog that keeps filling out for longer than a small one. Expect frame first and weight second: the height arrives before the final weight does.

Mini Bernedoodles cover a wide band, 20 to 45 pounds, because a Miniature Poodle is 10 to 15 pounds and a Bernese Mountain Dog is 70 pounds and up. Which side a puppy takes after is not predictable before it grows.

Running cost

Grooming a Bernedoodle

A curly or doodle coat is a running cost, and it is worth knowing the figure before you take a puppy home rather than after. The price per groom goes up with the size of the dog.

FAQ

Questions people ask

How big is a Bernedoodle full grown?
10 to 100 pounds across every size this breed comes in, standing 23 to 29 inches at the shoulder. No registry recognizes this cross, so these are typical ranges rather than a standard.
How can I tell how big my Bernedoodle puppy will get?
Weigh your puppy and enter its age in the calculator on this page. It is already set to the extra large growth curve for this breed, so it works backwards from where your puppy is now rather than from the breed average. Four to six months is when the estimate is most reliable.
How often does a Bernedoodle need grooming?
A curly or doodle coat needs a groom every 4 to 6 weeks under published guidance. Over a year that adds up, and the grooming cost estimator works out what it comes to for a dog this size.
When does a Bernedoodle stop growing?
Weight gain slows to almost nothing at around 11 months for a dog in the extra large size class, and the chest and frame keep filling out for months after that. Height finishes earlier than weight in every breed.
How big is a mini Bernedoodle full grown?
Twenty to 45 pounds, standing up to 22 inches. That is a wide band for a small dog, so your own puppy's growth so far is a better guide than the breed average. Enter its age and weight above.
When does a Bernedoodle stop growing?
A Mini is near its adult weight at about ten months. A Standard takes longer, closer to a year, and keeps adding a little muscle after that. Our figures put the extra-large size class at 93 percent of adult weight by twelve months.
How much does a Bernedoodle cost to groom?
A curly coat needs clipping every four to six weeks. Published prices for a full groom with a haircut run from $50 for a small dog to $250 for an extra-large one, so a Standard Bernedoodle sits near the top. The grooming cost estimator works it out by size.

Method

How we calculate this

The adult weight and height come from the sources below. The shape of the growth chart comes from our own calculation on the open data behind a published veterinary growth standard, described on the how we calculate page. The charts are estimates built from a breed range and a population curve, not measurements of this breed.
