What is a Merle Bernedoodle?

Standard Merle Bernedoodle Size

The Standard Merle Bernedoodle will be the biggest of the three. They will typically weigh between 65 to 95 pounds and stand 23 to 29 inches tall at the shoulder.

Toy/Micro Merle Bernedoodle Size

The Toy or Micro Merle Bernedoodle is the smallest size, and as such, they are also the most popular size. They weigh between 6 and 20 pounds and stand 10 to 17 inches tall at the shoulder.

Merle Bernedoodle Color Options

Merle Bernedoodles can have a wide range of color combinations due to their Merle coat pattern. They may have patches of black, brown, cream, gray, red, silver, or white on their coat. And because they are tri-colored dogs, they will also have the distinctive markings of a Bernese Mountain Dog too.

Blue Merle Bernedoodles

A Blue Merle Bernedoodle has a dilute gene that’s affected the black marking in its coat. Blue Merle is expressed as a gorgeous grayish-blue color, and one that is highly desirable for enthusiasts of the breed.

But Blue Merle is not the only kind of Merle. The Merle gene can also soften the tan of the Bernese Mountain Dog into a pretty peachy color. You can even get a Brown Merle Bernedoodle, with a coat that looks like milk chocolate.

There are three different sizes of this breed: Standard Blue Merle Bernedoodle, Mini Blue Merle Bernedoodle, and Toy/Micro Blue Merle Bernedoodle.

When is a Blue Merle Bernedoodle full grown?

A Standard Blue Merle Bernedoodle will be fully grown at around 12 to 18 months old. A Mini Blue Merle Bernedoodle will be fully grown at 8 to 12 months old. And a Toy/Micro Blue Merle Bernedoodle will be fully grown by 6 to 8 months old.

Merle Tri Color Bernedoodles

This term is simply another, more detailed way of describing a Merle Bernedoodle.

This Tri Color feature of the Bernedoodle is due to the Bernese Mountain Dog part of the dog’s makeup. Bernese Mountain Dogs have very distinct markings. They have black ears and backs, white tummies, faces, paws and tail tips, and tan jowls, ‘eyebrows’ and legs. A tri-colored Bernedoodle will end up looking very similar!

There are three different sizes of a Merle Tri Color Bernedoodle: Standard Merle Tri Color Bernedoodle, Mini Merle Tri Color Bernedoodle, and Toy/Micro Merle Tri Color Bernedoodle.

So, if you can imagine white paint being brushed over the coat of the Bernese Mountain Dog, then this is how we end up with the glorious Merle Tri Color coat markings that some Bernedoodles puppies are born with!

Merle Bernedoodle Health

All Bernedoodles, regardless of their coat color, are prone to certain health conditions. These health conditions include Hip Dysplasia, Epilepsy, Elbow Dysplasia, Von Willebrand’s Disease, Addison’s Disease and Cancer.

However, Merle Bernedoodles are especially prone to certain health conditions. These health conditions include Merle Pattern Blindness and Deafness, Demodectic Mange, and PRA-prcd (Progressive Retinal Atrophy).

Demodectic Mange

Demodectic mange is a skin condition that is caused by a mite. The mite burrows into the skin and causes an intense itchiness. Demodectic mange is more common in Merle Bernedoodles than in other dogs.

Merle Pattern Blindness and Deafness

Merle pattern blindness and deafness is a condition that affects Merle-patterned dogs. Merle-patterned dogs have a Merle gene that causes their coat to have Merle markings.

The Merle gene is responsible for the Merle coloring, but it also increases the chances of a Merle-patterned dog being born blind or deaf. In fact, about 25% of all Merle-patterned dogs are born deaf or blind.

PRA-prcd (Progressive Retinal Atrophy)
