Hey, something like 10 dogs walk past my home every day and I swear something like 6 of 10 are Bernedoodles. Unscientific, I know but my sister got one too. So, it seems too frequent to be a coincidence.

Does anyone here know why this breed is so popular in the last few years?

My guess: since I live in a conservative place (in the USA) someone famous got one, or said they’re great dogs for “patriots” to own. (/smh)

But thanks for any ideas. I searched around but all I got were those BS filled, “What you should know about the Bernedoodle” pages, saying dumb stuff like, “Bernedoodles have quickly gained popularity due to their cuddly nature and lovable personalities”. I bet there’s something else going on here.

    Absolutely not this and I’m very surprised that you’re mostly upvoted.

    People get these dogs because they’re cute. People like cute dogs. It’s not a status symbol.

    And poodle mixes are owned by a huge variety of people. Is the hype/trend of having them overblown? Absolutely. But people get them because they’re cute. People like cute dogs.

    You come across as someone who is very uninformed but very opinionated about the subject.
