The Bernedoodle Coat.

Bernedoodle coats vary greatly. Some bernedoodles have a soft fleecy coat that is straight. This coat type tends to shed more than the curlier coat.

The wavy coated bernedoodles tend to shed less and sometimes not at all.

Curly Coated Bernedoodles are best for those with allergies as this coat type is usually very low to non-shedding.
