Saint Berdoodle
Adult Size: Dependent on the hybrid, but typically 100-200 pounds
Breed: Saint Berdoodle (Saint Bernard and Poodle Hybrid)
Breed Group: NA/Hybrid

The Saint Berdoodle is not a purebred dog, nor is it an AKC recognized breed. Saint Berdoodle dogs are a hybrid or cross breed developed from the Saint Bernard and the Standard Poodle. However, the cross is recognized by the American Canine Hybrid Club (ACHC).

The Saint Berdoodle tends to have a stocky big body, like a Saint Bernard, but the coat of the Poodle. Like all of the other Poodle mixes, the Saint Berdoodle has a coat that rarely sheds and tends to have a lower dander count. The shaggy kind of coat that is produced needs minimal grooming.

Like their Saint Bernard ancestors, Saint Berdoodles are typically friendly, tolerant and love attention – especially from children. Because of their large size though, the Saint Berdoodle is not recommended for weak or frail owners.

Some Saint Berdoodle are true crosses between Saint Bernards and Poodles, while others are the result of successive generations, created by breeding Saint Berdoodle with Saint Berdoodle. These dogs are typically referred to as “multigenerational.”

In terms of health issues, veterinarians and breeders suggest that you ask about the dog’s risk for patellar luxation, epilepsy, bloat, hip dysplasia, cancer, entropion, ectropion and heart problems. Typically though, hybrid breeds are less vulnerable to breed-specific or genetic health issues.
