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.

    Because people want the status symbol of having a dog without actually liking dogs, so they buy “convenient” dogs based on traits like how little they shed. Then the second they aren’t puppies anymore they dump them with a trainer to “train” all the dog out of them and/or dump them at a doggy daycare to torture the minimum wage employees who actually like dogs, all so the owners can take photos for their social media.

    Tl;dr: I love all dogs. But poodle mixes are exclusively owned by terrible people, and as a result, act terribly.
