The GOLDEN MOUNTAIN DOODLE is a cross breed from of a golden retriever, Bernese mountain dog and poodle. This wonderful hybrid first came into existence at the SwissRidge Kennels in 2013. Their breed name is a combination from Golden (golden retriever) Mountain (Bernese mountain dog) and Doodle (poodle). Why did SwissRidge decide to create this new hybrid breed? Although a Bernese mountain dog has many great qualities they do tend to have a stubborn streak. In an effort to eliminate this tendency, SwissRidge added the golden retriever because goldens always want to please their owner and have an ‘I’ll do whatever you want’ nature.

Because I breed a goldendoodle to a bernedoodle these pups do not shed. Their coat colors can range from red, apricot, brown, black and white and can be curly, wavy or even straight. Some of their coats have patterns and markings like a Bernese mountain dog or a bicolor/tricolor parti poodle, merle or phantom.

Why did I decide to add the GOLDEN MOUNTAIN DOODLE (GMD) to my business? Because within one litter I can have puppies that look and act like both the goldendoodle and bernedoodle. Golden mountain doodles are very affectionate and easy to train with a playful nature. They are people pleasers, wanting to be by your side and to learn new things. They are very social dogs and have a gentle and patient disposition that makes them great with children and for first-time dog owners as well as experienced owners alike. They truly are the best of all three breeds and make perfect all-around companions.
