Sizes and Colors
Here is everything you need to know about the sizes and colors available in our breeding program.
CHOCOLATE TRI
To produce a Chocolate Tri Bernedoodle, specific genetic combinations are required. The "tri" in Chocolate Tri refers to three distinct coat colors – chocolate (brown), white, and tan. To achieve this coloration, the following genetic components are necessary:
CHOCOLATE (b) GENE
This gene determines the brown coloration in the coat. A Chocolate Tri Bernedoodle must inherit two copies of the chocolate gene, one from each parent.
BLACK (B) GENE
The black gene is responsible for the black pigment in the coat. In a Chocolate Tri Bernedoodle, this gene is present in a "hidden" form (recessive), as the brown gene (chocolate) dominates. Therefore, the Bernedoodle must inherit two copies of the recessive black gene (Bb) to allow the chocolate gene to express itself.
AGOUTI (a) GENE
This gene controls the distribution of black and tan in the coat. For a Chocolate Tri Bernedoodle, the tan points are created by the presence of the agouti gene, which allows the tan color to appear on specific areas like eyebrows, cheeks, chest, and legs.
The combination of these genes ensures that the Bernedoodle puppy inherits the necessary genetic makeup to display the Chocolate Tri coloration – rich chocolate, distinct white markings, and touches of tan. It's important for breeders to carefully select parent dogs with the appropriate genetic makeup to produce Chocolate Tri Bernedoodle puppies.
Introducing the adorable Chocolate Tri Bernedoodle – a mix of elegance and comfort. They have a glossy coat with rich chocolate colors, white markings, and touches of tan that make them look amazing.

BLACK (B) GENE
The presence of the black gene contributes to the black areas in the coat, including the marbling patterns.
AGOUTI (a) GENE
The agouti gene controls the distribution of black and tan in the coat. The tan points, often seen on eyebrows, cheeks, chest, and legs, are created by the agouti gene.
DILUTION (d) GENE
The dilution gene affects the intensity of black pigment, leading to a gray appearance. In the case of a Blue Merle coat, the dilution gene plays a role in creating the gray shades.
Additional coat color genes: Various other genes contribute to the specific shades of gray, black, and tan, as well as white markings in the coat.
It's important to note that the genetics involved in producing Blue Merle Tri Bernedoodles can be quite complex and involve multiple genes interacting. Responsible breeding practices, genetic health testing, and a deep understanding of coat color genetics are essential to ensure healthy puppies with the desired coat colors and patterns.
