A Bernedoodle with a straight coat, often referred to as a hair coat, typically inherits more of the Bernese Mountain Dog’s characteristics. As an adult, a straight-coated Bernedoodle has fur that lies close to the body, giving a sleek and flat appearance with minimal waves. This coat type tends to shed more than the wavy or curly coats, though it still sheds less than a pure Bernese Mountain Dog’s coat. These dogs generally require regular but less intensive grooming compared to their curlier counterparts, needing brushing once or twice a week to prevent matting and to distribute natural oils.
