Bernedoodle Papers — How to Get Official Registration Documents
Get Official Papers for Your BernedoodleWhat Are Bernedoodle Papers?
Bernedoodle papers are the official documents that record your dog's breed, lineage and ownership. The Bernedoodle is a designer hybrid crossed from a Bernese Mountain Dog and a Poodle, prized for its calm temperament and low-shedding coat. The AKC does not recognize the Bernedoodle as a purebred breed, but Designer Kennel Club registers it as a purebred designer dog. Bernedoodles are almost never sold with registration paperwork, and owners look for papers to confirm the dog's type, size and generation. A certificate also creates a permanent ownership record for a dog that can weigh 70 pounds or more.
Can You Get Papers for a Bernedoodle Without AKC Registration?
The AKC does not register the Bernedoodle, since it recognizes only pure breeds. Legacy registries follow the same rule, leaving Bernedoodle owners without an official record. DKC was built for designer dogs and registers the Bernedoodle directly, with no need for AKC lineage or breeder documents. You can register a standard or mini Bernedoodle through Foundation Registration and receive an official certificate.
