Goldendoodles are loving, loyal, patient and social making them an excellent choice for families as they get along great with children and other pets. They are gentle and affectionate dogs with easy-going temperaments. They are also one of the smartest breeds making them easy to train and a great option for first time dog owners without prior experience owning a dog. Goldendoodles are people pleasers which makes for a great service/facility or therapy dog.

They are adaptable, easy to handle and generally easy to train. They are a great option for families looking for smaller doods.

The Bernedoodle is an exquisite cross between the Bernese Mountain Dog and a Poodle. The blend of the Bernese and the Poodle produces a smart, friendly, playful dog. They tend to have the sweetness and loyalty of the Bernese, and the goofy liveliness and intelligence of the Poodle. Like the Bernese, they are gentle around children and the elderly, and because they love to work, they often make excellent service/therapy dogs.

FUTURE
Moyen simply means Medium in French. Another term you may hear is Klein which is also medium in German. The Moyen/Klein poodle is just a smaller Standard Poodle. A Moyen/Klein Poodle falls right in between the Miniature and the Standard size poodle. Although AKC doesn't recognize Moyen/Klein as a size it is very popular in Europe.
The picture above shows the size difference side by side. Maui (Black Phantom) is a F1b Moyen Goldendoodle from Penny and Phoenix. Thor (Cream) is a F1 Standard Goldendoodle from Libby (Retired) and Bentley (Retired).
Moyen vs Standard
A hybrid dog combines the traits and characteristics of its purebred parents; with careful, conscientious breeding, the resulting pups may end up with the best attributes of each. Crossing purebred dogs of different breeds results in puppies that are healthier than either of their parents. This is because the two breeds are generally prone to different genetic problems. Hybrids such as the Goldendoodle or the Bernedoodle are only likely to inherit a health problem that is common to both the Poodle and the Golden/Bernese—two breeds that share few common diseases. Goldendoodles and Bernedoodles therefore have what is referred to as “hybrid vigor,” and can be expected to live healthier, longer lives than their purebred parents.
