History: The Saint Berdoodle is the product of crossing a Saint Bernard with a Poodle. Like most designer dogs, the Saint Berdoodle's history is unclear. Aside from the fact that it originated in the United States, there isn't much information about how or when the Saint Berdoodle came to be. It is believed that the breed was created during the 1980s, which is when the "designer dog craze" first started. Due to its mixed breed status, the Saint Berdoodle cannot be recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC). However, the breed is registered by the American Canine Hybrid Club (ACHC), the Designer Breed Registry (DBR), and several other clubs for hybrid and designer breeds.

Temperament: The Saint Berdoodle is a gentle giant. These dogs are very affectionate and loyal, and they love to be included in whatever their family is doing. They do well with children, but have a tendency to be suspicious of strangers. Since Saint Berdoodles are so social, they do not do well when left by themselves for extended periods of time. If alone for too often, a Saint Berdoodle may become destructive. Training a Saint Berdoodle is on the easier side, as these dogs are highly intelligent and love to please. They are big dogs, though, so Saint Berdoodles do best with assertive owners who able to handle large dogs. With proper training and early socialization, a Saint Berdoodle puppy will have no problem growing up into a well-rounded dog.
