Welcome to Northern Lights Doodles. We are a Minnesota family raising Goldendoodles and Bernedoodles. Our focus is on producing healthy, happy, well socialized puppies with outstanding temperaments. We aim to match our puppies with the perfect loving forever homes. They are a part of our family before joining yours!
F1b goldendoodles are a 25/75 cross between an F1 goldendoodle and a poodle. The pairing of an F1 goldendoodle & poodle is what gives you 25% Golden Retriever and 75% Poodle. They are a special second generation doodle. F1b goldendoodle coats range from the soft curls to the straight hair. This generation 's coat is great for allergy sufferers because it means they shed so little you don't even notice it. Goldendoodles are playful, loyal, loving, friendly, a little goofy at times and wonderful with children. They are intelligent and aim to please their owners.
Please be aware that we cannot guarantee coat types, shedding, or adult looks when you adopt a puppy. Goldendoodles can have a high maintenance coat requiring dematting, combing and routine appointments at the groomer shop.
The goldendoodle is a cross breed which means currently they do not have a standard look but it also means they have a very healthy genetic code.

Bernedoodles are able to harness the best attributes of both the Bernese Mountain Dog & the Poodle. This is known as the “hybrid vigor.”
The Poodle genetics give them their intelligent, goofy and witty qualities, making them easy to train and housebreak. Along with that, the poodle genetics make bernedoodles virtually shed free and great for families with allergies!
The Bernese Mountain Dog genetics give them a playful, social, and loyal personality, making them the perfect companion dog. They are awesome with children and make a great choice for a family dog!
Bernese Mountain Dogs nearly went extinct in the late 1800s, and the effort to bring them back resulted in inbreeding which led to various health issues. As a result, they sadly have a relatively short lifespan (6-8 years). Crossing with the Poodle allows the Bernedoodle to keep the Bernese qualities that so many people adore, while also having a much longer lifespan (14-17 years).
