Ultra Merle Bernedoodle Puppy Looks Just Like a 'Living Teddy Bear' or a Character From 'Fraggle Rock'
Bernedoodles have become a popular pick of pet parents over the years, thanks to the winning combination of the beloved Poodle and Bernese Mountain Dog breeds. Boasting a kaleidoscope of coat colors like honey gold, chocolate, snowy white and midnight black, these pooches look like walking multi-colored clouds. Add the swirling merle pattern to that fur, and heads will surely turn.
Truffle is an ultra merle Mini Bernedoodle puppy that's so floofy and adorable, people aren't sure if he's real.

original sound - Truffle
In the TikTok from @trufflecosta, the precious puppy was enjoying some cuddles from his mom. Truffle wriggled around, yawned, and rubbed his eyes, almost like he had just woken from a nap.
The canine cutie's coat could make anyone do a double-take. A marbled mosaic of cinnamon, gray, and white fluffy fur, Truffle's coat was like a poofy work of art. His floppy ears flying and tilting in all directions, along with his playful personality, exuded cartoon character or puppet vibes. Truffle looked like he was created in a studio or toy factory.
Followers fell in love with the floofy fur baby and compared him to everything from a plushie to a Jim Henson character:
- "Where did you get that living teddy bear?" one asked.
- "Has to be one of the best looking dogs ever... he looks like something off Fraggle Rock," another pointed out.
- "I thought it was a plushie - my heart!" a follower gushed.
- "It's like a stuffed animal came to life," someone noted.
- "Jim Henson would be jealous of your little Muppet," a fan remarked.
Bernedoodle's Fluffy Coat Is Low-Shedding
A Bernedoodle's coat is very lush and voluminous, giving them that cloud-like appearance. Thanks to their Poodle heritage, however, these hybrids aren't big shedders, so pet parents can enjoy that fluffy fur without the scattered dog hair.

Bernedoodles range in size, depending on which parent they take after. They can weigh anywhere from 10 to 90 pounds, with smaller dogs being referred to as Mini Bernedoodles. This crossbreed makes a wonderful family dog due to their loving and loyal personality.
And, like Truffle, Bernedoodles are over-the-top adorable.
