Why are Bernedoodles so popular in the US? (lemm.ee)

Hey, something like 10 dogs walk past my home every day and I swear something like 6 of 10 are Bernedoodles. Unscientific, I know but my sister got one too. So, it seems too frequent to be a coincidence.

Does anyone here know why this breed is so popular in the last few years?

My guess: since I live in a conservative place (in the USA) someone famous got one, or said they're great dogs for "patriots" to own. (/smh)

But thanks for any ideas. I searched around but all I got were those BS filled, "What you should know about the Bernedoodle" pages, saying dumb stuff like, "Bernedoodles have quickly gained popularity due to their cuddly nature and lovable personalities". I bet there's something else going on here.

*doodles are super popular in Chicago because so many people live in apartments, and poodles and their associated mixes are hypoallergenic because they have hair and not fur.
