CURRENT LITTER PICS

Some are inclined to doodle at a very early age 

WELL….my idea to allow ONE breeding for Carol’s first litter ……so it would hopefully be a smaller litter ……..

that absolutely did NOT work……Yeowsa Carol! 

Rufus gene in play here!  Both parents have vibrant red in their genes …..so I expect these creamy pups to darken.   

Here they are.  Sorted by color !
July 21 Update: Puppies  marked with a heart are reserved. 

CURRENT LITTER VideoS

TRI PARTI PUPS

THE MALE IS RESERVED 

TRADITIONAL TRI COLOR

Three boys and  girl!  These four are all reserved. 

Red and White Bernedoodles


The Rufus Red ( frosty ) boy is reserved.  

Red Bernedoodles are a personal favorite ! 

Our lines contain the Rufus gene which initially  presents as a frosty apricot or creamy color and develops more red in the first few months of life.  

Reservation Process

If you would like  information please text me at 802-299-9883.  I am happy to share pics of the litter as they grow .  You may choose a pup via photo or video prior to 5 - 6 weeks. Or visit after that time.

Deposits 

We require a $300 deposit to reserve your puppy. 

WE ONLY ACCEPT DEPOSITS ON SPECIFIC PUPS.  (This change in  policy is so that people cannot hold up the choosing process for other people . 😀).    Deposits are NON REFUNDABLE.

If you are quite sure you want a puppy and see one that visually appeals to you …. but would like to visit before finalizing your decision…. Then we recommend you deposit on a specific pup before your visit.  If an “ Unreserved Pup” decides to choose you at your visit you are certainly welcome to shift your reserved choice. 


Thank you for your interest and support !
Phone: 802-299-9883.  


FUTURE PLANS

2026 BERNEDOODLE PLANS 

We will be offering at least 2 litters of F1B bernedoodles from our 3 high red intensity abstract phantom, genetically clear poodles paired with Scooter,  a mini F1 Bernedoodle with Embark clear testing. These 3 girls are AKC registered, with delightful temperaments and all have a 9 or 10 red intensity.  ( Skye, Kyrie, Carol )

2026 MINI POODLE PLANS 

We plan to debut our new stud dog hopeful “ Beau” in 2026. He is AKC  Tri Merle phantom, 11 lbs.
He resides in a guardian home in VT.  He will be bred to Luxe , a chocolate cherry phantom with 8r/2c intensity  and 1 copy abstract.  She is AKC , 13 lbs with clear genetic testing. 


About Our Parent Dogs

Our Breeder’s Quest

Our parent dogs  are our family and live in our home with us.  At any time we may have 2-4 breeding age females and 2 intact males under our roof.  And possibly a puppy that is being tested and evaluated for appropriateness over months or a year.  We also have stud dogs in guardian homes.  


There is more than meets the eye with our gorgeous painstakingly selected breeding dogs and we treat them as our partners in bringing you the best puppy we can muster.  

The Breeder’s Niche we aspire to is as follows:

 Calm, socialized, confident, eager to please temperament. Sound and strong structure. Quality movement. Medium to small size. Free of testable disease.  Low shed, hypoallergenic, with desirable coat characteristics.  And as much “ color pop” as we can muster by adding red intensity and rufus genetics into our lines.   

I have sifted thru many hundreds of litters and testing results to select dogs that have clear health genetics, solid canine builds, and desirable color and coat profiles.  

Every dog in our home is a phantom.  Without sable, roan or saddle tan. My favorite combination for Bernedoodle puppies is a F1 Bernedoodle sire bred to a phantom poodle dam who has at least 8 red intensity .… to create the more hypoallergenic F1B. 


Our stud dogs have hard to find characteristics, and their impact on our puppies is clear.  
Our momma dogs are typically very rare high red  intensity AKC phantom poodles with completely clear genetic testing, with Rufus and Irish spotting genetics.  I find poodles make excellent intelligent mothers- a bit more careful, devoted, fastidious and fit than other breeds.

WHY “ DOODLES” / OUT CROSSES?
I am a strong advocate for low COI  and intentional hybrid breedings and careful outcrosses.   The benefits of outcrossing whist maintaining known characteristics of a purebred are discussed at length on nearly every University Agricultural website and in their educational materials.  

As a farmer for 20 years it was quite clear to me that the F1  “ doodles” of the chicken or bovine worlds benefited from vigor, good nature and health beyond that of their purebred parents.   As is seen in breeds like an ISA Brown chicken or white faced angus.   So while I understand that some breeders of purebred are mortified  by “ doodling “, my own perspective is a respect for the possible enhancement of  hardiness, health and temperament of a widened but still predictable gene pool.  
I genuinely love both BMD and Poodle breeds.  
The BMD is loyal, devoted, calm with stunning markings and a solid, strong build.  It is also a large breed that sheds heavily and has a poor health outlook, chronic whelping struggles and lack of longevity.
Poodles are extremely tuned in, smart, hypoallergenic, athletic, excellent mothers,  available in a range of sizes, and generally long lived.  They can also be more high strung,  their coloring generally fades, and they are prone to ear hair/ infections and watery eyes.
A Bernedoodle bridges the gap- providing a longer lived , colorful, more hypoallergenic dog in a manageable size.
