Meet the breeder

I'm Susie M., the breeder behind A Star is Born Doodles located in Jackson, MI. dedicated to raising excellent temperament, healthy puppies with beautiful coats. I take great pride in my pups. Breeding has been an absolute joy of a journey, and I am so happy to be able to share these wonderful dogs with other loving families and individuals.

Q. & A. with Susie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My love for the Bernedoodle inspired me to share this amazing breed with the world in a responsible way. I understand the very important role that breeders undertake; today’s breeders are the guardians of the future Bernedoodles.

  • What makes your program special?

    I am very proud to be breeding these incredible dogs. It is important to me that I am breeding versatile, well-rounded, socialized, and healthy pups for my buyers to welcome into their homes and hearts. Puppies sizes range from larger mini to small standard and are estimated to be 30-45 pounds. A few will be 50-65 pounds full grown.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies include mini, medium, and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include red, sable, black and white, tri-color, and blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Susie was incredibly professional, kind, and easy to work with! This was my first time working with a breeder, and without any prior reference or knowledge, I was understandably skeptical. But Susie made the entire process feel comfortable and reassuring. She even welcomed us for a visit before making any decisions, which truly showed her transparency and care. We instantly fell in love with the puppies, and after seeing the environment they were raised in, it was clear how much love and attention she gives them. It’s obvious that Susie is passionate about what she does, she goes above and beyond, already beginning to train and prepare the puppies for their future homes. She truly sets the standard for responsible and loving breeding. Highly recommend!

    Susie was so great to work with while my wife and I were searching for our first puppy! You can tell that Susie really cares about each and every puppy and does what it takes to make sure they are ready for their forever homes. The process was so easy and Susie did a great job of communicating about the puppy we were interested in. She shared extra pictures and videos to get us excited and was very helpful with getting us started on the purchasing process. When we arrived, Susie had even made us a little makeshift potty box for our little guy, since we had a long road trip home. We highly recommend Susie and any of the puppies that come from a Star is Born Doodles!

    Susie was excellent to work with. She was very informative regarding the puppies and was always willing to answer any questions we had. She was very thorough with raising them and providing us all of the information we needed to make a decision. We could tell our puppy was going to be coming from a very loved and well trained home. She was always willing to send pictures, videos and updates. Highly recommend A Star is Born Doodles if you’re interested.
