Draco is a Multi-generation Bernedoodle who has been genetically tested. He is 49.7% Bernese Mountain Dog 36.2% Small Poodle and 14.1% Standard Poodle. His genetics are FF Ee BB KYKY ATAT SS Mm and ++ for curl. His red intensity is 8 out of 10 and gorgeous. He carries 1 copy IVDD. Embark predicts him at 64 pounds. That is high considering the amount of small poodle and going by size comparison with previous litters. 50-60 is my prediction. He is a sweet boy with a wavy coat and deep copper points. He has blue eyes marbled with brown like his Daddy.

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.

Susie cares so much for her puppies! We adopted a wonderful dog who was well on her way in training before we brought her home.
