    We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Shelby and Derrick! They were so helpful in answering any questions we had, and we could tell that their pups are truly loved and cared for by them as well as their kiddos! Olive has done so well since bringing her home, especially with potty training and crate training! Thank you to Shelby and Derrick for getting her started with these things before she came home. She is the sweetest pup, has such a fun personality, and has fit into our family perfectly. Shelby and Derrick made the whole process easy and enjoyable, and we really appreciated how communicative they were along the way. If you are looking for a Bernedoodle, I highly recommend Shelby and Derrick! We are so thankful we found them and absolutely love our sweet Olive!
