I'm Kristie B., the breeder behind Banner Bernedoodles located in Nacogdoches, TX. We are dedicated to achieving excellence and healthy family pets, and we love to raise puppies and prepare them for their forever homes. Both parents are health and genetic tested and meet superior standards. Our puppies receive excellent oversight and care from the moment they are born first and foremost by their amazing momma who has the best maternal and nurturing instincts. We also follow protocol for early neurological stimulation, as well as exposing them to all the sights and sounds of home to acclimate them to be ready to come to your home! Our goal is to raise the best family pet to add to your home!
Q. & A. with Kristie
Why did you start breeding?
We began breeding in 2021. When we realized we had such an amazing dog with excellent temperament, obedience, and so smart, we made the decision to breed her. She is the best mom with so much intuition and that made it an easy decision to continue breeding her. She really does all the work!!
What makes your program special?
These puppies are born in our home in a space that is in the center of our home. They are an intimate part of our family from the moment they are delivered. Although they may not be fully potty trained (they are puppies after all) when they go to their forever home they have already been trained significantly in potty training habits for a good start!
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are medium size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, 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.
