I'm Stephanie S., the breeder behind Beaver Creek Bernedoodles located in Brighton, TN. We’re committed to producing happy, healthy, well adjusted puppies and placing them in homes where they become "family".
Q. & A. with Stephanie
Why did you start breeding?
We had a pair of Collies when the boys were young and raised 3 wonderful litters of Collie pups (who doesn't love Lassie?). The experience was so much fun and so educational for the boys. I knew then when I retired and had more free time, I would dabble into raising pups again! I am now transitioning into retirement (working 3 days a week instead of 5), and doing all the things I love!
What makes your program special?
We are a small in home breeder whose mission is to raise happy, healthy, and well adjusted puppies and place them in homes where they become "family". Our main focus is to enable families to enjoy this wonderful breed at an affordable price. Although our price is well below the average, you still receive the same benefits offered by other breeders charging more.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include sable, black, black and white, and tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

PRA, Rod-Cone Degeneration (PRA-prcd), DNA Disease Panel, Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A), von Willebrand Disease I (vWD I)
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
