Bernedoodle Bliss

LaDonna T.

Breeder of Bernedoodles

Meet the breeder

I'm LaDonna T., the breeder behind Bernedoodle Bliss located in Searcy, AR. We are a small breeder, and our dogs are first and foremost our pets. We spend all the time needed with our puppies to ensure plenty of socialization, preparing them to be great family companions. We breed for excellent health and sound temperaments. Bernedoodle Bliss specializes in outstanding tri-color & tri merle standard Bernedoodles. We practice ethical breeding protocols and our dogs are completely health tested to ensure we have the healthiest pups possible. My family and I live on 100 beautiful acres with a 3-acre lake and all kinds of walking trails that our dogs enjoy daily.

Q. & A. with LaDonna

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I have always been interested in breeding and with the encouragement of my best friend and husband, I launched my program. I started with thorough research and learned all the steps to be a good and ethical breeder. Breeding is truly my passion! I never get tired of anything dog or puppy related.

  • What makes your program special?

    Besides the daily nutrition and vitamins, I start their pregnancy regiment as soon as they come in heat with fish oil, prenatals, probiotics and more. I’m very proactive with my dogs and that keeps them healthy and happy.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

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

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

    Our puppies are tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
