I'm Toni K., the breeder behind Big Sky Bernedoodles and Poodles located in Yellowstone County, MT. We are a small, in-home family program located in the gorgeous state of Montana.
We raise our puppies, using early neurological stimulation, which introduces them to many different experiences during the first few weeks of their lives. Several of our puppies have gone on to become trained service/therapy dogs.
My program is built with love from the ground up. I care deeply about responsible breeding, and I do everything I can to ensure my dogs and puppies are getting the best care in every aspect of their lives with me. All of my puppies are bred, raised, and loved indoors to produce happy, healthy pets who are great companions for individuals and families alike.
Adventures start here!
