I'm Mette H., the breeder behind Bluff Country Bernedoodles located in Decorah, IA. All our puppies are born and raised in our home, and they receive lots of attention throughout the day. They come from health-tested parents, and they are bred for strong health and good temperament. In addition, we complete early socialization activities to help our puppies become calm and confident adults. We receive consistent positive feedback from our puppy families who often come back for a second puppy.
