Meet the breeder

I'm Kija K., the breeder behind Brookside Bernedoodles located in Murrieta, CA.

Q. & A. with Kija

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I have been helping raise puppies since I was a little girl. I became a shih tzu breeder in early 2000’s but then having a family caused me to take a break. My family and I now are very passionate about breeding amazing doodles. It has become a family affair.
  • What makes your program special?

    At Brookside Doodles we focus on the dogs first. All our parents dogs are family members. Either with us or in a guardian home. None of our dogs are kenneled and live outside. We genetically health test our dogs to ensure they are healthy before breeding. All puppies are raised in our home surrounded by family.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our Bernedoodle puppies include mini, medium, and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Bernedoodle puppies include red, tri-color, phantom, and blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

    Kija is an amazing breeder. From our very first phone conversation, she took the time to ask what kind of furry friend we were looking for, as well as about our lifestyle and routine. Along the way, she patiently helped us select the best fit for our family. She never rushed us or was pushy, and she gave us plenty of opportunities to change our minds or wait for another litter. Once we selected our puppy, she sent us biweekly photos and videos so we could see how he was growing. There wasn’t a single question she didn’t answer. By the way, Kija’s communication skills are outstanding—she responds within 10 minutes! Beyond that, she is incredibly knowledgeable about the breed and the world of dogs in general. I highly recommend working with Kija. You will feel fully involved and guided throughout the selection process. Kate

    Kija was so great to work with - super responsive, made sure all the details were taken care of, and (most importantly) our puppy clearly got the absolute best start to her life! She's super social and smart and is just an absolute love in every way. Absolutely an amazing experience all around and our newest family member is the best!
