Diamond U Doodles & True Grit Stockdogs

Nicole U.

Breeder of Australian Cattle Dogs and Bernedoodles

Meet the breeder

I'm Nicole U., the breeder behind Diamond U Doodles & True Grit Stockdogs located in Corning, CA. Our puppies are raised in our homes so they learn how to be a member of the family from day one. They get tons of socialization with people, kids, cats, and other dogs. They get weekly baths and nail trims so grooming becomes an early routine.

Q. & A. with Nicole

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I started with one litter and a mentor to help me along the way. We have since added a few more dogs and expanded our home to make it more comfortable for our dogs and a fun place for the puppies to be raised.

  • What makes your program special?

    Every litter is raised completely in our home. We do extensive socialization and spend time educating the puppy parents throughout the whole process. We also offer lifetime support and keep in touch with every puppy family. They all know they can contact us with any questions at anytime. We often have them come back years later to visit us with their adult dogs.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Bernedoodle puppies include mini and medium sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

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

    Bernedoodle puppies include 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 and guardian homes.
