Dixie’s Darling Doodles

Dawn C.

Breeder of Bernedoodles

Meet the breeder

I'm Dawn C., the breeder behind Dixie’s Darling Doodles located in Broadway, NC. Our breeding dogs are loved and spoiled in our home. The pups share my craft room with me. They are handled often. I home school 3 teenagers and the kids usually have a puppy in hand during video lessons. Our goal is to provide every family with their dream pup. Our previous pups have been very affectionate, smart, and loving. Each personality is different but I haven’t had any complaints! I do my best to keep up with past litters. We love seeing the pups all grown up!

Q. & A. with Dawn

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My parents raised labs and I loved the entire experience. I wanted to get back to my roots and help families find their perfect pup.

  • What makes your program special?

    This is a family business. My husband and three teenagers are a very active part of the responsibilities of having breeding dogs and litters. Our daughter loves to cuddle the newborn pups and starting them with ENS. My boys help with cleanup, feeding, and playtime as they get older. At the end of each night, my husband plays with a couple different puppies. I do all of the above and love it all!

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

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

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

    Our puppies include black and white, tri-color, and phantom. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
