Meet the breeder

I'm Kelli H., the breeder behind Doodles on Rock Creek located in Pittsburg, IL. Our dogs are bred with health as the primary focus! Our dogs are raised at home, inside our home, not a kennel. We provide ESI and ENS and BAB into our curriculum.

Q. & A. with Kelli

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We have raised dogs all of our lives. My husband and I bred German shephards 10 years ago and I decided I wanted to make some amazing bernedoodle family pets, using DNA, OFA, Penn hip tools to help make wise decisions in pairings.
  • What makes your program special?

    All of our puppies are welped in our home. They are part of our family, until they go to yours!
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

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

    Our puppies include red, brown, chocolate merle, brown and white, black and white, tri-color, phantom, blue merle, and merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
