I'm Julie D., the breeder behind Dorsch's Doodles located in Fort Wayne, IN. We raise beautiful, high quality Bernedoodle puppies that have been bred as fun loving, easy to train companions.

Your puppy will be microchipped, dewormed, have its first shots and wellness-check prior to delivery or pickup.
Q. & A. with Julie
Why did you start breeding?
We purchased our male doodle from our brother and sister-in-law 4 years ago and immediately fell in love with him. It wasn't long before we knew he needed the perfect mate so we could give other people the opportunity to have a dog as sweet as Charlie. Our sister-in-law surprised us by breeding our favorite Dam in their program which resulted in the beautiful and very special Josie.What makes your program special?
We have two healthy bernedoodle's that come from a reputable breeder (Houskerville Doodles). They have coached us through this whole process and will continue to offer their support. We have a big back yard, feed high quality kibble and homemade food. Our dogs receive tons of exercise, play, cuddle time and socialization.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are mini size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include tri-color and blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Litter update on 07 Apr. •…When your home feels empty because half of your puppies are gone and you receive these pupdates it makes your heart full. 🩷Either we are lucking out or we have one smart pup. Zero accidents, sleeping in the crate, eating well 😂😆 💙We had a great weekend with him. **** couldn’t stand thinking of him sleeping in a crate at night so they are snuggle buddies. We only have 2 accidents inside. He’s really starting to come out of his shell and play more. Needless to say **** is in love with him. 💙Good morning Julie! Puppy has done so good. No accidents. Tells us when he needs to go out. Even goes to the door! He is the sweetest.

Bernedoodle
About Charlie
Charlie is a four year old "real boy". He can melt you with his deep brown eyes that can tell you exactly what he is thinking. He loves long walks and runs, chasing squirrels, squeeky balls and belly rubs. Charlie is very well behaved and plays good with others, including our 8 month old grandson. Charlie is also a hands-on dad and has been by Josie's side to fuss over both her and the puppies from the moment her labor began. He loves watching the puppies play and can't wait to join in the fun!

Josie, mom
Bernedoodle
About Josie
Josie is a young mom at 1 1/2 years old but is taking on her roll of mother like a champ. We knew she would have a large litter because her mom usually carried 12-15 pups. A large litter can be a little overwhelming but she has help from Charlie and her humans. Josie was the perfect mate for Charlie, it was love at first sight and they rarely leave each others side. Josie is vocal and always tells you when it's time to eat. Even at 44 pound's she is a lap dog and loves being fussed over.

You can really see how much Julie and her husband adore each of their puppies! It made the whole experience truly special. They were so welcoming and friendly, and their passion and knowledge about the breed were absolutely impressive!

Julie was a very knowledgable breeder. We had decided to choose a Bernedoodle and came across Julie on Good Dog. We couldn’t be happier with our new furever friend. Julie was very responsive and detailed with every aspect of her puppies. It was a pleasure to work with her! You won’t be disappointed.
