About Walker
Walker is our beautiful micro Bernedoodle stud and the one and only son of Nash. He inherited so many of the features we love most from his dad, including his short teddy bear nose, stocky build, and adorable compact structure. Walker weighs around 23 pounds and has a very sturdy, compact frame while still keeping that soft, cuddly Bernedoodle look. Personality wise, he is incredibly sweet, gentle, and easygoing with everyone he meets. He has such a calm and loving temperament and truly enjoys being around people. He has passed all of his health testing including OFA hips, a fully cleared genetic panel, and additional health clearances, making him a very exciting addition to our program. One thing we especially love about Walker is that he carries the chocolate gene, which means he has the potential to produce more chocolate puppies in future generations. 🍫🐶

She is incredibly sweet, loving, eager to please, and one of the smartest girls we have raised.

About Gloria
Meet Gloria, one of our beloved ultra Bernedoodle moms from Sticky and Max's litter. Gloria is a stunning blend of 70% Bernese Mountain Dog and 30% Poodle, giving her puppies a higher percentage of Bernese genetics compared to some of our other crosses. This means that her puppies tend to inherit a more solid, stocky build, straighter coats, and the classic bright tan points that are characteristic of the Bernese breed. They also tend to have the gentle, calm, and loyal temperament typical of Bernese Mountain Dogs. Gloria is a joyful and devoted mom, known for her affectionate nature and strong bond with her guardian family. At around 50 pounds, she carries a well-balanced, sturdy frame. When we let her coat grow out, it naturally is straight with a slight wave, giving her a “teddy bear” look. Gloria is in excellent health and flawless testing. She carries a marker for Degenerative Myelopathy (DM). This means that if bred to a male that has a clear genetic panel, her puppies will either be clear or carriers of DM but do not have a chance of being affected by the disease. Both parents have to be carriers for their offspring to have a chance of being affected. Overall, Gloria is an amazing mom, full of love, loyalty, and a striking presence.

Elyzza and her team were very responsive and helpful throughout the whole process, she was always on top of everything and the details and information provided was outstanding.

We couldn't be happier with our experience with Down Home Doodle. From the very beginning, communication was clear, responsive, and professional. The detailed information provided on both our puppy and his parents gave us great confidence throughout the process. Freddie (formerly Bamm Bamm) arrived in excellent health and received a clean bill of health from our local veterinarian. We were also amazed by the foundation he had already been given through the socialization program. He came home essentially crate-trained and nearly potty-trained, which made the transition so much easier. What stands out most is Freddie's temperament. He's a puppy, of course, but he is incredibly smart, trainable, responsive, and loving. We have a 20-month-old son, and he and Freddie have already become best friends. There are many things to consider when choosing a breeder, and Down Home Doodle exceeded our expectations in every area: health, genetics, communication, transportation, follow-up, and temperament. We couldn't recommend them more highly.

Elyzza made the entire process so easy and enjoyable. She helped us choose the perfect puppy based on personality, communicated with us every step of the way, and stayed in touch throughout the entire process. Thanks to her, we found the perfect pup for our family, and we couldn’t be happier with our newest addition. We highly recommend working with Elyzza!

The entire from finding Jackpot, to learning more about him and Down Home Doodle, to Jack arriving at our home was an amazing experience. Down Home stayed in constant contact with us on the process and worked with us to find the best method to transport him to us from Ohio. It was easy to tell he had been well cared for and was a great puppy. We would recommend Down Home Doodle and Good Dog to anyone looking for a new puppy.

We chose to get a Bernedoodle because we love big dogs and we have a son with dog allergies, so needed the hypoallergenic coat. We found Down Home Doodle on GoodDog and it was clear that they offered a great variety of bernedoodles in sizes and coat variations, with a range of prices for every budget. We also had her “delivered” to us and that experience was seamless and communication was clear every step of the way. This was absolutely the most we’ve ever spent on a dog, and it was worth every cent! We decided to get Josephine on a Thursday, and by the following Wednesday she was home! She was about 13 weeks old when we got her, and in that extra time with Elyzza she came to us seemingly fully potty trained, and was comfortable with walking with a leash, socializing with people and dogs, following commands, people touching ears and feet, etc. She also had all vet appointments and vaccinations completed, with exception of rabies. Her beautiful, crazy hair is the perfect compliment to her sweet and playful personality. She is lazy and cuddly with bursts of energy mostly in the morning. She sleeps in her cage all night, only getting up once to go potty. We have 8 and 11 year old sons, but based upon Jo we wouldn’t hesitate to add a Bernedoodle to our home if they were younger. I hope all of this has helped you decide that not only is a Bernedoodle perfect for you, but a Bernedoodle from Down Home Doodle. Their love and attention is truly priceless, and their full list of resources and timely answers to questions made this experience truly special.
