Frost is a handsome standard poodle boy in our program, weighing around 65 pounds. He has a sweet, happy, and slightly goofy personality that makes him an instant favorite with everyone he meets.

About Raven
Raven is a wonderful addition to our Bernese Mountain Dog program, bringing in a fresh, well-built lineage with classic breed type. She’s completed all recommended health testing for the breed, including hips, elbows, eyes, patellas, and a full genetic panel, ensuring a solid foundation for her puppies and helping us make thoughtful breeding decisions to continually strengthen our lines. True to her breed, Raven has a calm and affectionate personality. She’s stocky and blocky in build, loves splashing in water, playing with toys, and spending time with kids. She’s also a quiet, gentle companion who doesn’t bark much, just one of the many traits we love in Bernese Mountain Dogs. We’re thrilled to have Raven in our program and can’t wait to see the beautiful, well-rounded puppies she will produce.

Elyzza and her team were wonderful to work with! We did a lot of research for our Bernedoodle baby and were cautious about who we worked with as there are so many scammers out there. Down Home Doodle is the real deal! Our Lucky girl is healthy, well behaved and a wonderful addition to our family ❤️

My experience with purchasing my puppy couldn’t have gone any smoother. Elyzza was very helpful and provided a ton of information throughout the process. During the period between purchase and pick up, Elyzza shared many pictures and videos.

We have been so happy with our experience with Down Home Doodle. We had narrowed down the breeds we were interested in to the ones that had a reputation to be good with kids as we were planning on starting a family. We found Down Home Doodle and they have evidence-based socialization and training programs so that if you want them to be able to deliver a high quality, well-trained, well-behaved puppy, that is exactly what they will and can do, and what they did do with us with Hugo. Hugo has been a great dog, he is almost seven months old and we get so many compliments on how well-behaved he is from family, friends, and neighbors and their pups we see on our walks. He was the only family dog invited to the family Christmas party, if that tells you anything. He has been healthy, and maybe we got lucky with his individual temperament, but he is such a patient, kind dog, and probably the best big furry brother we could have hoped for, for our newborn daughter. He came to us well-trained and eager to learn new tricks, so now in his repertoire he knows sit, place, paw, touch, down (lay down), and we taught him high five, spin, and "hands in" like everyone putting their hands into a huddle (there was a viral challenge not that long ago where people were doing this with their dogs). If we were looking for another Bernedoodle in the future, we would most likely go back to Down Home Doodle for another great dog.

I was scammed by a breeder on Facebook looking for a mini bernedoodle in August 2025. I lost $500 and I am thankful not more. My husbands secretary suggested Good Dog and I reluctantly reached out. I was so impressed when I connectwd with Elyzza. She listened and spent a lot of time earning my trust. She always responded and help us select the perfect puppy! We have had Sloopy for a few months and we are so happy with her! She is great with our big family and all 10 grandchildren. We love when grandchildren call just to try talking to her. Our neighborhood children love her too! She is everything Elyzza shared and is very smart as well. Our local vet gave her a great update on her health. She is a very special family member and cannot imagine her not heing here. We got 14 inches of snow today and she loves that to! Thank you Elyzza for your attention to our needs and connecting us with Sloopy!

Working with Elyssa was great! Her team is very responsive and provided so much helpful information to help the transition of Teddy coming to live with us. We love him so much, and we are so thankful for Elyssa and her team for Teddy. Would certainly recommend Down Home doodle if you’re looking to adopt.
