About Kovu
Kovu is a striking 26-pound multigenerational Bernedoodle, thoughtfully bred right here at Down Home Doodle. His mom, Ruby, was one of our most loved mamas, known for producing incredibly sweet, people-oriented puppies that were highly sought after.

He has her gentle, affectionate personality along with an incredibly soft, wavy coat and beautiful appearance. We have also been extremely impressed with Kovu’s health testing results so far. He has passed all of his age-appropriate health testing, and we will continue completing additional evaluations as he reaches the appropriate ages.

Elyzza was very responsive and easy to work with. It is clear that she loves her puppies and wants them to find their right match and forever home. Our puppy came home with the sweetest personality, and has been beyond incredible with our children who love to pick him up, hug him, and play with him. He is really our new best friend and we are grateful that Elyzza made the process smooth.

Elyzza and Emily were very responsive to our many questions. We made the final decision over the weekend and Bella (Picante)was ready and waiting for us on Tuesday morning. They followed up with us a few times to check on her and have been quick to answer follow up questions. We are definitely enjoying having a new fur baby.

Don’t hesitate to get your puppy from Down Home Doodle! (DHD) - 100% recommend!!! Elyzza and her team worked with me to insure I got the perfect puppy for my family and lifestyle. Blue (previously known as Silver) is just amazing - smart, happy, funny and an attention grabber! DHD is a professional and personable organization, with a rigorous breeding program. The result is puppies who are beautiful, healthy, and have an amazing temperament. Add to that, great socialization and you get the best companion… ever! Blue arrived with treats, food, a blankie, and tons of great information about Bernedoodles, training, and a promise to help if we needed it. Found through Gooddog, the whole process from search, to selection, to purchase was stress free, no worries about scams or quality. Thank you Elyzza, Blue is sending you lots of puppy kisses and I am thanking you from the bottom of my heart

Elyzza and Samantha were incredible to work with. They were available all hours of the day, were incredibly organized and provided a Google Drive with all of the files and documents for our new puppy, and when we brought him home and had some health stuff develop (nothing to do with them) they were incredible to partner with and in constant communication and care for our little guy. I took a long time to find a breeder that was serious about raising healthy puppies and that would support us after we brought home our newest family member especially because we are first time puppy owners. They have truly exceeded my expectations. If you want a breeder that goes above and beyond to partner with you, support you through the process, I'd highly recommend Down Home Doodles!
