I'm Ashley E., the breeder behind Flat Creek Bernedoodles located in Cape Fair, MO. Our dogs are our family. We have 3 and they live and play on 65 acres in Southwest Missouri with a big pond and a nearby creek we frequently visit. They get most of my time and their puppies are raised well socialized with friends and family.
Q. & A. with Ashley
Why did you start breeding?
I bought my father, who is a paraplegic, a Bernese Mountain dog for fathers day after he really expressed wanting one. After that, we both fell in love with the breed. I have always raised dogs growing up with him and found a lot of joy in doing it. I had already had a poodle and just recently got a second poodle. That's where I got started.
What makes your program special?
Raising Bernedoodles, Bernese Mountain Dogs and poodles is my passion. My goal is to breed healthy happy dogs, raise them in a loving home and finding the right new family for them to thrive in. I provide future owners with constant pictures, videos, and updates of their little one as he/she grows.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our Bernedoodle puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Bernedoodle puppies include black and white and phantom. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
