I'm Rachelle K., the breeder behind Foggy Mountain Berners and Doodles located in Ceres, VA. I breed to contribute to the preservation of the BMD. I breed with a focus on overall health with an attempt to pass on genetics that will contribute to longer lived and healthier BMD. I want my puppies to be wonderful family companions and bring lots of love and joy into their forever homes! The adorable Bernedoodle was added to our program because they have the added longevity of the Standard Poodle and of course the curly coat!
