Meet the breeder

I'm Jonas L., the breeder behind Gentle Giant Bernedoodles located in Spencerville, IN. Who We Are We are a family of 5 committed to raising exceptional puppies, and fall in love with each one! Impressed with their temperament and relationship with humans, our journey began in 2014, when we imported our first Bernese Mountain Dog from Ukraine. Since then, we’ve carefully incorporated champion bloodlines from Hungary and Russia to preserve the breed’s original build, temperament, and striking appearance. Our goal is to produce healthy, low-shedding, well-tempered Bernedoodles suited for family life, service work, and therapy. We take the extra steps to ensure our pups are well-adjusted to a home environment before joining their new families.
