Meet the breeder

I'm Brittany K., the breeder behind Hillcastle Breeders located in Columbia, IL. Family-raised F1B Bernedoodles on 12+ acres in Columbia, IL. Our dogs are loved family members, and puppies are raised inside our home with daily socialization, vet checks, vaccinations, deworming, a health guarantee, and lifetime breeder support.

Q. & A. with Brittany

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I have always loved dogs and small children. I was looking for a hobby to share with my children that would bring us together as a family and also be educational. Plus who doesn't love puppies!

  • What makes your program special?

    Our puppies are raised inside our home as part of our family—not in kennels. With over 12 acres to explore, they receive daily socialization, lots of love, veterinary health checks, vaccinations, deworming, a written health guarantee, and lifetime breeder support. We focus on producing healthy, well-adjusted companions with exceptional temperaments.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include white, grey and white, and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Brittany

Brittany has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

Brittany partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 6 weeks old.

“Our goal is to match each puppy with the family that best fits their personality, activity level, and lifestyle. While we consider color, markings, and gender preferences, temperament and compatibility are our highest priorities. Puppies are reserved in the order deposits are received. Families select their puppy once temperament evaluations have been completed (typically around 6 weeks of age). Selection order is based on the order deposits are received. We provide guidance and recommendations to help each family choose the puppy that best matches their home and lifestyle. If the right match is not available in the current litter, buyers may transfer their deposit to a future litter. Our commitment is to place every puppy in a loving home where they will thrive for a lifetime.”

Puppy prices include a $300 non-refundable deposit that secures a specific puppy. The remaining $1,200 - $2,200 is due before pickup, plus applicable taxes and fees.

    Brittany was the perfect person to work with for us to find our pup! She responds very quickly and is super flexible. We were not local so she let us do a video call to make sure our girl would be a good fit! When we picked her up, we got all shot records, free food, and a free collar and leash. Brittany is very passionate about what she does and really cares about finding the puppies their forever homes! We had a perfect review at the vet and Millie (Heidi) has the best temperament. I highly suggest getting your fur baby from Brittany!!!
