Hillside Farm
Meet the breeder
I'm Kristen B., the breeder behind Hillside Farm located in Buna, TX. Bordoodles & Bernedoodles are an incredible breed. They are SUPER dogs, this cross really compliments both breeds. I feel so lucky to spend my days surrounded by these wonderful dogs who are my family and being able to share them with others. All of our dogs are raised for health & temperament.
Q. & A. with Kristen
Why did you start breeding?
I have worked in many AKC/UKC kennels and have always enjoyed being around the breeders and helping raise the puppies. I decided to breed whenever I owned a Border Collie and loved the traits that both Border Collie and Poodle carried.What makes your program special?
My dogs being family raised, we spend quality time with them, we feel like we can pair the dogs to create a wonderful line of the breed with excellent temperaments and a level amount of energy to provide wonderful life long companions & family pets.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our Bordoodle puppies include mini and standard sizes. Poodle puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
