Meet the breeder

I'm Annette, the breeder behind MI Doodles located in Marne, MI. We’re dedicated to maintaining responsible breeding practices and do our best to make sure our pups get excellent care. Puppies receive Early Neurological Stimulation, socialization, daily outdoor play time, and started on training at a young age. We want to be the best choice for your next puppy.

Q. & A. with Annette

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I grew up raising various farm animals and my love for puppies began at a young age. When our boys were little we knew we wanted a dog and the love for our first Goldendoodle seemed to naturally develop into us starting to breed.
  • What makes your program special?

    We price puppies so they will find their furever families quickly. We want you to get an amazing puppy at an affordable price. We strongly believe puppies will do better if they go to their furever home early on and receive one-on-one attention, care, and training rather than be overpriced, waiting months for their new family.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Bernedoodle puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Bernese Mountain Dog puppies are black rust and white. Bernedoodle puppies are tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

    Annette is a wonderful Breeder! She was always very responsive answering all of our questions and kept us up to date on how Dottie was growing and adapting, almost on a daily basis. You can tell she cares dearly for each pupper she is raising, getting her dogs ready for each of their new perspective homes (she hew how to sit on command day 1 😎). If you are looking for a Bernese Mountain dog or Bernadoodle puppy, I highly recommend checking out Annette’s available litters.

    Annette was so great to work with! Provided lots of updates while we waited to take home our puppy including adorable photos! Pick up was very organized with online scheduling and she provided all the needed info at pickup and some extra goodies for our pup. We love our new addition to the family - thanks Annette!

    Annette was so supportive, knowledge and flexible during the adoption process. She is by far the best deal in Bernadoodles and I am still amazed how well trained our puppy was at only 8 weeks old. 💚

    Annette was great! We had such a positive experience. She was so communicative and answered all our questions. When Millie came home, I was impressed with how well behaved she was and I attribute that to Annette's training from day one.

    Working with Annette was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. She was always responsive, knowledgeable, and so patient in answering all of my questions. It was obvious how much she genuinely cares for her dogs and puppies. She stayed in touch throughout the entire process, sending weekly updates and pictures, which made bringing Bex home even more exciting. Good Dog also made everything seamless and secure, from the initial connection to payment and pickup arrangements. I am so thankful I found Annette, and I couldn’t be happier with Bex — she is the sweetest puppy and such a perfect addition to our family!

    I literally have no words for how AMAZING Annette has been through this entire process. I’ve always been under the adopt/don’t shop mindset, but for my service dog and SDC therapy dog I needed a reliable breed with a low prey drive (I work with littles). Our new baby boy is all that I could ever ask for and more! We were shopping around for the right fit for breeders and Annette won us over with her attention to detail, kindness, and openness about her program. Our little boy came home potty trained (which is a miracle in itself), and attention motivated, which goes to show how much care Annette and her family have given to our little one. He loves to snuggle and follow us around! He came home healthy and well fed with the biggest paws I’ve seen on a little guy! Annette was so sweet she sent home a care package including vet documents, kibble, pumpkin and probiotics. She also sent along a blankie with his litter mates scent on it, and we use that over the kennel and he has been sleeping like an absolute baby! Annette has checked in on us every step of the way, and gave us pupdates and photos as he grew. The video call in the beginning where she showed us the available babies was so helpful in picking out the pup for us, and omg her setup is amazing!!! She has a whole baby room for these little guys complete with puppy toys and it’s so clean and comfortable and you just know these babies are so well taken care of with her. I couldn’t recommend a better mama for these little ones! Nova, Annette are the best pup moms you can find! If we ever wanted another pup or if a friend/relative wanted one, we wouldn’t have ANY reservations about recommending Annette. 10/10, 5 out of 5 stars, best team ever. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, MI Doodles!!!
