Why did you start breeding?
Our Australian Shepherds are beyond smart and we wanted to share their genetics with a poodle. The Bernese Mountain Dogs are extremely laid back and mellow which is why we started breeding Bernedoodles.What makes your program special?

Our Aussiedoodle puppies are standard size. Bernedoodle puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Aussiedoodle puppies include red merle, black phantom, black tri-color, red phantom, and red tri-color. Bernedoodle puppies include tri-color and blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Verified owner · Mar. 2026
Emma was a great communicator throughout the process from answering all of our questions and providing documentation on parents to her weekly email updates on how the litter was doing. We felt like we were still a part of the first eight weeks! Emma is also very knowledgeable and experienced with the breed and with raising puppies. We have had a wonderful first week getting Murphy (litter name: Maverick) adjusted to his new home and family. We have been impressed with his start on potty training and crate training which we continue work with him on as well as new commands! He is a very well adjusted and even tempered puppy, and we look forward to many years with him!
