I'm Tonya C., the breeder behind Old Ranch Bernedoodles located in Sinton, TX. We're small, in-home breeders that believe in raising healthy, happy puppies. Our dogs are our family members first and foremost. Our dogs are health tested and bred to produce healthy, well-socialized puppies. To give our puppies the best start in life, we do Early Neurological Stimulation and Early Scent Introduction. Puppies then move forward into a curriculum that works on problem solving, socialization, and early potty and crate training. We would be honored to connect you with your next beloved pup!
Q. & A. with Tonya
Why did you start breeding?
A close friend, who raises a few litters a year, gave me the idea to start my program. He has seen/evaluated my dog and thinks she is breeding quality. She is sound structurally, has an excellent temperament, and has been cleared both by my vet and genetically!
What makes your program special?
I am specifically looking to raise quality pups from a loving home. I have researched Poodle genetics and spoken with my mentor to make sound breeding decisions. I utilized an out-of-state stud (via AI) so that I could pair two healthy, genetically compatible dogs. I am very dedicated to what I do and what I aim to achieve as a breeder. I work with passion, heart, and integrity, and I truly want what's best for the Bernedoodle line!
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are medium size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include tri-color and phantom. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
