I'm Crystal M., the breeder behind Oswegatchie Doodles located in Heuvelton, NY. At Oswegatchie Doodles we are dedicated to raising happy, healthy Bernedoodles. Our puppies are lovingly raised in our home, where they are socialized daily and nurtured as part of our family from the very beginning.

Q. & A. with Crystal
Why did you start breeding?
I was born and raised in a family where my mother bred champion, German shepherds and Cocker spaniels. It has always brought me a lot of joy to nurture puppies and bring joy to other families.
What makes your program special?
My breeding program is special because my dogs are my family. The puppies are raised in my living room as part of our family. They are not in a barn and my female is in my home, not a guardian home. I breed for temperament and health.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include mini and medium sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and white, tri-color, phantom, and blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
