Meet the breeder

I'm Brian P., the breeder behind Petersen Bernedoodles located in Lehi, UT. After a lot of research I figured out what genetics I wanted in my dogs. I had no idea I would be flying all over the country in order to bring those home. Aside from these magnificent pups I am excited to be be bringing the ALX4,( gene, blue eyes to potentially any dog regardless of its breed or color, to mix with these already incredible genetics.

Q. & A. with Brian

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I bred animals as a kid and after years of doing what I was supposed to do I’m finally back doing what I want to do.

  • What makes your program special?

    I researched the breeding programs that I admired, asked tons of questions and after I had a clear direction started buying the dogs that would get me there.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.
