I'm Kassidy C., the breeder behind Puppy by Design located in Bakersfield, CA. I offer top-quality puppies with a focus on health, form, and function. I believe quality is more important than quantity. I provide my puppies with a safe, clean, and enriching environment where they can grow and learn about the world until they are ready to venture out and experience life with their forever families!
Q. & A. with Kassidy
Why did you start breeding?
I have always been passionate about the well-being of animals. I wanted to put my passion to good use! It's been a joyful commitment, and it is a pleasure to live with, work with, and share with others these wonderful dogs.
What makes your program special?
I spend lots of time with my puppies and enjoy training and socializing them so that they will be best prepared for their new lives with their forever families. While I know that not every pup in each litter will grow up to become a service dog, I am confident that each one will become a treasured family member!

Our Sheepadoodle puppies include miniature, medium, and standard sizes. Aussiedoodle puppies are mini size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Sheepadoodle puppies include black and white and black. Aussiedoodle puppies include blue merle, red merle, black phantom, black and white, and black tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

The puppy has turned out to be a really good fit for our family, she’s really fun to have around easy to teach. Our family is really loving her. Cassidy was great to deal with when we got there to pick up the puppy. She had all the proper paperwork and a gift basket. We couldn’t have been happier Leia, is adjusting well, I would recommend you guys to a friend.
