Breeder of Bernedoodles

Meet the breeder

I'm Lori B., the breeder behind Ruthy’s Doodles located in Murrayville, IL. We raise elite, health-tested Bernedoodles known for beauty, balance, and intelligence. Each puppy is thoughtfully bred, hand-raised in our home, and socialized for confidence. Our families value our integrity, genetic excellence, and concierge-level support.

Q. & A. with Lori

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I began breeding because I wanted to share the gift of my beloved Ruthy—a smart, gentle, well-mannered Bernedoodle who embodies everything I love in the breed. Her loving nature inspired me to create a program that produces puppies with the same calm temperament, intelligence, and joyful spirit.

  • What makes your program special?

    My breeding program is centered on love, science, and quality. Each pairing is carefully planned through genetic testing and health clearances to ensure exceptional puppies. Raised in my home, they receive constant socialization, early enrichment, and one-on-one care—resulting in confident, healthy, family-ready companions.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
