Q. & A. with LaRaye
Why did you start breeding?
As a child, my dad had a passion for AKC German shepherds. We brought up one litter of year of phenomenal, German shepherd puppies. Seeing them bring so much joy and completeness to families, built-in me a passion for doing it right!What makes your program special?
Child and nature centered : the best puppies come from being around kids and outside with kids! Absolute Quality Health: my spare, no expense in our qualifications, that care and genetic testing! With over 30 years experience, breeding, what we do comes naturally and second nature! We adore our puppies and pray for them to find the right families who need them most!What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include mini, medium, and standard 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 and tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

I would definitely recommend LaRaye to anyone else looking for a Bernedoodle...in fact, I've already given her contact to a couple of people. Rosi is such a lovable puppy. I can tell her newborn days were filled with live & attention. What a great companion for me!!
