Q. & A. with Kathleen

  • Why did you start breeding?

    As a mom of six and lifelong dog lover, I fell in love with Bernedoodles for their wonderful family-friendly temperament. I started breeding to raise healthy, well-socialized puppies in a loving home environment.
  • 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 tri-color and merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
