Litter update on 11 Mar. •…Meet our adorable litter of mini Bernedoodle puppies—these little cuddle bugs are as sweet as they are cute! They come in a beautiful variety of colors, including traditional black tri, yellow and white, and blue merle parti. Both males and females are available. These pups will mature to around 20–30 lbs and will have wavy, non-shedding coats—perfect for snuggles! Their parents, Mia (a mini Bernedoodle) and Hollywood (a mini Poodle), are fantastic dogs with wonderful temperaments. They’re super friendly, easy to train, and make amazing companions. The puppies are being raised with the Puppy Culture program, which includes early handling and training to help them grow into well-adjusted, loving family pets. Each puppy has had a full vet exam, is microchipped, and has received intestinal deworming, as well as flea and heartworm prevention. When your puppy goes home, you’ll receive a special take-home packet, which includes a free first month of pet insurance, a toy, puppy training resources, and a bag of their current food. Plus, they come with a one-year health guarantee against genetic diseases for extra peace of mind. These little ones will be ready for their new homes on April 26, 2025! Delivery is available to the SF Bay Area and Sacramento, and additional transport options can be arranged. Let us know if one of these sweet pups might be the perfect addition to your family!

Stumbled on the Starlight post and what a great find. Carley responded immediately to our inquiry, answered a good many questions 2 seniors had about taking on a puppy at our age, set up a convenient time to meet with her and THE PUPPY! 2 weeks with our new housemate and we are thrilled. Carley provided us with a quality, intelligent, and delightful new friend.

Working with Carley was a wonderful experience! As someone who has owned several poodles, I knew exactly what I was looking for—especially when it came to health and temperament. Carley was incredibly responsive and answered all my questions thoroughly. In talking with her, it’s clear how much love and care she Hhas for her pets and the puppies she breeds. I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to her again when I’m ready to welcome another furry family member into my home!

Without any hesitation I would turn to Starlight Goodendoodles again! As a matter of fact, two clients have taken her contact info to be able to inquire about future litters - upon the strength of my recommendation. The Breeder, Carey was always prompt in her response to my myriad of questions - which I appreciated immensely. The puppy is well socialized, super healthy & adorable (!) We left the property with a well thought out 'go home' bag (treats, food, towel, toys ) and a thorough list of all shots, etc. up until the date of departure from the litter. Impressive, indeed.

+4We couldn’t be happier with our new pup from Carley. He’s been a dream pup since he’s been with us, a testament to how well Carley cared for them since birth. Carley was very informative and answered all our questions as 1st time dog parents. Would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for some sweet pups to add to their home. Thanks again, we love our little fluff ball so much.

+5By far the greatest experience I have had! Carley is such a wonderful human! I’m so glad I was able to find her and get my little Tiramisu! He is the goofiest boy and such a good pup. She is great with communication as well and gave me plenty of information to take care of my new pup the best I can. He came with a goodie bag and one month of free insurance. He loves his blankie so much~ He’s made my senior husky more happy 😊 So happy for my newest family member ❤️ I love him so much.
