Meet the breeder

I'm Sara W., the breeder behind Switch Canyon Doodles located in Hines, OR. At Switch Canyon Doodles we breed quality goldendoodles and bernadoodles with and emphasis on health, temperament and and overall happy and calm family member. We perform Early Scent Introduction (ESI). The goal is to stimulate the puppy's developing olfactory system to improve their future scent ability, confidence, and adaptability in new environments. This process can help dogs perform better in scent-based roles and shows the best results when done during a puppy's critical developmental window. We also do Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) aims to improve puppies' physiological development and increase their stress tolerance, leading to better performance, greater resistance to disease, and improved problem-solving abilities later in life. My heart and soul goes into every aspect of these pups for the short 8 weeks that I have them. I'm continually learning how to make my program better and produce a better pup and family member for you. I am full of gratitude for my family for putting up with my passion for this. I am grateful for the mothers we produce, they are the true MVP's. Most importantly I am grateful for the families and friendships I have made along the way. I couldn't do this if you didn't come along and share my love for these amazing puppies. Thank you!

Q. & A. with Sara

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Millie was our first female goldendoodle. I've had many friends and other breeders that have been kind enough to share their knowledge. I try and glean from everyone around me to be better every day!

  • What makes your program special?

    We raise our pups in our home. Handled all day every day (in between naps). They are exposed to farm animals, car rides, water, ENS, ESI, kids and many other things! They are well loved and people driven.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our Goldendoodle puppies include miniature and medium sizes. Bernedoodle puppies are medium size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Goldendoodle puppies include apricot, red, and parti. Bernedoodle puppies include black and white, tri-color, blue merle, and merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

    We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Sara at Switch Canyon Doodles. She was amazing with communication and always happy to answer my many questions. Getting frequent pictures and videos of Rooster made us feel so connected before bringing her home. Sara even kept her a couple extra weeks so we could surprise our kids on Christmas morning, which meant so much to us. She truly cares about her puppies and the families they go to. I would recommend Sara without hesitation

    We had an excellent experience with Sara. She was helpful and supportive of our 1st time puppy questions. Chester came to us well adjusted. He has been eager to meet people and other dogs. He isn’t bothered by different sounds. He loves to be outside in nature. Sara did a fantastic job setting him and us up for success!

    Sara answered me right away and gave valuable info on my puppy, Sydney. We could tell right away that this puppy was brought up in a loving & nurturing environment. She & her husband worked with us for a meeting place. We couldn’t be happier with our fluffy bundle of joy!

    Sara was great to work with. She quickly responded to all my questions and made the process easy. Our little Bella is a calm, happy puppy and it's obvious Sara and her family did a great job creating a supportive learning environment from birth. We are all very happy!
