I'm Natalia, the breeder behind Tahoe Doodles located in Truckee, CA. We are a family program dedicated to providing our dogs with the best life possible. We absolutely love our dogs! We take them on long hikes and give them hours of belly rubs. We utilize Puppy Culture in our program and spend a great deal of time socializing our puppies to adjust to an enriching home setting. We love making connections with our buyers and helping them find the dog of their dreams!
As a responsible Dog Breeder, we carefully screen all applicants to make sure our puppies go to committed homes where they are treated as members of the family. It gives us so much joy to see our clients falling in love with their new fur babies, and our hearts sing knowing our puppies are living their best lives.

Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1B), Bernese Mountain Dog Type
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
