Meet the breeder

I'm Lindsay S., the breeder behind Veterinarian Raised Bernedoodles located in Prole, IA. As a veterinarian and lifelong dog lover, I breed Bernedoodles with a focus on health, temperament, and family companionship. My passion began with my own Bernedoodle and the joy he brought inspired me to raise healthy, well-socialized puppies that become cherished family members.

Q. & A. with Lindsay

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My passion for breeding began with my own Bernedoodle, who became my heart dog after joining our family when my middle son was just one month old. The love and joy he brought inspired me to help other families experience that same bond. As a veterinarian, I prioritize health, genetics, and responsible breeding to raise healthy, loving companions that become cherished members of their families.

  • What makes your program special?

    As a veterinarian, I prioritize health, temperament, and responsible breeding. My puppies are raised in a loving family environment and come from good-quality parents. Inspired by my own heart-dog Bernedoodle, my goal is to provide families with healthy, well-socialized companions who will bring a lifetime of love and joy.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

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

    Our puppies are tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

“Families are placed on a numbered reservation list, and puppies are chosen in the order of that list. When it is your turn, you will have the opportunity to select from the puppies that are still available. As the puppies grow, I spend time observing each one's personality, confidence, energy level, and temperament. While no one can guarantee a puppy's adult personality, I am happy to share my professional observations and opinions about each puppy's developing temperament and the types of homes they may be best suited for. My goal is to provide honest guidance to help you choose the puppy that is the best fit for your family while respecting each family's place on the reservation list.”

Breeder-Reported Testing

Good level

Veterinarian Raised Bernedoodles reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Bernedoodles.

  • Hip Dysplasia

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • 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.

  • Vet Wellness Exam

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • von Willebrand Disease I (vWD I), 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).
