Q. & A. with Shannon
Why did you start breeding?
Growing up as a child, I was always around animals. Whether it was cattle horses or dogs. I was fortunate enough to be raised around many different breeds. When I became an adult and decided I wanted to follow in my parents' footsteps, I chose to take that responsibility seriously. I've always been a fan of the Bernese Mountain Dog, to me they are the perfect dog. A family dog and that's exactly what I wanted to focus on. I am truly blessed to be able to raise these amazing dogs.What makes your program special?
We take great pride in giving our puppies the best start possible by making sure they are well socialized, cared for and loved.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our Bernedoodle puppies include mini and medium sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
