Q. & A. with WhiskeyCreek

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I grew up in a rural farming community. Raising animals has been a large part of my entire life. I began breeding the Bernese Mt. Dog in 2000, working on improving their poor health genetics through selective breeding and increasing the lifespan in our bloodlines. The Bernedoodle was also added into our program 10 yrs. ago with emphasis on improving the poodle side of them as well.

  • What makes your program special?

    We were one of the first to offer Bernedoodles in the United States. We have 25 years of bloodline improvements in our Bernedoodles, our customers have been very happy with the results of our pups with their health and temperaments. We get many repeat customers and referrals which we are very grateful for!

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies include mini, medium, and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

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

    Our puppies include sable, black, black and white, tri-color, and merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

    We brought home our full-size Bernedoodle, Kuma (formerly Banjo), from WhiskeyCreek Doodles from a litter born in December 2024, and I’ve been meaning to write this review ever since. Kuma is, without question, the best dog I’ve ever had. From the beginning, he was so easy to potty train and quickly settled into our home. He has the sweetest temperament with our children, gets along with every dog he meets, and somehow always knows exactly when someone needs a cuddle. He’s affectionate, gentle, and such a loyal companion. He can be a little timid around new people at first, but it’s only because he takes his job of protecting his family seriously. Once he warms up, his loving personality shines through completely. Another pleasant surprise has been how easy Kuma has been when it comes to grooming. He sits patiently while being brushed and cared for, which makes grooming sessions low stress. His coat is easier to manage than expected, and his hair dries surprisingly fast after baths — something we’ve definitely appreciated! This was actually my first time purchasing a puppy without meeting the breeder or parent dogs in person beforehand, so it definitely felt like a leap of faith. But WhiskeyCreek Doodles made the entire experience feel comfortable and personal from start to finish. They consistently shared videos, updates, and little stories about the puppies, which made us feel connected long before pickup day. They even met us in Minneapolis with Kuma, which made the drive so much easier for our family. More than anything, you can truly tell they care deeply about their dogs and the homes they go to. We couldn’t love Kuma more, and we’re so grateful to WhiskeyCreek Doodles for bringing him into our lives. ❤️

    We had a wonderful experience working with this breeder. We picked up our puppy on Christmas Eve as a surprise for our kids, and everything went smoothly. The breeder was extremely responsive, easy to work with, and followed through on everything exactly as promised. Communication was clear and timely throughout the process, which made the experience stress-free and exciting. The only downside was unrelated to the breeder—it was the unexpected and fairly large fees charged by the platform used for payment/communication. That said, this was not the breeder’s fault at all, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a responsible and reliable breeder. We love our little Gizmo and are so excited that he's part of our family ❤️

    Really happy with WhiskeyCreek from WhiskeyCreek Doodles! They were friendly, quick to reply, and clearly care a ton about their pups. Got regular updates on my little guy and the whole thing was so easy. 10/10 experience!

    Thank you for your assistance with telling me about your puppies and your breeding experiences. Mookie is now 10 months old and a very sweet buddy. We spend our days together, running errands and going on walks. She likes to be near where ever I am. Thank you for my sweet Mookie.
