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.
