Our Story

Dogs have always been a part of our family’s story. Shortly after my husband and I were married, we welcomed our first dog—a spirited Boxer—into our lives. Over the years, we loved and raised a variety of breeds: Schnauzers, Shih Tzus, and eventually our beloved French Mastiff.

In December of 2015, my life changed forever when my husband passed away. In the midst of my grief, I found myself searching for a new purpose. While on a trip to Colorado, I spotted a Bernedoodle puppy—and something in my heart immediately knew this was the direction I needed to go. After researching the breed, I realized a Bernedoodle was exactly what was missing from my life.

The first moment I laid eyes on King Louie, it was love at first sight. ❤️ Within just a few days of bringing him home, my future became clear: I wanted to share the joy of Bernedoodles with others. I quickly found our second puppy, a sweet little girl we named Tiger Lily.

What can I say about this incredible breed? Bernedoodles are true "velcro dogs"—loyal, loving companions who thrive by your side. They’re just as happy curled up at your feet as they are exploring the outdoors on an adventure.

Since then, we’ve also welcomed Anastasia, a beautiful purebred Bernese Mountain Dog, into our family and breeding program. She is playful, quirky, and endlessly loyal—the perfect addition to any family. She then gave us our equally as quirk, but oh so lovable girl, Sprout 🌱 

Along this journey, I discovered both Puppy Culture and Badass Breeder curriculum. They are amazing programs that teaches breeders how to open early lines of communication with puppies. This early work not only lays the foundation for deep, lasting bonds between our puppies and their forever families, it improves their lifelong health.

We are a small, boutique breeder, proudly raising just 2-5 litters each year. Every puppy receives Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), Early Scent Introduction (ESI), and most importantly, is loved beyond measure. We welcome families to visit, meet the puppies, and see firsthand the care and love that goes into raising them in our very home.
