What to Look for in a Bernedoodle or Goldendoodle Breeder

A good doodle breeder will:

• Raise puppies in the family home, not in kennels or garages.
• Keep adult dogs as part of the family.
• Socialize and handle puppies every day from birth until they go home.
• Stand behind every puppy with a lifetime genetic health guarantee.
• Start potty training and crate conditioning before go-home day.
• Personality test each puppy to match the right one to your lifestyle. See how our puppy matching works.

Puppies are most vulnerable and impressionable during their time with the breeder, and those early weeks can make or break a puppy. To be sure you’re getting the best puppy you can find, ask questions. A good Bernedoodle or Goldendoodle breeder will be happy to talk with you about the good and the bad of their breed, and DNA test results along with hip and elbow clearances should be available for you to review.

Grooming Is a Big Part of Owning a Doodle

Their coats need regular care so they don’t get matted, either by the owner or by a groomer about every 6 weeks. Some doodles can get very hot, so they shouldn’t be left outside in the hot summer months. Doodles aren’t for everyone! They love to be with people and want to please them. If you’re looking for a dog that doesn’t want much to do with you, you’re definitely looking at the wrong breed!
