About
A Home-Schoolin’, Home-Steadin’ Type of Family
We are a home-schoolin’, home-steadin’ type of family, living happily on 2 acres in the heart of Mesa with our 4 children, 4 horses, 3 goats, 2 dog, 2 lovebirds, 1 cat, and a pear tree. Sorry, no partridge. We are committed to life and living it the best we can. We learn and grow together each day with our children, animals, and plants.
We strive to honor what we have been given by creating goodness and beauty in the world around us. We work hard at it, we struggle, we just keep going. What we have gained along the way is experience in breeding and raising animals. When you keep a lot of animals you gain deep appreciation for quality breeding. Each animal is an investment and we want to make sure the investment is solid.
We are grateful for the opportunity to breed bernedoodles. We have done our best to find top quality dogs for breeding. We hope to bless families with beautiful, intelligent, and healthy canine companions. If you are interested in partnering with us for puppy adoption.
What Makes Us Differeent
What makes us different from other dog breeders is our approach. I love these dogs. I know that other breeders must love their dogs too, but even as I write this, Dusty, our AKC puddle is curled up at my feet sleeping. I have had dogs my whole life. I train horses, and on our small urban farm we try to live a life connected with the things around us.
When our vet came for the puppies first visit shortly after their birth, he was impressed with how healthy they all were. He asked how nursing was going. I told him that it was going great and that I was supplementing with bottle feeding fresh milk from our goat. We talked about what a great resource having a goat is and all the benefits of hand rearing in addition to mom.
It's things like that, having a goat on hand to help a new mom out with 11 puppies. It's having a vet who does house calls. It's having 4 kids that homeschool who can play with puppies all day. It's having a wife who never halfway does anything (that last part is particularly important because I hate to admit it, but I am much better because of her).
I don't know of any other local breeder that puts in the daily effort and love that we do to puppies. I am sure there are, but I know that no puppy that I ever adopted had such a great head start as what we strive to give our puppies. We love them, and we know that you will too.
Our Puppies
Meet Albus
Meet Albus. Albus as in Albus Dumbledore from Harry Potter. My kids decided that Harry Potter should be the theme of the liter. This adorable bernedoodle puppy is one of our smallest puppies, not quite the runt, but a close second. If you want a puppy on the smaller side for standard bernedoodles- this little guy is for you. He is a super sweet and affectionate puppy; he loves interaction and play. His curious and fun loving nature is great and he will never turn down a good snuggle session. Kid...

Meet Hagrid
Hello there! This is Hagrid. I wanted to name him Cow, but as it wasn't part of the Harry Potter theme, we went with Hagrid. This little guy is one of my absolute favorite bernedoodle puppies.
