From our hearts to your Heart Dog
About our Program
We are a boutique breeding program, hand-raising only one litter of puppies at a time and only having a small number of litters per year to be able to provide our families with exceptional puppies. Here at Buttery Bernedoodles, all our dogs are raised in home, as loving family companions first and foremost. We hand-select each and every dog for our program based on healthy bloodlines, personality traits that we desire as family companions and their beautiful coloring.

All our dogs have had extensive genetic testing complete, as well as had appropriate joint conformation testing, heart, eyes, thyroid and more to ensure we pass on the best we can to our puppies. On top of that, we take as natural and holistic an approach as possible when raising puppies. We let our dogs tell us when it is the right time for them to have puppies, we honor our Moms and will ensure they are content in their role, we utilize the best reproductive veterinary specialists to ensure Mom is healthy enough to have puppies and we trust in the process of nature. The holistic approach goes even further as I am a wellness consultant for a holistic doctor and have used my knowledge in my own dogs first and foremost. To prevent future allergies I ensure my dogs have healthy microbiomes, are free from parasites/bacteria, take proper preventative veterinary care (yet not over-vaccinate) and eat a well-balanced diet at all times. We don't use any harsh chemicals in the house from fragrances to cleaning products and have studied countless medical journals on how to increase the life expectancy of dogs.
At present, we specialize in mini/medium multigenerational Bernedoodles.
A multigenerational bernedoodle is a bernedoodle paired with another bernedoodle generation after generation. This is how purebred breeds were initially created, by choosing the best and most desirable traits to be passed down to future progeny. Simply put, each puppy will take one gene from their Mom and one gene from their Dad. Scientists have already mapped out genes for furnishings (the floofiness the doodle is known for), shedding, color traits and health traits. When you know exactly what each of the parents' genes contain, you can specifically match the Mom and Dad together therefore can more accurately estimate the health, size, colors and temperaments that the litter will produce. This ensures a level of consistency and quality that I believe is not currently present in the F1 (first generation) bernedoodle puppies. Each litter that we bring into the world will have a specific purpose and I will endeavor to have our families understand exactly why that match was made and what we hope to expect in their puppies. In order to continue to improve our program and our puppies, we would love it if our families shared with us about their dog so we can continue to learn and improve.
The reason we specialize in the medium and mini size is multifactorial. At the end of the day, smaller dogs tend to live longer and have less joint and arthritic issues later in life. In today’s economy, it is incredibly hard for singles, newlyweds or even families to own a house with a large backyard. While we would love that for any of our puppies, we also want to ensure those living in cities or in apartments will be able to have dogs and that their lives will be equally happy. Minis and mediums are that perfect balance of active and lazy to be able to thrive in any environment.
