About the Breeds

A Couple Notes

Genetics control parts of nearly everything from looks, shedding levels to personalities in a pup so we can not guarantee anything when it comes to temperament just based on the breed name. Training is also something that is a huge factor when it comes to the personality and overall temperament in a dog. We feel early socialization and consistent behavioral training with clear expectations given to the pup will shape your dog sometimes more than genetics.

The Poodle
Originating from Germany, the Poodle is a well established breed and known for intelligence, a dense, curly coat, little to no shedding and while no dog is 100% hypoallergenic, the Poodle comes close!

They are affectionate, energetic, friendly, extremely trainable and generally do well with children.

Bernedoodles
Bernedoodles are a mix of a Poodle and a Bernese Mountain Dog.

From the farmlands of Switzerland, the workhorse Bernese Mountain Dog’s temperament is usually gentle, loyal, placid, affectionate, social, sweet-natured and eager to please. They shed and drool quite a bit and do not live very long lives.

Blending the two breeds makes an incredibly well-rounded, low to no shedding dog that usually lives around 12-18 years. They appreciate their playtime as a way to work their jiggles out. They are affectionate and fun all at the same time.

Goldendoodle

Goldendoodles are a mix of Poodle and Golden Retriever.
The Golden Retriever hails from Scottland and is one of the most popular breeds in the US today. Their loyalty, playfulness, intelligence and friendliness with children make them perfect family pets.

Blending the two breeds makes an adorable and unstoppable combination of looks, intelligence and playfulness. They come with varying sizes, coat types and colors, so there’s a good chance you’ll fall in love with one of them. Goldendoodles make nearly the ultimate family dog due to their extremely social personality and friendliness.

SheepaDoodle

SheepaDoodles are a mix of Poodle and Old English Sheepdog.
The Old English Sheepdog sports an adorable messy hairdo, a sociable, loving and bubbly personality, all while maintaining their muscular physique from a herding heritage in England.

Blending the two breeds makes an incredibly friendly, relatively calm and gentle companion. They share similar low shedding and hypoallergenic qualities that their other Doodle companions share, but they win the ‘fluff factor’ with thick coats that the Sheepdog is so well known for. Also similar to other Doodle breeds, they are wonderful family pets and could sit by your side all day if left to their own devices.

AussieDoodle

AussieDoodles are a mix of Poodle and Australian Shepherd.
Australian Shepherds are athletic, energetic, extremely intelligent and eager to please. Descending from European herding dogs around the Pyrenees Mountains. Those dogs then made their way to Australia by way of the indigenous Basque peoples who crossbred them with border collies to make them ninja level herders. Eventually they made their way to California and the Western US and lived up to their ninja legends.

Blending these two breeds is something special. Aussies are hyper intelligent, and may even be able to play chess if given enough training. Extremely friendly, playful, and devoted to their families. You’ll often find them ‘herding the children’ if a young one wonders to far out in the yard. They love to play toss and catch and anything else that will get their brain and legs going.

When can we meet the puppy?
You’ll get a chance to meet the pups in person on Pick Day, around 6 weeks and then on Adoption Day when you take her home!

We do weekly litter updates via YouTube/Instagram/etc where we will weigh, inspect and give you a chance to see the pups well before the 6 week mark. As they grow older we’ll get to see how their unique personalities will start to develop and we’ll be able to help describe those traits during those updates as well.

We want to make every effort to make sure you’re as comfortable with your pick as possible. If that means multiple emails, phone calls, Zoom calls, whatever, we’re willing to schedule and plan that communication out as we know that adopting a new pup is a big commitment!

Where are you located?

Cambridge, MN, 30 minutes or so north of Minneapolis/St.Paul

Do you fly puppies?
We could meet you at the airport, otherwise, we use Traveler’s Care as a “Flight Nanny” you could utilize.

What kind of socialization training do your puppies get?
