You want a healthy, even-tempered Bernedoodle that fits your family. You also want proof that the breeder’s program goes beyond pretty photos. That is the tension many buyers feel. The good news is that with Premier Doodles, you can evaluate a program by examining how it addresses genetics, development, and follow-through.
Here is how we approach it at Premier Doodles. We raise every puppy in our home, in earshot of our kitchens and conversations, because daily exposure helps build resilience and confidence. We pair that environment with rigorous health screening and careful mate selection, ensuring that form, function, and temperament remain consistent.
As you read, you will see how method meets care, why procedures matter, and how results show up in uniform coats, steady nerves, and long-term health.
Home-Raised Puppies Create Predictable Temperament
Because puppies spend their first eight weeks next to household movement, they adapt quickly to new homes. Noise, footsteps, visitors, and routine spark curiosity instead of fear. Jessica Krathen put it this way: “The care and attention they pay to raising their puppies is why I will only buy from Chris and Sharon.” Real homes build absolute confidence.
Turning Genetics Into Repeatable Results at Home
From Screening to Daily Practice, Step by Step

Translating science into family-ready dogs requires a repeatable sequence. Here is the practical flow we follow before, during, and after a breeding:
Pre-breeding gatekeeping
● Review three generations of orthopedic and cardiac results.
● Verify DNA panels for both parents against breed-relevant risks.
● Confirm COI targets for the pairing.
Pregnancy and whelping protocols
● Vet-guided nutrition and movement plans for dams.
● Sanitary, temperature-controlled whelping spaces.
● Around-the-clock observation during the first 10 days.
Neonatal to eight weeks
● Early neurological stimulation and scent introduction.
● Daily handling, startle-recovery exercises, and gentle novel-object play.
● Structured crate nap windows and calm exposure to household sounds.
Health and transition checks
● Veterinary exams before going home.
● Individual temperament notes and care instructions for families.
● Lifetime support for training questions and health updates.
For Michaela McGrath and her extended family, this structure delivered four dogs she describes as “amazing” with support “every step of the way.” That is how a process becomes a promise.
What Families Can Do to Carry Genetics Across the Finish Line
Great genetics deserve great routines. Here is a starter checklist for the first ninety days at home:
● Continue feeding consistently for two weeks, then adjust the feeding regimen according to veterinary guidance.
● Protect joint health with controlled exercise on non-slippery surfaces.
● Layer social exposure gradually, pairing new places with high-value rewards.
● Maintain gentle grooming sessions three times a week to keep coats clean and stress levels low.
● Track growth in a notebook so your vet can spot changes early.
When families follow these steps, the Premier Doodles puppy’s early gains in structure and temperament continue to compound.
Client Feedback That Tracks With Long-Term Outcomes
Testimonials consistently echo the same themes. Beata M. shared, “We will be forever grateful for our Pretzel. He is the best dog on the planet, and they are the best breeders I have ever met.” Consistency across unrelated homes signals that genetics and development are aligned, not lucky.
Setting You Up for Success Before You Even Visit
How We Help You Choose the Right Puppy
Selection is a team sport. You know your rhythms and goals. At Premier Doodles, we see the litter dynamics and individual tendencies every day. Together, we examine structure, energy, and resilience to ensure the match suits your household.
Here is how Premier Doodles makes selection simpler and smarter:
Share precise lifestyle details, such as weekday schedules and activity levels.
Request temperament notes on play, recovery, and human interaction.
Review parent testing files to understand strengths and identify areas for improvement.
Plan your first month with crate times, potty locations, and social targets.
Small decisions stack up. With guidance from Premier Doodles, a strong fit in week one becomes a great fit in year one.
Support That Continues After Pickup
We stay available. Families often text the first night, then again during the first veterinary visit, and later as training progresses. That ongoing loop keeps puppies steady and owners confident. As the Krathen family put it, “We trust them so much that we are buying our second Bernedoodle from them.”

FAQs
Do your parent dogs have orthopedic and DNA testing on file?
Yes. We follow published health frameworks and share documentation. Our files include panels for hips, elbows, cardiac, ophthalmic, and breed-relevant DNA testing.
How do you maintain low inbreeding across litters?
We plan each pairing with COI targets and review pedigrees across multiple generations. Scientific reviews link high inbreeding to higher health costs and shorter lifespans.
What size ranges do you produce, and how do they differ?
We produce European F1 and F1b standard Bernedoodles, weighing approximately 65 to 90 pounds, as well as multigen mini lines, which weigh between 35 and 52 pounds. The structure and coat are matched to size, allowing movement to stay efficient and grooming to remain manageable.
How does being home-raised change outcomes?
Constant household exposure builds startle recovery, human focus, and adaptability. Owners routinely report smooth first nights and quick routine adoption. That aligns with our early enrichment and crate-nap rotation across weeks three to eight.
Do you offer lifetime support after pickup?
Yes. We remain available for the lifetime of your dog and maintain community groups, allowing families to share updates and ask questions. Ongoing contact facilitates minor training tweaks early on.
