FAQ'S
What is the difference between all three of your breeds?
Australian Labradoodles are outgoing, people-loving dogs who thrive in family settings and love being part of every activity, from weekend trips to playtime with kids. Bernedoodles are mellow, affectionate, and easygoing, making them ideal for relaxed households or those looking for a gentle, loving therapy dog. Australian Mountain Doodles are highly intelligent and eager to work, which makes them excellent service dog candidates and a great fit for active homes that enjoy training, and outdoor adventures.
Are Doodles good with kids?
Definitely! Doodles are playful, gentle, and love being around children. They’re very people-focused, eager to please, and form strong bonds with their families. Many grow up to be a child’s best friend, always by their side for fun, comfort, and companionship through every stage of life.
Do Doodles shed? Are they hypoallergenic?
Multigenerational Doodles are known for their low to non-shedding coats and are often a great option for allergy sensitive families. Their soft, wavy fleece coats are not only beautiful but also help reduce dander and loose hair, making them easier to live with for those who typically react to pet allergies. With regular grooming and brushing, their coats stay clean, healthy, and manageable. Many of our families with mild to moderate allergies have found great success with this coat type and often tell us how easy it is to care for compared to other breeds.
Are your dogs genetic tested?
YES, all of our dogs are fully health and genetically tested before breeding! The health and well-being of our puppies, mamas, and papas are our top priority. We want every litter to start with the best foundation possible, which is why we only breed from dogs that meet our high health standards. This helps us raise strong, happy puppies who are set up to live long, healthy lives as beloved family companions.
Where are you located/what if I'm out of state?
We are located in Southern California, but we work with families all across the U.S. We offer hand-delivery through a professional flight nanny service, where your puppy travels in cabin in a carry-on bag and is cared for the entire time. The nanny will personally meet you at your nearest major airport. You’re also welcome to drive or fly in for in person pickup. Delivery fees depend on location and are arranged separately through the nanny service.
Do you sell adult/retired dogs?
Yes, we occasionally have retired breeding dogs looking for loving forever homes. Some of our dogs live with us and are rehomed after retirement so we can make room for future moms and dads in our program. However, most of our breeding dogs are placed in Guardian Homes, where they’re raised in a family household from puppyhood and stay with their guardian families for life — even after retirement.

What’s the process and how can I reserve my spot?
To reserve your spot, simply complete our Puppy Application and place a $500 deposit. This secures your spot on the reservation list for your chosen litter. Puppy selection starts at 6 weeks old, and they go home between 7–8 weeks. For full details, be sure to check out our PUPPY PROCESS page.
What are the grooming requirements for a Doodle?
Doodle puppy coats are easy to maintain however, you should comb frequently to prepare them for when their adult coat comes in, your new puppy will have a life of grooming upkeep ahead of them! It is never too early to get your puppy used to grooming at home while they are young- we recommend you blow dry after every bath to prevent their fur from matting and schedule regular sanitary and face trims throughout their puppy stage. A mature Doodle will require professional grooming once a month (every 4 weeks). Brushing should be done at home at least a few times per week if not more depending on your dog's exact length and coat type. Bathing and blow drying can be done every few weeks or as needed.
How does the puppy picking process work?
Puppy selection is done in the order deposits are received. When the puppies are around 6 weeks old, we’ll contact each family on the reservation list to begin the picking process. Families will choose their puppy based on photos, videos, or an in-person or FaceTime visit.
What colors do your Doodles come in?
We offer a wide range of beautiful colors across our breeds. Our Bernedoodles typically come in classic Black Tricolor, Blue Merle Tri, Parti, Sable, and Bicolor. Australian Mountain Doodles are usually found in Blue Merle Tri and Black Tricolor coats. Our Australian Labradoodles come in rich Chocolate and Caramel shades with patterns like Solid, Tuxedo, and Parti. Many of our puppies also have stunning eye colors — from blue, green, or brown, and sometimes even a stunning mixture of these!
What sizes do you work with?
We mainly focus on Mini/Medium sizes in the 30-50 pound size range. Our dogs are perfect for those who want a perfect mid size companion (not too small and not too large). Big enough to enjoy hikes, walks, and outdoor adventures with you, but small enough to manage easily and take just about anywhere!
What if I need to move my deposit to another litter?
Deposits are non-refundable, but they are fully transferable. We understand that life happens, and sometimes plans change. If you’re not ready or the timing isn’t right, we’re happy to transfer your deposit to a future or different litter until you find the perfect puppy for you and your family.
When are the puppies ready to go home?
Our puppies are ready to go to their forever homes between 7 and 8 weeks of age. By this time, they’ve had plenty of time with their mom and littermates, started early socialization, and are ready to begin bonding with their new families.
Can I meet my puppy?
When the puppies turn 6 weeks old, you’ll have the option to either visit us in person or schedule a FaceTime call to choose your puppy. Pick-up day happens when the puppies are between 7 and 8 weeks old. You're welcome to pick up your puppy in person, or if you're out of state, we can coordinate with a flight nanny to deliver your puppy safely to your nearest airport.
Will my puppy come vet checked?
Yes! All of our puppies are seen by a licensed vet before going home. They’ll receive a full health check and their first round of vaccinations, so you can feel confident your puppy is off to a healthy start!
