Early Findings
The American Kennel Club (AKC)
posted a list of what to look for in a responsible dog breeder. Although it is not specific to bernedoodles, most of the items related to visiting the breeder and interacting with the both the breeder and the dogs. Based on that, we focused on breeders located within a 6-hour drive of New York City.
The criteria to look for in a
responsible breeder
include: clean, odor-free premises; happy, engaged, friendly dogs; no signs of illness such as runny eyes, coughing, or sores; dogs that interact with the breeder; in depth knowledge of the breed, including strengths and weaknesses; the ability to meet at least one parent of the puppies; not allowing the puppy to leave until it is 8-12 weeks old; and possibly having the person adopting the dog sign a contract indicating the breeder can take the dog back if it isn't properly cared for.
The Dog's Journal published a list of the
best bernedoodle breeders
around the world and included Alpine Bernedoodles in Colorado, Best Bernedoodle Breeders in South Carolina (but with a network in Pennsylvania as well), Rocky Mountain Bernedoodles in Colorado, Recherche Bernese in North Carolina, and Glasshouse Puppies in Alabama.
