Since 2014, River Doodles was one of the first breeders in California to breed Bernedoodles!
In addition to the health testing listed below, we also test each dog for a panel of breed specific genetic diseases. Please click on the Paw Print medallion to view thegenetic test report that will be included in each puppy folder. Some dogs may have fewer tests completed because they were cleared for a specific disease through parentage.
Striving to make our Bernedoodles not only loving, home-raised companions, we make health and longevity a top priority. Therefore, after researching pedigrees and generations of health tested parents, we have imported our Bernese Mountain Dog girls from Europe as the foundation for our bernedoodles! Our first couple of girls, Tisza and Zala, came from a breeder of international champions in Hungary in 2014. Since then, we have imported many more of these beautiful girls! This breeder not only produces sought after champions, his dogs have long life spans, unlike the American Bernese which average 6-8 years of age! These thriving European girls combined with the great qualities and longer life span of a poodle make the Bernedoodles a family member that will be with you for many wonderful years to come. The excellent temperament and health qualities of River Doodles European Old World Bernedoodles® will be hard to match anywhere else!
River Doodles has been recognized by Dog-Learn.com as a recommended breeder! As quoted by Dog-Learn.com–
“We only issue this recognition to breeders who set themselves apart by possessing a level of knowledge, experience, and commitment that goes beyond most breeders. Quality breeders not only produce healthy offspring, but make sure the original spirit of the breed is preserved and reflected across future generations. This requires a level of experience and commitment that goes beyond most breeders and deserves recognition for their contribution to the canine world.”
