Our Family

We're a family who loves dogs and has always had dogs. First a couple of Great Danes and then Stella, a beautiful, loyal, affectionate AKC registered Bernese Mountain Dog who had our hearts the first time we saw her. She makes up for her petite stature (after you’ve had a 200+ pound Great Dane, a 55-pound Bernese seems small!) with her oversized love and attachment to us. She sleeps in our room at night; follows us from room-to-room throughout the house during the day; rests beneath the table while we eat; and never wants to be far from her people.

We occasionally and selectively breed Stella with an AKC registered standard Poodle, and the puppies are adorable!  They range from medium to standard size,  50-70 pounds. More than that, they get Stella’s beautiful markings and calm disposition paired with the Poodle’s hypoallergenic coat, intelligence, and desire to please. And these limited edition litters are just as gorgeous as they age! (Check out our photo gallery of some of Stella’s prior pups as as they’ve grown.)

We understand the importance of owning a family pet.  We have three boys, and our dogs are part of our family.  Our desire is to provide healthy, loving, family pets from our family to yours. 

We live in upstate South Carolina in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Stella (and her pups) are family-raised in our home and are acclimated to children, strangers, other animals, and all the other joyful chaos to be found around a busy, growing family.

We don’t have puppies often, but when we do, they are something special. If you’re interested in a smart, loving, loyal, home-raised Bernedoodle, send us a message. We’d love to connect with you and see if we can share one with you.
