Why Bernedoodles? 

The general public highly recognizes the Bernedoodle as a breed, but the American Kennel Club (AKC) does not. Some Bernedoodle breeders want recognition for their dogs, making this a controversial subject.  Our concern with AKC registration is that kennel clubs strictly prohibits purebred dogs from ever mating outside their breed. This leads directly to inbreeding. As with any species, inbreeding results in a much higher risk of faulty genes passing to offspring.

​We govern our program by focusing on producing healthy and ethically raised dogs. After all, humans are responsible for inherently designing dog breeds through selective breeding. Cross breeding to achieve "hybrid vigor" is not a new conception. Many breeding programs from plants to livestock utilize this methodology.  
​
Introducing diversity into our curriculum and not rigidly follow a preset standard is of chief importance. We frequently inject our lines with European imports, therefore adding different traits and vigor into our breeding program. This is a primary ingredient in our recipe for healthy, calm, and beautiful hybrids!  

Parent Health Screening

​Before consideration for our program, all potential breeding dogs undergo health checks. We utilize the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) or Vet Diagnostics (Dr. Wallace) for certification of hips and elbows. Paw Prints Genetics has become an integral part of our program and is an invaluable resource. Through their testing, we can eliminate carriers for diseases and bad genes inherent in particular breeds. We order a complete panel screening through Paw Print Genetics for any dog, purebred or hybrid breed that includes, but are not limited to:
​
  • Von Willebrand's Disease (vWD)
  • Progressive retinal atrophy (PRA)
  • Progressive rod-cone degeneration (PRCD)
  • Degenerative Myelopathy (DM)

Breeders must be vigilant with hybrids as they can be carriers from both sides of their lineage and the panel testing eliminates those susceptible to disorders common to both breeds. We highly recommend you visit the Paw Prints Genetics website to learn more about the different testing they perform within their panels and encourage you to work with breeders who employ the same methodology within their practice.


Tricolor Bernedoodle

Including Rocky Mountain Bernedoodles, there is only a small, distinguished circle of Bernedoodle breeders who have achieved the highly coveted Bernese tricolor results. All invest substantially in their breeding program. It is not a simple pairing, and much cultivation and learning go into each puppy produced. Artificial insemination is the preferred method of conception, and there are risks and difficulties as with all commodities powered by nature. For these reasons, there is typically a waiting list, and you pay a premium price for your puppy. Generally speaking, though, the initial investment will save you in veterinarian bills down the road.  ​

Our Bernedoodle Philosphy

Rocky Mountain Bernedoodles represents dogs that we feel offer the best in health and temperament. We have a passion for each variety and guarded criteria to guarantee a happy and healthy family companion. The look of each puppy differs, however, our preference is unique, one-of-a-kind dogs. We breed for health and temperament over specific appearance, but we can typically guarantee an adorable outcome!
