Meet The Mamas
Welcome to the heart and soul of our home: the marvelous mamas of our Goldendoodle and Bernedoodle crew! These fabulous ladies are more than just mothers; they're the queens of cuddles and the geniuses behind our joyful, fluffy puppies.
Expected Summer 2024
Leila of La Foret Noir, “Leila”
Leila is an AKC Bernese Mountain Dog
She is a very large female with the typical goofy and loving Berner personality. She doesn’t realize how big she is and we often find her leaning on our legs or sitting on our feet. She is the sweetest dog and looks at us with such longing eyes — one of them being blue. She often gives us her paw when she wants some attention. She is very eager to please. She has been a good “aunty” to our previous litters and has produced her own beautiful puppies. We are breeding her for Bernedoodles. Her genetic testing is clear through Embark and Paw Print Genetics, and her OFA’s for hips, elbows, knees and heart are all good. Leila stands 27” at the withers and weighs 105 lbs.
Expected Summer 2024
Princess Buttercup
Buttercup is a F1b Goldendoodle
Buttercup is an F1b Goldendoodle. She is tall and lean and on the smaller standard size. She has a beautiful, soft and wavy cream colored coat with white markings. She is extremely agile. She jumps our lower fences with ease and speed to chase after squirrels or to play keep away from the other dogs. It’s quite funny to watch. She can’t give enough kisses. She sleeps up against Tracy every night! She’s also been a great “aunty” to our previous puppy litters. We look forward to her future breeding. Buttercup has been genetically cleared through Embark and her OFA’s for hips, elbows, knees and heart are good. Buttercup stands 24” at the withers and weighs 44 lbs.
Up and Coming
Emilia
Emilia is a F1 Bernedoodle
Oh my goodness! This F1 Bernedoodle is just the best! She was born December 2022 from a Leila litter. We kept her for future breeding. She has quickly captured our hearts. She has such a sweet and loving temperament. She is large like her mama with a looser tri-color coat. She also looks at us with such longing eyes. She is a snuggly girl, too. Our son, Andrew, chose her from the moment she was born. She was known as the pink collared girl. They have a special relationship. She has been genetically cleared through Embark and will be tested for hips, elbows, knees and heart in the future when she is old enough. Emilia stands 26” at the withers.
Retired
Piper
Piper is an F1b Goldendoodle
She has a soft, light apricot coat with white markings. She is a smaller standard size. She LOVES to chase a ball as long as we’ll throw it for her, which can sometimes be a very long time! She has a sweet and attentive temperament. She loves her treats and lets us know when she wants one. She is the most vocal of our dog family. She wants to be close to us and enjoys snuggling with her humans. She is quite expressive and often tilts her head when we talk to her, a trait she has passed on to some of her puppies. She has been a loving and devoted mama to her puppies and she has created beautiful ones, too! Piper is now retired and she will take on the role of coaching our other mamas with their future litters. Piper stands 21” at the withers and weighs 52 lbs.
Retired Sire
Jackson
Jackson is a AKC Standard Poodle
He is a sire with a loving temperament that charms all who meet him. His warm greeting, often adorned with a "smile," has endeared him to many. He is now neutered - while our initial intention was to continue breeding him, we found managing an intact male alongside our females to be quite challenging. Nonetheless, he has left his mark by siring numerous beautiful puppies for us and another local family.
In Memory of Callie
The matriarch of our dog family
She was a multi-generational Goldendoodle. She was a larger standard size with a curly coat. She was very tuned-in to her human family. When our kids were getting upset, she was right there to calm them down. She instinctively knew when something was wrong. She was also protective when she sensed danger. She loved to chase balls whether a soccer ball being kicked around by the kids or a tennis ball thrown over and over again in the yard. She even tried to steal ping pong balls during play! She loved to snuggle with us and get a good belly rub. She was a wonderful mama to her many puppies. We all loved her immensely and she will forever hold a special place in our hearts.
