BERNEDOODLE BREEDER — BEND, OR
Bernedoodle Puppies for Bend, Oregon
We are central Oregon’s premier breeder for Bernedoodle and Goldendoodle puppies for Bend families — see our Bend goldendoodle page if you're weighing your options. And we've long thought the bernedoodle is an equally natural fit for Central Oregon life. The unhurried pace of a Saturday morning at the Old Mill District, an afternoon on the Deschutes River Trail, a weekend on the trails around Tumalo Falls — these are exactly the kinds of days a bernedoodle was made for.
High Desert Family Doodles is located in Madras, just one hour north of Bend on Highway 97. We are the closest quality doodle breeder to the Bend area, and the only one in Oregon holding both a GANA Gold Level and a Good Dog certification while raising puppies on the Puppy Culture and BadAss Breeder curriculum.

Why a bernedoodle is right for Bend
Bernedoodles blend the Bernese Mountain Dog's hardy, loyal nature with the poodle's intelligence and low-shedding coat. The Bernese side was literally bred for mountain life and long days outdoors alongside people — which means Bend's climate, trails, and lifestyle are a genuine fit. All of our bernedoodle parents pass OFA hip, elbow, patella, cardiac, and eye clearances plus full genetic panels to the standards of GANA and Good Dog. See our parent dogs and health clearances. Mini, medium, and standard bernedoodles available, all with a two-year written health guarantee.
How We Raise Our Puppies for Bend
Our puppies are born inside our home in Madras and stay there through eight weeks. Early Neurological Stimulation begins in the first days, and we follow the Puppy Culture and BadAss Breeder curriculum throughout. Our goal is a bernedoodle who is confident and well-adjusted — ready for whatever Bend life looks like for your family.
Getting your puppy to Bend
At just an hour up Highway 97, Madras is the most accessible pickup for any Bend family. Many families come to us directly and enjoy seeing where their puppy was raised. We can also meet at Roberts Field (RDM) for an even shorter trip, or fly your puppy to Bend Municipal Airport (BDN). Nearby Central Oregon families may also want to see our upcoming Redmond bernedoodle page. When you're ready, apply for a puppy here.
