BERNEDOODLE BREEDER — SAN DIEGO, CA
Bernedoodle Puppies for San Diego & Southern California
San Diego is one of those cities that makes a dog's life genuinely wonderful — the weather, the beaches, the neighborhoods like North Park and South Park where dogs are practically part of the community, the dog beach at Ocean Beach, the trails through Torrey Pines. A bernedoodle is a natural fit for that world.
High Desert Family Doodles is based in Madras, Oregon. We are the only bernedoodle breeder on the West Coast with both a GANA Gold Level and a Good Dog certification, raising every puppy in our home on the Puppy Culture and BadAss Breeder curriculum. We fly bernedoodle puppies into San Diego International Airport (SAN). We also serve LA families — see our Los Angeles bernedoodle page and Los Angeles goldendoodle page for families further north.

What makes a bernedoodle right for San Diego
Bernedoodles blend the Bernese Mountain Dog's loyal, warm temperament with the poodle's intelligence and low-shedding coat. 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. Read about our parent dogs and health testing here. We breed mini, medium, and standard bernedoodles, all with a two-year written health guarantee.
How We Raise Our Puppies for San Diego
Our puppies are born inside our home in Madras and live there through their first eight weeks. Early Neurological Stimulation begins in the first days of life, and we follow the Puppy Culture and BadAss Breeder curriculum as they grow — building confidence, curiosity, and the social ease that makes a dog a joy to bring into San Diego's active, people-rich environment. That w9ll help contribute to your bernedoodle puppy becoming a beautiful and radiant dog that everyone will love.
