All three of these things are so important
Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) is a process we started doing that introduces mild stresses to very young puppies in a controlled way. These stresses help stimulate the neurological system which improves the growth and development of the pup's immune system, cardiovascular system, and stress tolerance.
Safe socialization happens in a controlled environment with a handful of people in our family.
Desensitization is a behavior modification technique in which you purposely and gradually expose your pet to a stimulus that has triggered a fear response. The stimulus is always controlled, starting at a very low level, so that your pet does not experience fear or display signs of stress.

This is a hard one sometimes to understand at first but once explained people thank us for keeping their new baby safe. If we allow people in our homes to visit the babies they can bring in three puppy illnesses that can kill them. Puppies don't get their first set of shots until around 8 week of age. They are not fully protected till the last shot at 16 weeks of age. Parvo, Giardia and Kennel cough are highly contagious. It can carry in on your shoes. You can walk through a yard, a sidewalk where a sick dog has been and carry it home same with clothing. Parvo can live for months without a host, Giardia 7 weeks and Kennel cough 2 days.
All pups sold in the litters we have made our promise to do the very best we can to protect them for all our new parents and this is the best way we know how.
Over the years we have gotten dogs from others that did not protect them and have fought all three of these illnesses some can be transferred to humans. We don't want anyone else to endure what we went through.
You will receive lots of paperwork on what shots your babies still need when they leave us and hoe you can keep them safe until shots are all done.
Feel free to google this info or call your vet. And we are happy to answer any questions you have.

Bernedoodle Personalities and Temperaments? Fun
So what is the Bernedoodle all about? The short answer is FUN! But let’s explore the two breeds that make up this popular cross more in depth to better understand this goofy, affectionate dog more.
The Bernese Mountain Dog takes its name from the canton of Bern in the central farmlands of Switzerland, where he was bred to work on farms as a helper in various ways, from guarding livestock to pulling carts of farm supplies across the hilly Alpine terrain.
As you can probably tell from his job description, the Bernese Mountain Dog is a large, strong dog with the energy to do physical tasks. As he has transitioned to be more well-known as a family pet in recent decades, he has channeled his hard-working energy into being the happiest, most hilarious companion you’ll ever have.
The Bernese Mountain Dog is known for having a sense of humor; running away with your socks or keys is one of his favorite pastimes. However, you may not find their jokes as terribly funny as they do if you do not enjoy slobbery socks or keys!
Without his farm chores to do, the Bernese Mountain Dog must find other ways to use his powerful body and energy. This breed will happily snuggle with you on the sofa, but he must also be exercised daily, particularly when young. Like any pup.
Bernedoodles Have Gentle and Caring Temperaments
The Berner is known for being a gentle giant— patient with children, affectionate and devoted to his family. He is overall amiable and easygoing. However, this does not mean he is a pushover to train. Unlike the Golden retriever and Labrador, the Bernese Mountain Dog does not have a long therapy and service dog work history.
One of the strongest qualities of the Berner is his affection. He may very well think his 100-pound body can fit perfectly in your lap. He will want to accompany his owners as much as possible, and his loyalty is simply unmatched. The other half of the Bernedoodle is of course, the well-known Poodle. Due to its most unusual hair styling, the Standard Poodle sometimes gets a bad rap for being a “frilly dog.” But what many don’t realize is that the Standard Poodle was originally bred as a retrieving dog (specifically for the water!).
In fact, the sporting clip method of trimming the coat was originally used to facilitate swimming. So Standard Poodles are actually quite athletic, moderately active, and extremely intelligent. Retrieving is a skill that requires dutiful obedience on the part of the dog, and the standard poodle is no exception.
Poodles often excel in obedience competitions and agility exercises. They are also incredibly people-oriented and sensitive. This means they are often easy to train, but they also require a lot of affection to be at their happiest and reach their full potential. In other words, Poodles are not the type of dog that will be content alone in the backyard all day!
To summarize, we interviewed a few owners of Bernedoodles to get some firsthand descriptions of exactly what this breed is like. As predicted, many owners described their Bernedoodles as the ultimate people-lovers and “social butterflies.” The same words repeatedly came up: “goofy, active/energetic, and loving.” They now also come in mini and medium sizes and toy sizes. A mini is considered 24 pounds-50 pounds. Remember a Bernese Mountain Dog is 75-115 pounds so yes this is why a mini is 24-50.

A wonderful personality is what drives the popularity of the mini goldendoodle. Mini goldendoodles have the happy-go-lucky, cheerful personality to match their adorable faces. Their sociable nature and goofy antics make them a favorite for all. They are fun and affectionate and love their people. Mini goldendoodles get along well with children and other pets, and they make terrific family dogs. However, they are typically high energy pets and might become overly excited in a family with small children.
Mini goldendoodles are easy to train as they have the intelligence of two of the smartest dog breeds. According to the Goldendoodle Association of North America, the poodle and the golden retriever both score in the top 4 of smartest dog breeds. Because they tend to be people pleasers, mini goldendoodles take to training easily, and they are often recommended for first time dog owners. In addition to basic obedience training, mini goldendoodles are also good candidates for agility or activities such as dock diving. Their love of games and sense of fun can be used to an advantage during training. They respond well to positive reinforcement and reward-based training methods. Mini goldendoodles also have a lot of energy, and they appreciate having an outlet or a task to focus on.
Because mini goldendoodles are so easy to train, they are often used as service or emotional support animals. The ADA guidelines for service animals state that the animal must be trained to perform a task or tasks to help someone with a disability. These tasks might include retrieving objects for people in wheelchairs, reminding people to take medication, licking a hand to alert a person of an oncoming panic attack, or alerting a person to an oncoming seizure and then keeping them safe. These are all tasks that the smart and careful mini goldendoodle can be trained to perform. Emotional support animals don’t have stringent requirements, and they do not need to be trained to do tasks that help with a disability. The cheerful mini goldendoodle is a perfect size and temperament to offer the comfort needed to do that job well.
