I'm the breeder behind Bernedoodles by Zee and Jewel located in Bellevue, IA. We have Bernese Mountain Dogs on our farm right on the Mississippi River.
We only have 1-2 litters a year so this gives us more time to spend with puppies.
All our dogs have health testing and hips and elbows X-rayed and certified to insure healthy well socialized puppies. With lots of grandchildren they have plenty of “play time” as well.
We hope to provide the perfect puppy for your family!
Q. & A. with Sheila
Why did you start breeding?
I had a cousin who’s son wanted a Bernedoodle… and so began this wonderful adventure!
What makes your program special?
I am fortunate to live on a farm and children are grown so I can devote time to my dogs and puppies..I only do 1 or 2 litters a year so no puppy mill here.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Bernedoodle puppies are medium size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Bernedoodle puppies are tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
