Our Mission Statement

At Cub Creek Poodles & Doodles we are dedicated to a meaningful mission rooted in our love for dogs and our commitment to responsible breeding practices. We have chosen to focus on two exceptional breeds: Poodles and Bernese Mountain Dogs. Each breed offers unique qualities that make them beloved companions, inspiring us to blend their best traits through the creation of Bernedoodles.

Why Poodles and Bernese Mountain Dogs?

Poodles are renowned for their intelligence, versatility, and low-shedding coats, making them ideal for families and individuals, particularly those with allergies or those living in apartment settings. Their amiable demeanor and eagerness to please make them exceptional family pets and versatile companions, excelling in various roles from therapy dogs to agility competitors. On the other hand, Bernese Mountain Dogs are cherished for their gentle nature, loyalty, and beauty. Known for being loving, protective family members, these dogs thrive on companionship and create strong bonds with their humans. Their calm temperament and affectionate spirit contribute to their role as devoted family pets, providing both comfort and joy.

The Birth of Bernedoodles

Our decision to combine these two extraordinary breeds into Bernedoodles stems from our desire to harness the best qualities of both the Poodle and the Bernese Mountain Dog. By blending the intelligence and hypoallergenic benefits of the Poodle with the friendly and nurturing nature of the Bernese Mountain Dog, we create a hybrid that embodies the elegance, loyalty, and adaptability needed in today’s urban living environments. Bernedoodles are ideal for apartment dwellers and families alike. Their low-shedding coats make them suitable for allergy sufferers and minimize shedding concerns, while their friendly disposition ensures they integrate seamlessly into family dynamics. With manageable exercise needs, these dogs thrive on companionship and emotional connection, making them perfect for individuals and families searching for a steadfast and loving companion.

Commitment to Health Testing

At Cub Creek Poodles and Doodles we take health testing seriously to ensure that we are producing top-notch pets and healthy companions. We understand that the foundation of a great breeding program is rooted in the health and well-being of our dogs. Therefore, we implement stringent health testing protocols, including:

- Genetic Testing: We conduct comprehensive genetic screenings for both parent breeds, focusing on hereditary conditions common to Poodles and Bernese Mountain Dogs. This proactive approach allows us to identify potential health issues early, ensuring we are breeding only those dogs that have tested clear of genetically inherited diseases.

- Health Clearances: We obtain official health clearances from veterinarians for critical conditions such as hip and elbow dysplasia, eye disorders, and heart issues. These clearances provide assurance that our breeding dogs meet high health standards.

- Ongoing Care: Our commitment to health doesn’t stop at testing. We prioritize the ongoing health and wellness of our dogs through regular veterinary check-ups, balanced nutrition, and socialization practices. We believe that a holistic approach to care will contribute to the lifelong health of each pup we produce.

- Educating Buyers: We also feel it is vital to educate our puppy buyers about health considerations and responsible dog ownership. By equipping them with knowledge about nutrition, exercise, and preventive care, we aim to foster lasting relationships that benefit our dogs and their new families.

By placing a strong emphasis on health testing and ethical breeding practices, we strive to produce Bernedoodles that not only embody the best traits of their parent breeds but are also healthy and thriving companions for years to come.
