🐾🤎 We are incredibly proud of Betty! 🤎🐾

What a special thing it is to see one of our puppies grow up and find such a meaningful purpose.

Betty was Winifred from our 2025 F1B litter, and today she is an 1 year old F1B Saint Berdoodle working as a comfort dog at Hanson-Runsvold Funeral Home in Fargo.

Her story was recently featured in The Forum, and we couldn’t be more excited to see the impact she is having on families walking through some of the hardest moments of their lives. 🥹

We are incredibly grateful to have played even a small part in Betty’s story. While her family, handlers, and everyone who has worked with and loved her deserve so much credit for the wonderful dog she has become, it is incredibly rewarding for us to see a puppy we raised go on to do something so special.

It is also so neat to see funeral homes recognizing the comfort and peace that a dog can bring to grieving families. ❤️ There is something incredibly special about having a gentle, loving dog beside you during a difficult moment.

We truly hope we continue to see more funeral homes welcoming comfort dogs and making them available to families. What a beautiful service to be able to offer.

This is also such a wonderful reminder of why temperament matters so much in what we do. Our goal isn’t simply to raise beautiful puppies — it’s to raise well-rounded, stable, loving dogs who can go on to thrive in the lives and roles that are right for them.

Happy 1st Birthday to Betty/Winifred and all of her littermates! 🎂🐾 Aug 15th "smidge late" 🤪

From our 2025 F1B litter to a comfort dog helping families through grief… what an incredible journey. 🤎

We are so proud of you, Betty. 🥹🐾

Thank you to The Forum for sharing Betty’s story and to Hanson-Runsvold Funeral Home for giving her the opportunity to make such a meaningful difference.

❤️ How Our Reservation List Works

We do not place puppies based on deposit order. While being on the reservation list gives your family priority, actual puppy matching takes place after our temperament evaluations. We complete temperament testing at both 7 weeks and 12 weeks of age to ensure each puppy is matched with the family that best fits their lifestyle, goals, and needs.

If you’d like to learn more about getting on the reservation list, I’d absolutely love to walk you through our process and answer any questions you may have.

A little more about our program 💛
• Puppies stay with us until around 14 weeks old to allow for more development, socialization, confidence building, and training foundations before going home.
• We complete temperament evaluations at both 7 and 12 weeks and match puppies based on temperament, lifestyle, and overall fit — not just looks alone.
• Puppies are started on potty training, crate exposure, leash work, grooming desensitization, handling exercises, and daily novelty/socialization.
• They go home microchipped, with age-appropriate vaccines completed which is full core vaccines and rabies, vet checked, and with a strong health guarantee.
• We focus heavily on producing well-structured, loving, family-oriented dogs with stable temperaments and excellent companionship qualities.
• We also remain lifelong support for our puppy families and always want families to feel comfortable reaching out with questions at any stage of their dog’s life.

All of our puppies are the same $ regardless of gender, color, or markings. We don’t charge more for certain colors because I never want families matching a puppy based on looks alone. My goal is always to match each puppy to the family they’re the best fit for based on temperament, personality, and lifestyle.

At this time, we are intentionally keeping both reservation lists smaller until pregnancies are confirmed and we have a better idea of litter sizes. Once pregnancies are confirmed, we can evaluate whether additional reservation spots will be opened.

As always, health, structure, temperament, and proper coat quality remain our top priorities, with beautiful colors and markings simply being a bonus. ❤️🐾

Current Availability

* Havana & Rally F1: 1 spots available
* Zaida & Rally F1B 1 spots available

We are so excited to finally introduce our newest boy!

Badland Iron Brigade, call name “Briggs” 🤎

We picked Briggs up during the second week of July while we were taking puppies to their new homes. He is calm, sweet, eager to please, stout, and incredibly smart—and he’s going to be a big boy!

We hope to add Briggs to our program as a future stud once he completes and passes all of his OFA health testing. He has already passed his genetic testing with flying colors!

His structure and temperament are absolutely on point, and we cannot wait to watch this handsome boy grow! 🐾

Welcome to our family sweet Briggs! 💕

Some “gotcha day” photos—a little late! 🤦🏼‍♀️ Between moving, cars breaking down, a nasty cold running through the whole family, and everything in between, it’s been an eventful 45 days. 😂

We are truly blessed with the most incredible puppies and families! We can’t thank each family enough for putting their trust in us. It’s something we never take lightly. Seeing our puppies loved and thriving with their families makes every crazy moment worth it. ❤️

Miles. Memories. Forever Homes. ❤️🐾

It’s been a busy week on the road as we’ve traveled thousands of miles delivering our puppies to their forever families all across the United States.

One thing we’ve always been proud of is how well our puppies travel. From stretching out for naps, chewing on their favorite treats, getting lots of cuddles, and stopping for potty, water, and meal breaks, they truly travel in comfort and luxury every step of the way. Honestly, to say they enjoy car rides is an understatement! They settle right in, make themselves at home, and are such easy travelers.

We put a lot of thought into every delivery because getting our puppies to their families safely and comfortably is just as important to us as raising them. We plan frequent breaks, keep them on their normal feeding schedule, make sure they stay hydrated, and give them plenty of love and attention along the way. By the time they arrive, they’re happy, relaxed, and ready to meet the families who have been counting down the days to bring them home.

There really isn’t a better feeling than watching each puppy meet their forever family. It’s emotional every single time, and we’re so thankful for every family who has trusted us with one of our babies. Thank you for loving them as much as we do. ❤️

Wyatt’s Big Park Adventure! 🐾❤️

Yesterday was a big milestone for Wyatt—his very first time safely on the ground at a public park! 🌳

After receiving his vaccinations and with careful planning, it was the perfect opportunity to continue building his confidence through positive, real-world experiences.

This handsome boy absolutely impressed me!

✨ Walked like a champ on a leash for the very first time.
✨ Followed beautifully with the leash dragging behind him.
✨ Came every time he was called.
✨ Sat on command.
✨ Loved his kibble bites as rewards… although I almost accidentally rewarded him with one of my Tums instead! 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

He was exposed to trains rolling by, cars driving past, kids running and yelling, crows making all kinds of noise, and plenty of new sights, sounds, and smells. Through it all, Wyatt stayed engaged, kept checking in with me, and chose to focus on his handler. That’s exactly what we hope to see—confidence, resilience, and a puppy who learns that paying attention to their person is rewarding.

These outings aren’t just about obedience—they’re about helping puppies develop the confidence and stability they’ll carry with them for the rest of their lives.

In just a few short weeks, Wyatt will be heading home to his incredible family in Oklahoma. ❤️ He’ll be joining a wonderful home with a sweet 4-year-old Saint Berdoodle named Pony, a house rabbit, and a whole lot of love. Even more exciting, Wyatt has a very special job waiting for him, and I can’t wait to watch him grow into the dog he was meant to be. They will be keeping his name Wyatt ❤️

We’re so proud of you, Wyatt. Your future is incredibly bright! 🐾❤️ Raising you has been such a joy!!

As we complete our second round of temperament testing and compile all of our notes on each puppy from the past 12 weeks—carefully comparing their personalities, confidence, drives, energy levels, trainability, and individual traits—we’re so excited to begin sharing where each puppy’s journey is leading.

As each puppy is matched with the family and purpose they were meant for, we’ll be introducing them one by one so you can follow along and be a part of their stories, just as so many of you have been doing since before they were even born. Thank you for following along, watching them grow, and cheering them on every step of the way. ❤️🐾

We’ll be sharing each puppy’s match after all of our families have been officially matched this weekend, but we couldn’t wait to share one very special announcement…

First, we’d like to introduce our keeper boy!

His name will be staying Cash. 🤎

For us to keep a puppy, he has to check a lot of boxes—not only for our breeding program, but for our family as well. Health, structure, temperament, confidence, trainability, personality, and genetics all play an important role in that decision.

Cash has already exceeded our expectations. He passed his genetic testing with flying colors, coming back clear across the board. His color genetics, coat traits, and Saint Bernard-to-Standard Poodle genetic percentage are exactly what we had hoped and prayed for.

Pending his age-appropriate health testing and final clearances, Cash will become part of the multi-generational Saint Berdoodle lines we are carefully building for the future.

We couldn’t be more excited to watch this special boy grow, and we can’t wait to share his journey with all of you. ❤️🐾

❤️ A Puppy With a Purpose. ❤️

Every puppy has the potential to make a difference, but every once in a while, we get to witness a story that reminds us why we are so passionate about raising these incredible dogs.

This handsome boy, Phoenix, is from Zaida & August’s 2024 litter. From our home, he went on to receive professional service dog training through Loyal Companions, LLC under the incredible training and guidance of Mike Ratliff, before being matched with an amazing young woman named Annabelle.

Annabelle lives with arthritis, facing challenges that many of us can’t imagine. Yet she continues to inspire those around her with her resilience, determination, and positive outlook. She continues to compete in gymnastics, works closely with her medical team, and refuses to let arthritis define her. She is truly an incredible young lady, and we are honored that one of our puppies gets to walk beside her through life’s journey.

Today, Phoenix provides stability, helps Annabelle navigate stairs, assists her in standing from a seated position, and offers comfort, confidence, and companionship every single day. Their bond is a beautiful reminder of just how life-changing a well-trained service dog can be.

We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Mike Ratliff @ Loyal Companions, LLC for recognizing Phoenix’s potential and dedicating the countless hours of training, knowledge, and care that helped prepare him for this important role. It truly takes a team to create a successful service dog.

Watching one of our puppies grow into a dog that brings greater independence, confidence, and companionship to someone is an incredible honor. We are so proud of Phoenix, so thankful for Mike Ratliff @ Loyal Companions, LLC for the dedication they poured into his training, and so inspired by Annabelle’s strength and determination.

This partnership is a beautiful reminder of the extraordinary bond between a service dog and the person whose life they help change. We are beyond grateful to have played a small part in Phoenix’s journey. ❤️🐾

If the Walk to Cure Arthritis returns to Tennessee next year, we encourage anyone who is able to participate or support the cause. Every step helps raise awareness, fund research, and bring hope to individuals and families living with arthritis
