Below each profile is a link to their genetic test results.

Welcome to the MBD Meet The Mom’s Page!

This page will be “under construction” in 2025 as “The Changing of the Guard” takes place! Several mom’s will retire and several new mom’s will become first time mothers in 2025! If the information you are looking for hasn’t been posted yet or if you are unable to find/open it, please email Kim at PuppyInquiries@MABerneDoodles.com. I’m happy to help you!

How Many Litters Does Each Mom Dog Have & What Happens to the Parents when they Retire?

It all depends on how they do during pregnancy and also postpartum. Some moms have 4 litters (the maximum at MBD) and some won’t have any litters. For example, if we see any traits we don’t want passed on to their Bernedoodle babies, or if they don’t pass their health testing, than she wouldn’t pass our rigorous standards and she would retire with her Guardians right away. Motherhood is a unique experience, every time, so we take it one pregnancy at a time. If all 4 pregnancies go well, mom retires by 5 years old with her Guardian Families or with ME! If she has complications, she retires from breeding immediately, for her well-being ❤️

The “Changing of the Guard” at MBD

“The Changing of The Guards” is when several of our moms retire and several new mom’s begin having their first litters! This occurs roughly every two years at MBD, or after 3-4 litters maximum. The AKC sets the standards for most dog related topics, including the number of litters considered “acceptable” as well as colors, sizes & patterns by breed. The AKC states that the “acceptable” maximum for the number of litters for each dog to NINE litters BUT NOT AT MBD!

At Massachusetts Bernedoodles, we aim to set the bar higher for breeders nationality. I would never want to have nine pregnancies so why would that be okay for my beloved dogs? Why shouldn’t they have a normal life, like us humans? For these reasons, I decided 4 pregnancies would be the maximum number of pregnancies for each mom, as long as there are no major complications during pregnancy and/or postpartum and also as long as they retire by 5 years old. If there are ANY major complications or if our Veterinarian recommends retiring, mom retires immediately. As such, some MBD moms will have 4 litters, some will have 1 pregnancy and some won’t have any at all. It’s all individual.

These are Adolescent MBD Future Mom’s, having FUN!

Breeding decisions are based on the mom dog’s health testing, temperament and timing. For Example, September is not a popular time to bring a puppy home because it’s “Back to School” time! Therefore, regardless of who’s in season in May/June, we wouldn’t have any honeymoons simply for timing reasons. Ensuring every puppy has a home OR ensuring that every puppy is provided with Training & Socialization at 8 weeks is PARAMOUNT for healthy development. This is an essential part of being a responsible breeder.

When our moms are not having puppies, Pawrents live with their loving Guardian Families! They live a normal dog life with their Guardian Families, all the time, except for when they’re here, taking care of their puppies. Happy Dogs, Happy Puppies!

Is MBD Kennel Free?

Yes! All of our dogs/pups are raised as part a family. No kennel runs or crates, except for sleeping/house training. Just Pure family Lovins’!

Every MBD Pawrents live an Amazing & Spoiled Life with Me, or with one of our Trusted Guardian Homes!

Why? Because happy, healthy parents make happy, healthy Puppies! We have a robust Guardian Home program with only the best of the absolute BEST families to take care of them. Please check out the Guardian Home Page as we do have openings!

What is a Guardian Home? Are this guardians related?

Through our strong desire to provide only the best of the best for our Pawrent dogs, we have found that they are happiest when they have their own guardian family to love them! Go Figure! If having a Guardian Family is what makes them happiest, that’s exactly what we will do! Some of the guardians are related to each other because we recruit most Guardians by word of mouth. One guardian dog lives with my father and the rest of our guardians are typically not family relatives. All Guardians go through an application process. Once approved, Guardians join our private Telegram Chat and get to know each other! They’re all exceptional families or individuals who applied and, through our rigorous screening process, are approved! Please see the Guardian Page for more information!

When comparing a doggie daycare environment vs. a kennel, dogs are much happier in a daycare environment vs. in a kennel. During Covid, we had the opportunity to see how happy the dogs were in guardians homes because we had to close down the daycare. Through this experience, it became clear that dogs are happiest with a family! Nothing can substitute the love a family environment provides, therefore, MBD has adopted the Guardian Home platform for our Pawrent dogs!

We made the transition to placing nearly all of our Pawrent dogs with Guardian homes in 2022… minus my pack of 8 dogs who live with me in Ashby. Now, almost all of the MBD dogs live with a Guardian family where they live normal dog lives! They will come to MBD for honeymooning and, of course, for having their puppies! Our guardians come visit as often as they would like! When their puppies are naturally weaned, the mom’s and dad’s go back to their guardian homes, happy to have their bodies back! We have a couple of Guardians available now! Click HERE to learn more!

Is MBD a Commercial Breeder?

No, MBD is a “Private, Professional Breeder” as defined by the State of Massachusetts. We do not buy dogs or puppies from 3rd parties ever. When acquiring a new pawrent dog, which is for the specific purpose of diversifying our bloodlines, I work with my network of trusted mentors to find the Healthiest, Sweetest, Calmest Bernese Mountain Dogs and Poodles I can find! A very important and necessary practice in order to produce healthy puppies with sound temperaments. We would never ever buy or sell MBD puppies to a Commercial Breeder (3rd party broker) such as a pet store. Never ever.

MBD is classified as a “Personal, Professional Dog Breeding business” by MA State Law

This means, we raise and sell our own puppies to our own prescreened, MBD customers. We are professional Puppy Raisers & Trainers, as you will see on the live puppy cameras! We are also Educators to Student Coops, Internships, Externships & ALL MBD Employees. These skills cannot be learned in a hands-on environment, except for through breeding programs like ours. In most veterinary schools, they learn via textbooks and videos. One of our goals is to Set the bar high for breeders nationwide and to Educating Future Puppy Pawrents on responsible puppy buying practices.

From our Local Vocational High Schools to New England’s Most Prestigious Colleges & Universities, we attract some of the top Veterinary Students for gaining Hands On Experience!

We are honored to be an approved site on HANDSKAKE! We can host students from Universities such as Tufts, UMASS, UNH, URI and more! Our nursery functions like a vet clinic, with much of the same equipment too! New England is well known for great Colleges and Universities and we are happy to assist.

MBD has been accepted on Handshake, the platform college students utilize to find their co-op’s, internships and externs to gain the hands-on experience they will need after Graduation Day.

We have the “hands on” knowledge and absolutely love being able to teach responsible breeding practices! We have an abundance of support with our network of Veterinarians and our very own State-Of-The-Art equipment including our IDEXX lab equipment & we even have our very own puppy NICU! We have invested in MBD for long term success and so every puppy has the best chance at an AMAZING Life! We take pride in and love what we do.

MBD is Staffed 24/7, 365 Days a year to Ensure both Pawrents and Puppies are Receiving the BEST Possible Care! When compared to dog breeders without an overnight puppy caregiver, MBD delivers THE most socialized puppies nationwide with more than 600 hours of additional socialization!

Born weighing around 1lb and without sight or hearing until week 2-3 of life, there are 56 Days between birth and take home. We have 8 weeks, or 1,344 hours, between Birthday and Puppy Pick Day, to raise your puppies into be into your sweet loving puppies by 8 weeks old! A third of that time, or 448 hours, falls during the overnight hours between 11PM-7AM. Almost all breeders close their nursery overnight, however, MBD never closes! When compared to Breeders who don’t provide 24/7 Care, MBD stands out with 448 hours of extra socialization time during the overnight shift!

We are PROUD Participants of PUPPY CULTURE! Check out the video below!

Further, as far as safety goes, we have never lost a mom due to complications before, during or after birthing. Further, our neonate death rate is less than 2%, which includes stillborn puppies. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about stillborn puppies but we still try every time. The “acceptable” puppy death rate according to the AKC is 30% because most deaths occur overnight and most breeders don’t have an overnight caregiver. I believe if a puppy is born alive, it’s our duty to take care of that puppy! Every puppy soul is sacred. Seems like common sense….

And…. You’ll Get to See All of the Action at MBD on the Live 24/7 Puppy Cameras!

We now have our own, State-of-the -Art Puppy Play, Stay & Training facility!

At MBD University, the MBD dogs and training puppies love Learning, going for walks and playing in one of our 5 outdoor play arenas. This makes for a HEALTHY, HAPPY environment OVERALL!

With all of our parent dogs living normal dog lives, all are very well socialized, loved and well trained. I don’t believe in utilizing traditional kennel runs because that would be like living in jail. They do, however, sleep in a crate at bedtime to maintain house training. I chose this model because dogs are social creatures and are happiest when with their people, and/or playmates, just like any person or dog!

WE ARE PROUD TO BE KENNEL-FREE!

Health Clearances

All of my Pawrents have OFA or PennHIP certifications & Genetic Testing. We are transitioning to PennHip for the future, as this test is reliably performed at 4 months old. However, OFA Testing is the “Tried & True” method and considered the “Gold Standard”. Each dog must be rated as “good” or “excellent” and within the acceptable norm for their breed, by a licensed veterinarian, to become a parent in my program. Genetically, they must not be “affected” by any of the most common heritable diseases by breed(s) and the Lovely Couple must not be “carriers” of the same condition. If one parent is a carrier and the other is clear, no puppies are affected. Obviously, we don’t breed dogs that are related. Bad for health and Gross. 🤢

We do our genetic testing and double check potential pairings through Embark, PawPrint and/or GenSol genetic testing. Daughters/Sons that we keep for the future are already “cleared” because their parents passed their health testing. “Clear By Parentage” means their parents are clear and therefore, the puppies are also clear. Parents can’t pass on what they don’t have.

She loves to dog but she’s smart and knows to stay out of the garden.

Janie loves playing with her other canine siblings and really enjoys the colder weather. She spends hot days lounging on the cool tiles in the bathroom or under the deck in the shade. She walks beautifully on a leash and likes to stick right by my side. She’s incredibly affectionate and loves to play TAG!

Meet “Charlie’s Angel’s” Dolly & Poppy!

Charlie’s Angels, born from Charlie Girl’s one and only litter of 12 puppies! I just had to keep TWO for the future because Charlie Girl has one of the BEST temperaments I have ever seen on a Bernese! Due to postpartum complications, however, Charlie Girl could only have one litter before retiring.

DOLLY & POPPY ARE CHARLIE’S ANGELS! With their adorable expressions, these are two of the MOST EASY GOING, LAID BACK, Cool, Calm and Collected bernedoodles I’ve ever met and they LOVE being with their human siblings. Poppy’s special person is her human brother (see BELOW video!). She is ESA Certified! Dolly is also an ESA certified Dog so their genetics are beautiful! These are qualities I have seen passed on in both of their litters! All of their puppies will all have the same wonderful qualities about them too, inherited from their Grandmom, Charlie Girl! Dolly & Poppy both live with LOVING Guardian Families, like many MBD pawrents, so EVERY Pawrent gets to Live a NORMAL, HAPPY Dog Life! They have morning routines which include training practice, lots of snuggles with their Special Humans and tons of playtime too! Then it’s off to the bus stop to collect the kids from school. After school, they drive to all of the sports activities and hang out in the bleachers with the other Pawrents. They absolutely love being part of a family!

Dolly has had 2, litters as of 2024, and she’s one amazing mom who has even fostered other babies, when a mom has needed a break! Poppy was a 1st time mom as of Oct. 2024 and, as we suspected, she was a fabulous mom! Here are their Health Clearances! Tap the link below! 👇

Talulah has had 2 litters of Micro/Tiny Bernedoodles with Hendrix and Jacob! These babies, I’m telling you, are the cutest things you may ever encounter!

Not only are their personalities SUPER CUTE, their temperaments aren’t like the “typical small, yippy, nippy” dogs at all because they think they’re big dogs so they act like big dogs, even though they are small dogs! Choosing calm, sweet poodle dads definitely has a lot to do with their beautiful personalities too! These Micro and Tiny Bernedoodles are quite addicting! You may end up leaving with TWO! It has happened TWICE lol
