Root & Branch Miniature Bernedoodle puppies are raised on the family farm in beautiful southwest Iowa. Here, they get lots of love and attention.
We invest in our dogs as part of God’s creation to give you the highest quality we can. We follow the Badass Breeder puppy raising curriculum to produce incredibly high quality family pets. This curriculum begins when the Miniature Bernedoodle pups are just 4 days old with the introduction of intentional daily handling and the exposure to a wide variety of novel stimuli. This helps to empower and build each puppy's confidence while teaching resiliency and trust.
The puppies are temperament tested at 6-7 weeks old. This testing assesses assertiveness, motivation, energy level, confidence, touch tolerance, human focus, toy/prey drive, sight/sound sensitivity, and tender-heartedness. Knowing these traits allows us to honor each puppy's needs and pair each puppy's temperament to their family's lifestyle and preferences. We want these matches to last a lifetime! This process equips families to select puppies based on criteria that goes beyond appearance and aesthetics.
