We are dedicated to raising healthy, emotionally stable Bernedoodles through science-based health testing, thoughtful breeding, and lifelong family support. Whether you’re ready to adopt or learn about ethical breeding, we’re here to help.
At Capital Doodles, ethical breeding means taking responsibility for every decision, before a breeding takes place, during puppy development, and long after puppies go home.
As a responsible Bernedoodle breeder, we believe thoughtfully bred companion dogs play an important role. Families are seeking Bernedoodles with predictable temperaments, manageable energy levels, and sound health and meeting that demand ethically matters.
Our breeding philosophy is rooted in balance. We don’t chase trends or breed for extremes. Instead, we focus on producing well-rounded Bernedoodles through intentional planning, education, and accountability.
Health testing informs our breeding decisions; it does not replace them. We use genetic screening and orthopedic evaluations to reduce the risk of inherited disease and support long-term structural soundness, while recognizing that no test can predict everything. Ethical breeding means understanding results in context and being transparent about both strengths and limitations.
Bernedoodles come in a variety of sizes, making them a great fit for many families and lifestyles. Adult size is influenced by parent size, genetics, and individual growth patterns, so all weights are provided as estimated ranges rather than guarantees. Size categories can vary between breeders. Below is how we define and group sizes within our program.

Estimated adult weight: 25–35 lbs
Compact, adaptable, easy to manage.
Estimated adult weight: 35–55 lbs
Balanced size with a calm, family-friendly presence.
Estimated adult weight: 60+ lbs
Larger companion with a gentle, affectionate nature
Our puppies are raised in a real-life environment where they experience daily handling, new sights and sounds, and age-appropriate challenges.
Early Neurological Stimulation begins at just three days old and continues through the early weeks, alongside ongoing socialization and enrichment. This foundation helps our puppies grow into adaptable, resilient companions who transition smoothly into their new home
Located on 55 acres on the edge of Ottawa, our dogs have room to run, explore trails, and just be dogs. Muddy paws, leaves, and sticks are part of everyday life here — followed by dogs who want nothing more than to curl up close for belly rubs . Our dogs live as part of our household, not in kennels.
Families choose Capital Doodles because we prioritize:
• Carefully health-tested parent dogs
• Stable temperaments suited for family life
• Thoughtful early development and socialization
• Transparency and ethical decision-making
• Lifetime responsibility for the dogs we produce
