The parents

Meet the parents

The puppies are never better than their parents. So when we decided to have puppies it mattered that ours weren't just healthy, but had wonderful personalities — and every one of them lives here with us.

Every puppy here comes from these parents, and every one of them lives with us. Our mamas were all born here, and are all daughters of Mama Blueberry and Daddy Oreo — check out our about page to hear that story!

The mamas

Photo coming

Frosty

Dam · F1 Sheepadoodle · 55 lbs
DNA clear by parentage

Frosty is a Blueberry daughter, F1 (half Old English Sheepdog, half poodle), and about 55 lbs. She's got her mother's easy temperament and a coat that lightened to a soft silver-and-white as she grew.

Ida is the stereotypical sheepadoodle: shaggy, silly, and happiest in the middle of whatever the family is doing. She's a Blueberry daughter, F1, right around 55 lbs, and a wonderful mama. Ida is the dam of our current mini litter with Wally.

Casper is a parti-colored AKC Standard Poodle we've had since the day he was born. He's right around 60 lbs, has beautiful markings, and a fun, outgoing personality — I don't think he has ever met a stranger. He's the sire of our current standard litter.

Grandma & Grandpa

Where it all started. Every mama in our program is a Blueberry × Oreo daughter — the whole story is on our about page.

Blueberry, Old English Sheepdog2 photos

Blueberry

Grandma · foundation mama · Old English Sheepdog

Our founding female, Blueberry is as laid back as they come. She is a gentle girl who just wants to lay down in the middle of the family room and watch the chaos around her. She is an amazing road-tripper and didn't complain a bit when she moved with us from Colorado to TN in a mini van with four kids. Her exceptional temperament and great mothering skills are what made me decide to keep back FOUR of her daughters for our program.

Oreo, AKC Standard Poodle

Oreo

Grandpa · AKC Standard Poodle
DNA tested

A perfect example of a Standard Poodle, Oreo LOVES his people, is crazy smart, and likes to cuddle! He's our very first poodle and, with Blueberry, the daddy of every mama in our program. He has since retired to full-time cuddle duty.

Health testing

Health testing: our mamas are DNA clear by parentage (Ida by Wisdom Panel). Sires are AKC registered and DNA tested — reports are linked on their cards. A note on Casper's paperwork: his DNA results are filed under the name "Caspian" — we hadn't settled on his name yet when we ran the panel. Same poodle.

About those names

Ida, Ivy and Irene came from Blueberry and Oreo's "I" litter (Frosty from an earlier one). Themed litters are how we tell, years later, which litter a Sheepadoodle came from — so you'll notice our current puppies have themes too.
