Our Facilities at Central Wisconsin Bernedoodles
A Purpose-Built Bernedoodle Breeding Facility in Wisconsin
State-of-the-Art Nursery Design
Our nursery is a space we are very proud of. When I was designing a space I wanted to raise puppies in, I wanted it to be welcoming, clean, feel like a home and tranquil. I call the nursery “my happy place” and it continues to bring joy to all those who step through our doors.
It’s the heart of our program and where our Bernedoodle puppies begin their lives.
We take great pride in having a space dedicated to our dogs and their comfort. When designing our nursery space, we wanted to create an atmosphere that was as peaceful for our dogs as it was for us.
This state-of-the-art nursery is equipped with 5 whelping suites—3 designed for newborn puppies and 2 for older litters in our “overflow additions.” Each dam has her own private area, where she has access to her puppies 24/7 without any threat of other dogs near her or her puppies, which is a real concern with new moms. They prefer to be in a quiet, secluded space so that 100% of their focus can be on the health and well-being of their new puppies.
We can access each whelping suite via a see-through gate and also via our live stream security cameras. Each whelping suite has a separate area for the dam to take breaks from her puppies outside the whelping box when the puppies are less than 3 weeks old, and then a divided section as the puppies age.
Exhaust fans keep our nursery smelling fresh and clean, while maintaining a healthy air quality as well. Puppies are kept at a safe temperature by thermoregulated heaters/AC units and heating pads. This warm, happy, and clean space allows us and our dams comfort when we spend 24/7 with them over the first 2 weeks, keeping close watch over her and her fragile puppies.
Our focus is always on raising healthy Bernedoodle puppies in a clean, controlled environment.
Private Whelping Spaces for Every Momma
Each momma has her own whelping room, which she begins getting settled into about 5 days prior to her due date. She has access to her own space within her whelping room for taking breaks from her puppies when needed, and our live feed security cameras allow us 24/7 access to watch over her and her pups during those initial, critical days and weeks, especially.
This allows us to provide constant care and monitoring in a safe, low-stress environment.
Early Puppy Development & Enrichment
As the puppies get older, their whelping area expands, and mom spends less time devoted to her puppies. We slowly begin introducing toys into their whelping area and expand their exposures each week. Each litter has access to our Puppy Gym, with a wide variety of activities to challenge them, explore and enjoy.
This early enrichment plays a key role in raising well-socialized Bernedoodle puppies.
The Puppy Gym
We’re THRILLED with the addition of our NEW PUPPY GYM for enrichment activities!
The puppy gym allows us to remain consistent with our advanced socialization curriculum year-round, even in incliment weather.
The Dog Den & Expanded Facility
We have 2 washer and dryer sets to keep our linens fresh and clean, a retro fridge for a home-like and welcoming feel, and indoor/outdoor access points to access our closed system environment for everyone’s safety.
In 2022, we added onto our original nursery and created what we lovingly refer to as the Dog Den. This added space allows us to have:
-
A complete grooming station with a dog wash and a fold-down grooming table
-
Additional storage and a secondary washer/dryer
-
A designated picture-taking space for our weekly photo shoots and photo prop storage
-
An office area
-
Our FAMOUS PUPPY GYM
-
Overflow whelping rooms for older litters
-
Adult dog kennels and storage
This addition has been just an incredible use of space, and all who enter our facility comment on how welcoming and clean, fun and effective our nursery is at offering our puppies THE BEST start to life.
It allows us to operate as a truly professional Bernedoodle breeding facility while still maintaining a home-like feel.
A Breeding Facility Built Around Our Mission
Our breeding facility is unlike any other in the state, and allows us to work with our puppies in a way unlike any other breeder.
When we set out on this journey, our focus was and will always be to breed dogs in an environment that we love, in an enriching way, while building relationships with families. Our process, this nursery space, and these relationships have brought so much joy to our families and us.
Our mission to support successful adoptions by raising empowered, well-socialized, and healthy puppies couldn’t be possible without this incredible nursery area. THIS SPACE has allowed us to continue that mission, and we look forward to having you visit our facility when you come to pick up your puppy!
We’re proud to offer one of the most thoughtfully designed Bernedoodle facilities in Wisconsin.
