Family Fun Day 2026

Our recent Family Fun Day was everything we hoped it would be and more. The post from FFD 2026 is available HERE.

Once again, families traveled from near and far to spend the day together, reconnect, meet new families, and meet lots of incredible dogs. It was especially fun to see puppies from past litters all grown up, meet some of our adult dogs, and celebrate the incredible community that has grown around our program.

One of the most rewarding parts of the day was seeing the friendships and connections that continue long after puppy pickup day. What began as families searching for the perfect companion has grown into a supportive and welcoming Bernedoodle family that spans the country.

This year’s gathering was also especially meaningful as we announced the recipients of our very first Alexa Memorial Scholarship. Established to honor Alexa's memory, the scholarship celebrates individuals whose love for dogs has made or will make a meaningful difference in their lives and communities.

The day was filled with laughter, wagging tails, shared stories, and heartfelt moments that reminded us why we love what we do. We are incredibly grateful for every family who joined us and helped make the event such a tremendous success.

Thank you for being part of our journey and for helping create a community that feels more like family every year.
