A Boutique Bernedoodle breeder who raises puppies in our home and around our family in Salt Lake City.
Our journey started in March 2020 when the world was facing the pandemic and I was hoping to help other families have a dog as amazing as our first mom, Phoebe!
Phoebe was a gift to us in 2018 when we had just finished our son’s treatment for childhood cancer. She was as much there for him as she was for us. She was my rock through the severe PTSD that came after watching my child battle brain cancer.
Life changed with Phoebe because I couldn’t have picked a better dog. She is so intuitive to the emotions in our home and it feels like she just knows. She is so sensitive to our feelings. I felt like it was by divine design to have her in our family. She is a magical dog that has filled a void that I didn’t even know was there.
I knew I wanted everyone to have a dog just like her who would become such an important part of their life and family.
So why did I choose to breed bernedoodles?
It was a happy coincidence that we chose bernedoodles. When I started researching dog breeding, I wanted a breed that would fit with any type of family- single people, couples, families with older kids, and families with young kids. I saw and got to know so many bernedoodle breeders on social media. Besides the puppies being darling, I knew the combination of the intelligent poodle and goofy Bernese would be a match made in heaven.
Now that I know more about the breed and have raised over a hundred bernedoodles puppies, I would pick them again every time. I have so many families that still contact me and tell me their bernedoodle is the best dog they have ever owned.
So why choose us:
- HEALTH & TEMPERAMENT FIRST: We put the health and temperament of our dogs above all else. Adding a bernedoodle to your family isn’t a decision you should take lightly and ultimately getting a puppy with a sound temperament that matches your lifestyle is the most important thing. I promise- ALL puppies start out cute, but in the end a cute puppy with a bad temperament will make for years of stress. We also have rigorous health standards and fully OFA and genetic test every one of our parent dogs before officially placing them in our program.
- RAISED IN OUR HOME: All of our puppies are raised in our home, around our kids, on a puppy curriculum designed to start your puppy off on the right paw for life. We add in developmentally appropriate activities as your bernedoodle grows from the early days of its life so that he or she is ready for life outside of our home. We even work on early potty training and crate training so that your puppy is really ready for that transition into your home!
- LIFETIME SUPPORT: Adding one of our puppies to your home means you join our Coco Avenue Pups Family. I am here to help you through your new puppy adjustment. I love getting updates from our puppy families and my phone is full of photos of our puppies as they have grown up alongside their families.
- MISSION TO HELP CANCER FAMILIES: One of the parts of my program that I am proudest of is Mighty Magnus’ Miracle. This is our donation program where we donate several puppies a year to families that, like us, have been affected by cancer. This has become a full circle moment to me to be able to give what was given to us, a companion that can comfort and support families that have experienced the hardship of cancer.
