At Boise Doodle Co., our philosophy is simple — raise puppies the right way.
We focus on health, temperament, and connection. Each puppy is handled daily, socialized early, and matched to the perfect home based on lifestyle and personality.

We believe responsible breeding means more than great genetics — it means standing behind every puppy, for life.

Breeding With Purpose, Raising With Love

Mini Bernedoodle Stud | 20 lbs | Straight Coat | Health-Tested | Exceptional Temperament

Meet Arnold Palmer, affectionately known as Palmer—a standout Mini Bernedoodle stud and an incredible addition to our breeding program. At a perfectly compact 20 pounds, Palmer offers an ideal size for families seeking smaller, well-balanced Bernedoodles without sacrificing structure, intelligence, or temperament.

Palmer has a gorgeous, thick straight coat and a genetic profile breeders love: BB kyky atat Ee SiSi. He consistently produces beautiful, low-shedding, well-structured puppies with rich color and excellent coats. His look stops people in their tracks—but it’s his temperament that truly seals the deal.

This boy is calm, sweet, and incredibly human-focused. He’s eager to please, highly intelligent, and wonderfully intuitive with people. Palmer is quiet, not a barker, and exceptionally easy to live with—confident in new environments and adaptable to change. He loves everyone he meets and carries himself with a steady, self-assured presence that we value deeply in our program.

From a health standpoint, Palmer checks the boxes and then some. He has completed PennHIP testing and Embark genetic testing, with CAER eye exams scheduled for January and OFA finals planned for July once he reaches two years of age. We are intentional about building a stud lineup rooted in health, longevity, and temperament—and Palmer fits that mission beautifully.

Palmer comes from a trusted, reputable breeder in Louisiana and was thoughtfully selected to elevate our program. He was brought to Idaho alongside his sister Jackie and our stud Whiskey, and from day one he has proven to be an amazing addition—genetically, structurally, and emotionally.

If you’re looking for a Mini Bernedoodle stud that offers:

  • Proven and pending health testing

  • Outstanding temperament

  • Thick, straight, low-shedding coats

  • Compact size with excellent structure

  • Calm, confident, people-loving personality

…Palmer delivers all of that and more—without the drama. Just solid genetics, a golden personality, and puppies that are easy to love and easy to live with.

In short? He’s the kind of dog you build a program around.

  • Will you Ship your puppies Cargo with the airline?

    We do not ship any of our puppies via Cargo. There are too many variables and I am not willing to risk it with my pups and dogs. Puppies under 20 lbs can fly in cabin. Puppies over 20 lbs are able to travel via ground transport. We are very picky about who we are willing to use.

  • Yes. Every Boise Doodle puppy is introduced to a crate/kennel routine before going home. This makes crate training easier, helps with potty training (dogs don’t potty where they sleep), and provides your puppy a safe den space.

  • We recommend premium tools that match your doodle’s coat and lifestyle:

    • Pawtree Puppy Food (Turkey & Sweet Potato, White Fish & Brown Rice)

    • Chris Christensen Slicker & Pin Brushes

    • Cowboy Magic shampoo/conditioner

    • Puppy play pen, bully sticks, chew toys, collar, leash, bowls
      Tip: We’ll send you a starter potty tray and first week of food with your placement.

  • We feed Pawtree premium food (Turkey & Sweet Potato; White Fish & Brown Rice). It’s made in the USA, reduces gas, improves digestion, and keeps ears healthy. Puppies are fed twice daily in our home, and we recommend you continue this diet to maintain our Boise Doodle Health Guarantee

  • All puppies are trained to understand nighttime is for rest, not play. We remove food after 6:00 pm and water after 7:00 pm, which helps with potty training. Puppies are crated with comfort items (blanket with mom’s scent) to reinforce calm, quiet nights.

  • Yes. Boise Doodle Company offers concierge delivery nationwide. Most families choose airport delivery for $850, which includes flight nanny services and a hand-off at your nearest major airport. We also offer ground delivery options in select regions. Every delivery is designed to be stress-free and safe for your puppy, ensuring a smooth transition into your home.

  • All Boise Doodle puppies are sold on a strict spay/neuter contract, unless full breeding rights are purchased separately. Each placement also comes with our health guarantee, supported by veterinary records and a 30-day free Trupanion insurance policy. These agreements protect both your new family member and the integrity of our breeding program, ensuring long-term health and wellbeing.

  • Good Dog is a trusted platform that provides an extra layer of security and financing options for buyers. Boise Doodle Company lists select litters on Good Dog, and families can check out through their platform using Klarna monthly payments. Please note: if your initial conversation and application begins on Good Dog, their rules require that we finish the purchase there. If you apply directly on our website, you’ll bypass Good Dog’s fees while still receiving the same Boise Doodle health guarantee.

  • To reserve your puppy, we require a $1,000 non-refundable deposit (or 50% if the puppy is under 8 weeks old). For puppies over 8 weeks, the full purchase price plus Idaho sales tax is due to secure your spot. Deposits can be paid via Stripe on our website or through Good Dog checkout if you’d like to use Klarna financing. Once reserved, your puppy is officially held for your family.
