Welcome to Bertana Sheepadoodles
We are a responsible and ethical breeder of the beautiful Sheepadoodle based in Queensland's Gold Coast Hinterland. Our program focuses on creating healthy, happy, genetically diverse puppies of exceptional temperament. Our pups make perfect family companions, many suitable for dog obedience, agility, and support / therapy prospects depending on your needs.
About Our Program
At Bertana Sheepadoodles, we specialise in mini and medium-sized first-generation backcross (F1b) Sheepadoodles, comparable in size to a Border Collie.
Our goal is to produce the highest quality puppies, collaborating exclusively with reputable breeders who share our commitment to creating genetically diverse, healthy, and confident puppies with outstanding temperaments.
We prioritise quality over quantity, meticulously planning each litter and producing only a select number of high-quality litters each year. We are devoted to breeding Sheepadoodle puppies celebrated for their loyalty, warmth, and charming personalities.
Our puppies benefit from early neurological and sensory exposure (ENS/ESI) and receive social and environmental interactions to foster confidence and adaptability. Handled daily and fed a variety of high-quality foods, puppies are nurtured in a loving environment, ensuring they are well-prepared for their new homes.
We take pride in providing families with delightful companions that bring joy and love.
Our Breeding dogs
Our breeding dogs are also our family dogs. They live with us in our home and are an important part of our lives. All of our dogs are carefully selected as a breeding prospect to enhance our lines with a focus on health, temperament and genetic diversity. Our breeding dogs are extensively health and temperament tested before entering into our program.
