Working with Blackstone Berners & Bernedoodles was such a great experience! Rhett's communication, openness, and indefatigable patience for the myriad of questions we had proved we had made the right choice reaching out to them and getting our puppy there. Our litter was small, but so very pretty. We were able to meet all of the pups in person, which was so great! Once we knew our pick (or the pup's pick of us), we named her Matilda. From that point on Rhett sent the photos and updates to us individually. Early on we decided that we would participate in the 2 week's training program and pick Matilda up at 10 weeks vs. 8 weeks. I highly recommend this! Dana, who was the primary trainer, did such an amazing job with Matilda. At 10 weeks we got a puppy who was crate trained, basically house broken (it took 3 more days at home to complete the potty training, which is quite amazing), who knew how to sit, down, shake, place/spot, and a few other commands. Bernedoodles in general are so smart; one has to get on their training immediately. We had known that, and were so happy Dana spent those two weeks with Matilda. During that time we received consistent communication via text messages and even videos!
We have a happy, healthy, trainable, easy and eager to please puppy. We love our sweet and sassy Matilda!
