Bernedoodle - The Perfect Pet!
What our adopting families are saying about Echt K9:
-Chris, I couldn’t possibly be any more crazy about him. We went to our 2nd dog training class and his classmates consist of a Border Collie, a Mastiff, and a German Shepherd. He is BY FAR the fastest learner!!! Not to mention the most Handsome!!!!
- Hey Chris! We had something exciting happen with Dandelion. She was digging in a specific spot the past few days. Yesterday, she dug enough to dig up a mushy white thing. We took it away from her and threw it away but we realized after it was a rare truffle! Apparently only some dogs can find truffles . . . [five days later] . . . Hi Chris! Dandelion found another truffle!
-He says to tell the whole family “Hi”. He absolutely LOVES kids and I know that’s because he had such a great experience with yours. Thank you for being responsible breeders and giving each puppy the attention needed to develop healthy social skills.
-Well... Max is amazing. The absolute BEST dog we have ever had. We think we might want another.
-My puppy doesn’t do a whole lot of work at the office but I LOVE having him with me!!!
-He has not had any “accidents” at all! I think he is a genius. This boy is absolutely A MA ZING!!!!’
-Winston, the 16 month old, is 90 lbs and Cooper, the new guy (6 months old), is only about 10 lbs behind. He’s got the most amazing personality...he is best described as sweet and honest...Winston, on the other hand, is also super sweet but sneaky.
-Hey Destiny! So Odette has been amazing. . .my point is that Alexander (my 12 year old ) said that the Echt K9 dogs are the best! He said “ I hope that Echt K9 has puppies when I get older as they are the best and I can’t wait! “ What a testament! We are deeply in love and it warms my heart to hear my son say that after the work required for a puppy! I pray he gets a puppy from you when he is ready! I hope that we are clients for generations to come!😘
-Cooper loves children to the tilt. Our groomer does in home grooming and she has kids. When we pull up Cooper gets so excited to see them. I just know it is because he grew up with your kids.
-Hi Chris! We’ve named him Boba and couldn’t be happier. He got a vet checkup the day after we came home and were told that he was parasite free, good joints, and excellent temperament. He’s well on his way to being potty trained and has mastered the sit and stay commands already. Boba is wonderful with the kids and is very respectful of our elderly golden retriever. Thank you so much for ensuring that your pups have excellent temperaments and health. We are very pleased with how everything turned out!
