OUR STORY

My name is Jillian and I grew up surrounded by animals. I was raised in New Jersey in a rural town surrounded by farm life. I owned horses, dogs, cats, ducks, rabbits, hamsters, fish, and any other pet I could make a part of my family. I always loved animals and wanted to breed puppies from a young age. My husband Kai and I met in college and he had never owned a dog before. After getting married and moving to Florida together, we got our first dog. For 5 years we had been researching Bernedoodles for their hypoallergenic coats as Kai suffers from dog allergies. In 2020, after years of planning, we bought a house with a yard and we got our Loki boy. We fell madly in love with him! He was our first baby and we knew that we had found our true passion. My husband had joined the ranks of the dog people, taking Loki for walks after work and socializing with all the other dog parents in the neighborhood! After adopting Loki we decided we wanted to make Bernedoodles a more prominent focus in our lives and share these sweet bundles of fluff with our friends and family. Shortly after adopting Loki, Raya joined our family and again our hearts were bursting with happiness. These two dogs completely changed our lives, filling our souls with joy, laughter, comfort, security, and most importantly love. Our Bernedoodles are our family first and our number one priority in our lives. The pups go where we go and travel across the U.S. in our camper van with us when we take a vacation or travel to visit family. We recently moved to a waterfront home on Marco Island, Florida with a huge yard for our dogs to run and play. They are island dogs at home but become mountain dogs, city dogs, and adventure dogs wherever we go. They are so incredibly adaptable, flexible, and curious! Not to mention Loki and Raya draw quite a crowd in any city they make an appearance in! We want to share with you our sweet, smart Bernedoodles and the joy they bring us. We hope to soon welcome you to the Golden Coast Bernedoodles family!
