I’m
Ron Kuepfer, proud owner of Willow Brooke Bernedoodles.
My family, along with our charming four-legged friends, enjoys life on a 25 acre property. A brook, bordered by willow trees, meanders throughout the width of our property. That’s why we named our kennel – Willow Brooke.
My love for dogs began when I was young. I grew up on a farm and what farm doesn’t have a dog? I don’t know what exactly it is about dogs, but something just clicks when I’m around them.
In the thrill of the teenage years I joined the workforce. It wasn’t long before I missed my interaction with dogs. In 2005 I bought my first English Bulldog. For the next 8 years I bred purebred English Bulldogs. These puppies are adorable, wrinkly little balls of fur and it is very easy to find homes for them. But they are very difficult to raise in the first critical weeks.
It was in 2013 that I was first introduced to a new breed, the incredibly beautiful Bernedoodle. I fell in love with them — their gorgeous colours, laughing faces and such attractive friendliness. And the mothers were experts with their babies – definitely a bonus. We had just moved to the present property and I immediately did extensive renovations on the existing building. We now have a top-notch dog kennel that meets and exceeds our township’s regulations. Not only do our dogs have a lovely well-lit building to call home, but every day they can be outside in our half-acre fenced pasture. Our willow trees by the brook and the new shelter give pleasant shade for them on hot summer afternoons.
We are committed to raising healthy beautiful dogs that are raised in a loving environment and given the absolute best start to life that we can give. We look forward to working with you and providing the best dog experience your family can imagine. We are delighted to be included in the lists of The Best Bernedoodle Breeders Around The World and Best Bernedoodle Breeders around the World – The Dogs Journal.
“My dog taught me everything I need to know. It’s okay sometimes to just eat and sleep. When you fall down, get back up, shake it off, forget about it and go on. Be very brave no matter your size. Make your own fun. Unleash your talents. Learn new tricks no matter your age. Make new friends. Sniff out opportunities. Chase after your dreams. When loved ones come home always run to greet them. At the end of the day it is best to snuggle no matter what has happened. Every day is a brand new day. Just be happy.”
