Our Parents Exceptional Heritage & Lineage
At Sunshine Acres, we believe an outstanding puppy starts with an exceptional heritage. We own both the mother and father—and frequently the grandparents—of our litters, allowing us to provide complete transparency regarding your puppy’s background, health, and care.
The dam of this litter, Sheila, is a gentle, sweet-natured cross between a Bernese Mountain Dog and an Irish Golden Retriever. The sire, Dusty, is a purebred Standard Poodle who is bright, friendly, and full of engaging personality. This combination brings together the finest traits from both lines, resulting in puppies that inherit their mother’s affectionate heart and their father’s joyful charm. You can view both Sheila and Dusty on this page, and links to their official health clearances.
As a Bernese Irish Goldendoodle, this heritage beautifully weaves together elite lines: the Irish Golden Retriever, Standard Poodle, and Bernese Mountain Dog. The result is a stunning, deeply loyal family companion. This cross represents the culmination of 25 years of dedicated selection at Sunshine Acres, where we focus entirely on excellent health, trainability, and family-friendly temperaments that excel with children.
