Hattie
36lbs. – 15″ tall

Hattie is an amazing, sweet, lively and charismatic SwissRidge Doodle (a combination of a Bernese mountain dog, Golden retriever, Poodle and Australian Labradoodle). She was bred and raised at SwissRidge Kennels with her sister Hopper. Her parents are Autumn and Wookie. Autumn’s lines have been in our kennel since 1998. We have kept them around generation after generation as they have proven themselves to be healthy lines that produce amazing family dogs!!! Ginger, who in my opinion, was the sweetest golden retriever in the world (my soulmate), was the one who started it all and was the building blocks behind the SwissRidge Doodles. She was born in 1998 and lived to the ripe old age of 17 years old (passing in 2015). She produced Lazeeza (Goldendoodle) who was bred to Henry (Bernedoodle). They then produced Autumn (Golden Mountain Doodle) who was bred to Wookie (Australian Labradoodle) to produce Hattie and Hopper! These lines have been in our kennel for 26 years now and have blessed the lives of 100’s of families with their sweet and loving nature!
So a little more about Hattie!
Hattie is a beautiful, affectionate girl and a huge people-pleaser. She always tries to be perfectly behaved and loves showing affection. Hattie loves being close to any human, always seeking touch and affection. She likes to shuffle her head into our armpit so that our arm wraps around her, and then snuggle super close and give lots and lots of kisses. She is brilliant and active. She is a speedy learner, very attentive during training, and has a drive to work. She would have been a fantastic agility dog if she hadn’t already had a job. Hattie loves to run and explore new places. She has a perfect recall, and I never had to worry about her going too far or not coming back to me. She loves playing fetch, and we enjoyed walking to the park daily to play or people-watch. Hattie can be busy during the day and she loves following me into every new adventure, during downtime she enjoys chewing on a bone and relaxing. She enjoys doing dog puzzles to keep her mind busy when not chewing a bone. Hattie loves meeting new people and loves them instantly. Affection is her kryptonite. Hattie always received many compliments in public, not only for her beauty but for how wonderfully affectionate she was with anyone she met, from children to older adults. She wants to show everyone love. She is a social butterfly and lights up the room with her positive energy.
She has already proven herself to be a wonderful mother ​​​​​​​ with one litter of puppies on the ground that are blessing families around the globe!

 

 

 

 

Hopper
39lbs. – 17.5″ tall

Hopper is a fun, loving, sweet and social SwissRidge Doodle (a combination of a Bernese mountain dog, Golden retriever, Poodle and Australian Labradoodle). She was bred and raised at SwissRidge Kennels with her sister Hattie. Her parents are Autumn and Wookie. Hopper’s lines have been in our kennel since 1998. We have kept them around generation after generation as they have proven themselves to be healthy lines that produce amazing family dogs!!! Ginger (Hopper’s great grandma), who in my opinion, was the sweetest golden retriever in the world (my soulmate), was the one who started it all and was the building blocks behind the SwissRidge Doodles. She was born in 1998 and lived to the ripe old age of 17 years old (passing in 2015). She produced Lazeeza (Goldendoodle) who was bred to Henry (Bernedoodle). They then produced Autumn (Golden Mountain Doodle) who was bred to Wookie (Australian Labradoodle) to produce Hattie and Hopper! These lines have been in our kennel for 26 years now and have blessed the lives of 100’s of families with their sweet and loving nature!

Here is a little more about Hopper’s personality.

Hopper is everything you could imagine when you think about your perfect family dog! She has amazing/fun energy. She loves to play, explore and is always by our sides. She is also gentle and loves to snuggle during down time. She is an extremely affectionate and loving dog! When I try to name some of my most affectionate dogs I’ve been around, she is at the top of the list! She is extremely sweet and loves social interactions with all dogs and people. She is a social butterfly, always ready to engage in play and frolic with other dogs, regardless of their size or age. With people she loves to curl up beside anyone for belly rubs and ear scratches, if you let her, she will be curled up in your lap in a matter of seconds! Hopper thrives on outdoor activities and loves to explore new places. Whether it’s romping through our forest of 5km’s of trails, swimming in the pool or romping around with the other dogs, Hopper is always up for the challenge, her curiosity shining through as she investigates her surroundings with an endearing sense of wonder. With an ever-wagging tail and a perpetual smile, Hopper is a delight to have around. She is warm and friendly to everyone she meets. She adores children and loves spending time with them, eagerly joining in their games or helping them along their way when they are learning to walk or are unstable. She was raised with a 1- and 3-year-old in her training home and was very motherly to both. In the household, Hopper is such a joy to have around. She is great with kids and keeps them entertained. She is an easy dog and learns commands and new skills quickly. She brings lots of laughter and love into our family home. Hopper has passed all her genetic testing and our temperament testing and has now entered our breeding program! I’m excited to be able to share Hopper’s puppies with some lucky families in the future!
