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!
