Within the tranquil embrace of our family-run farm, Hoosier Canines’ facility is a harmonious blend of comfort, innovation, and health-focused design. Central to our state-of-the-art living quarters is the climate-controlled environment, meticulously maintained to ensure the well-being of our cherished Bernedoodle puppies through all seasons. This careful regulation of temperature and humidity creates an oasis of comfort, safeguarding the puppies from extreme weather conditions and promoting optimal health.

A cornerstone of our facility’s design is the Dur-A-Quartz flooring. Chosen with both hygiene and puppy welfare in mind, this flooring system offers unparalleled benefits:

  • Hygienic and Easy to Clean: Dur-A-Quartz provides a seamless finish that makes cleaning and disinfecting easy. This feature eliminates the risk of harmful bacteria and pathogens hiding in cracks, ensuring our puppies a clean and safe environment.
  • Durability and Safety: Dur-A-Quartz is tough enough to endure puppies’ playful activities. It resists scratches and abrasions, keeping our facility in great shape and providing a safe space for puppies to play without harm.
  • Comfort and Warmth: Dur-A-Quartz is durable and comfortable for puppies. Its texture is gentle on their paws, and its thermal properties help maintain a warm and cozy environment, which is crucial for their early development.

The choice of Dur-A-Quartz flooring reflects our holistic approach to puppy care at Hoosier Canines. By prioritizing a clean, safe, and comfortable living space, we ensure that our Bernedoodle puppies have the best possible foundation for growth and development. This attention to detail is just one of the ways we demonstrate our commitment to raising happy, healthy, and well-adjusted companions ready to bring joy to their forever families.

Indoor and Outdoor Access

Each pen within our facility has a doggie door, granting our dogs and puppies seamless access to their outdoor runs. This design encourages a healthy balance of indoor comfort and outdoor exploration, vital for their physical and mental well-being. It allows our puppies to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine while ensuring they can always retreat to the comfort of the indoors.

We Also Offer Fun & Development Exercises

In the formative weeks and months of their lives, puppies at Hoosier Canines benefit from a carefully curated environment that promotes physical coordination, confidence, and social skills. Our outdoor playground, a centerpiece of their developmental journey, features a variety of engaging elements, each selected for its specific benefits to puppy growth and learning:

Teeter-Totter:

  • Balance and Confidence: Navigating the teeter-totter helps puppies develop balance and coordination. The movement challenges them to adjust their body position and weight distribution, building physical confidence.
  • Fearlessness: Learning to master the teeter-totter teaches puppies to approach new and unfamiliar situations with curiosity rather than fear, fostering a bold and adventurous spirit.

Wobble Board:

  • Core Strength and Stability: The wobble board is excellent for strengthening the puppies’ core muscles, which are crucial for stability and agile movement.
  • Proprioception: Engaging with the wobble board enhances proprioception and awareness of body position and movement and helps puppies move more confidently and gracefully.

Romp and Play Center:

  • Social Interaction and Play: This area is designed to encourage puppies to interact with each other and their environment in a safe, stimulating setting. It fosters social skills and ensures puppies are well-adjusted.
  • Mental Stimulation: The variety of textures, shapes, and interactive toys in the Romp and Play Center provide mental stimulation, critical for cognitive development and problem-solving skills.
