Meet Zena
CavaDoodle
Expected Adult Weight: 22–25 Pounds
At Hidden Valley Doodles, every breeding is planned with one goal in mind: creating exceptional Comfort Companions.
Health, temperament, intelligence, trainability, low shedding, and the perfect family size all matter. Every pairing is carefully planned months—sometimes years—in advance to produce dogs families can truly count on.
Zena is the daughter of Nelly, our Mini Saint Berdoodle, and Charlie, our Cavapoo. While we originally referred to the litter as our Saint Cava Doodles, DNA testing revealed that Zena inherited approximately 80% Poodle and 20% Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, making her genetically a CavaDoodle.
When I watched this litter grow, one puppy kept catching my eye.
That puppy was Zena.
Today she weighs about 20 pounds and is expected to mature between 22 and 25 pounds—an ideal size for both adventures and cuddling on the couch.
Personality
If happiness had four legs, it would be Zena.
She believes everyone is her best friend and greets people with a wagging tail, happy smile, and usually a hug. If you stop long enough, she'll roll onto her back and patiently wait for what she believes every visitor should provide...
A belly rub.
She has loved belly rubs since she was a tiny puppy, and thankfully, she never outgrew it.
Zena almost always has a toy in her mouth, and if it squeaks, you'll hear the fastest series of squeaks imaginable. Her joy is contagious.
Life with Zena
Zena is active, athletic, and loves having a job to do. She enjoys long walks, learns quickly, and loves spending time with her people.
She also has one funny little habit.
Her guardian family laughs because she'll gently grab her much larger Goldendoodle brother by the ear and lead him wherever she wants to go. He happily follows along, proving that confidence has nothing to do with size.
She's affectionate without being needy, playful without being overwhelming, and has the kind of easygoing temperament we strive to produce at Hidden Valley Doodles.
Looking Ahead
Zena represents everything we hope for in our breeding program: health, intelligence, affection, trainability, and a joyful personality.
We're excited to watch her future unfold and look forward to seeing these wonderful qualities passed on to future generations of Hidden Valley Doodles.
Like all of our breeding dogs, Zena's most important job isn't producing puppies—it's being a beloved member of her guardian family. She is dearly loved by the Pyfferoen family, where she spends every day bringing smiles, laughter, and unconditional love.

This little girl will snuggle in and steal your heart. She comes from my original line.  Scooby is her mom, Gem is her grandmother, Ruby was her great-grandmother and Jewel was her great -great grandmother.  She is 30 pounds and has the softest coat ever. I could snuggle with her all day. She is a good listener and smart and stylish.  To this day, I have never had to say, "Secret, be quiet"!  This trait I cherish and I am so pleased this is passed down. 

Meet Brandy – The Heart Behind Our Puppies

Brandy is no ordinary Labrador mix—she's the  true testament to what makes our doodles so special. With her sweet, fun-loving nature and a heart full of loyalty, Brandy brings warmth and joy wherever she goes. Her wide genetic diversity, combined with full health and temperament testing, makes her an ideal foundation for raising well-rounded, healthy puppies.

But Brandy is more than just her genetics—she’s a devoted mama with a gentle spirit and an intuitive sense of care. Whether she’s playing in the leaves, lounging in the shade, or working alongside me to nurture her puppies, she radiates calm, kindness, and joy.

To give you a glimpse into what we do and how we raise our puppies, I created this animated video inspired by Brandy’s journey. It reflects the love, training, and teamwork that go into preparing each puppy for a lifetime of companionship.

Brandy's legacy lives on in every one of her pups—bringing happiness, heart, and a whole lot of tail wags to families everywhere.

Meet Maggie
Maggie is one of the shining stars of our guardian program and is lovingly raised in the home of the Jungles family. She represents some of the most cherished and foundational lines here at Hidden Valley Doodles, carrying forward a legacy of temperament, structure, and heart.
Her lineage is something we are especially proud of. Maggie is the daughter of our beloved Milo, with a maternal line tracing back through Blueberry, Roxy, and our treasured Junebug — generations of dogs known for their intuitive nature, sound minds, and deep connection to people.
Maggie is an F1B Mini Labradoodle, holding steady at approximately 18 pounds, which makes her the perfect size for the direction our program is intentionally moving toward. Her stunning coloring combined with a coat that leans more straight to wavy makes her not only beautiful, but also wonderfully manageable for families seeking lower-maintenance grooming.
Personality-wise, Maggie is truly something special. She is fun, confident, and unflappable — the kind of dog who is always ready for the next adventure and brings joy wherever she goes. She has a lively, playful side that loves to engage, but just as naturally settles into a calm, cuddly, and deeply sensitive companion.
Maggie has an incredible ability to read the room. She mirrors the energy around her, stepping up when excitement is needed and softening when comfort is called for. This intuitive balance is a trait she clearly inherited from both her mother and her father, and it’s one we value immensely in our comfort-companion focused program.
Maggie embodies everything we strive for at Hidden Valley Doodles — beauty with purpose, structure with softness, and a heart that connects deeply with the people she loves.

Meet Nellie — Calm, Loyal, and Full of Love
📍 Guardian home with the Geisness family
👩‍👧 Daughter of Violet 💜 and Buster 🤎
⚖️ 30 pounds of cuddly goodness

Nellie is the kind of dog who makes life feel softer. She's incredibly affectionate, deeply loyal, and the queen of calm. While she’ll get a short case of the zoomies here and there (about five minutes of pure joy), the rest of the day she’s content to nap in a cozy spot, especially if it’s near someone she loves.

She lives with her guardian family where she’s adored by both the kids and the other pup in the house. She loves belly rubs, riding in the car, playing gently with the kids, and curling up on the air conditioning vent. Sensitive and sweet, she’s a dog who feels everything — even her vaccinations bring out the tears!

Nellie has had two incredible litters so far, and we’re proud to say her puppies have inherited her peaceful, gentle spirit. When paired with our stud Milo — known for his fun-loving heart and soulful connection — the result is nothing short of magic. These puppies are the perfect blend of loving temperament, joyful personality, and lifelong companionship.

We feel so lucky to have Nellie in our program and even luckier to share a piece of her heart through her puppies.

 This is Stella, a Labradoodle from Brandy and Milo, and she embodies the true spirit of our Guardian program. As she grows, she'll become a mother herself, spreading joy and love. I've had the profound privilege of having her by my side for a few weeks while her family was away in Washington. Her personality is a beacon of hope, reflecting the very best of Brandy and Milo. Witnessing firsthand the remarkable result of careful breeding for temperament has been a heartwarming experience. Stella is the epitome of all that I had envisioned when pairing Brandy with Milo. At the end of this inspiring video, you'll catch a glimpse of Stella, her mom Brandy, her dad Milo, and her brother Lewis. I feel grateful and blessed to have shared this time with her, and I'm even more hopeful for the bright future of Hidden Valley doodles with her as part of our program.

I named her Chai after my favorite tea — she’s sweet, soothing, and has all the right colors. Just like a cup of chai, she’s the perfect blend of everything warm and comforting, with that soft cinnamon-and-cream look and a gentle, calming way about her that makes you feel right at home. ☕💛🐾

This beautiful girl is full of potential with her unique colors, intelligent nature, and loving personality.  
Cali is one of those dogs who can make friends anywhere she goes—whether it’s a person, a fellow dog, or even the occasional campsite neighbor. She’s a true people-dog, happiest when she can sneak onto a lap, soak up some pets, and flash her sweet, soulful eyes. At 24 pounds, she’s the perfect size for snuggles, and she’s wonderful with kids.

Don’t let her calm and cuddly side fool you—Cali is an athlete through and through. When she visits here, she’s a true defensive driver on the playfield. At full speed, she can leap clean over Brandy with minimal effort, or dart under her just as quickly—always choosing whichever looks more fun in the moment. Fetch is one of her great loves, and she would happily chase every squirrel, bird, and bunny in sight if given the chance.

She’s well-behaved on a leash, enjoys long walks, loves camping adventures, and rides in the car like a pro. She’s clever too, figuring out treat puzzles in no time. And yes—she has a mischievous streak… if she feels she’s not getting enough attention, you might just see her trot by with one of your shoes.

Her favorite snacks? Peanut butter, eggs, cheese, Pupperoni, and the “bonus” bites the kids drop at mealtime. She also adores her Greenies for a little dental spa time.

Whether she’s curled up for a cuddle or sprinting like an Olympic athlete, Cali brings love, laughter, and fun to every moment.

Meet Coconut – “Coco” 🌸

We’re thrilled to introduce Coconut, affectionately known as Coco, as the newest addition to our breeding program! Coco is a beautiful F1 B miniature Labradoodle with a lineage we know and love.

She comes from an incredible line of dogs, including:

Mother: Blue

Grandmother: Roxy

Great-Grandmother: June Bug

Father: Milo


Though she’s still a puppy and growing into her full personality, Coco is already showing us just how special she is. She’s fun-loving, sensitive, eager to learn, and always has a happy, wagging tail ready to greet everyone she meets.

We’re so excited to watch Coco grow and look forward to the wonderful qualities she will bring to our program and future generations.

🐾 First in Line for Fun & Love – Meet Mila

Mila is the last puppy born to Cricket and Milo, affectionately named after her dad. From the start, she’s been a spunky, curious, and well-mannered little lady. She was also the very first of her litter to march through the doggie door and explore the great outdoors — and she’s been “first” at just about everything ever since! First out the door, first into the car, first out, first in the water (and last to leave it), first to eat, and first to come running for treats. Mila has decided she is never going to be last again.

Playful and kind, Mila can be found romping around with her cat friend Frankie one minute and snuggling up with her guardian mom Lisa the next. She adores everyone she meets and believes the whole world was made just for her. Never aggressive, Mila is full of kisses, hugs, and happy energy. Like her mom Cricket, she loves playing fetch and chase, and she’s been excellent about sticking to her toys instead of shoes or household items.

Smart as she is sweet, Mila quickly learned basic commands like Sit, Come, Up, Down, and No. She has her dad’s long legs, her mom’s gentle heart, and a touch of clownish charm — often carrying off laundry from the floor to “help” remind her family to use the hamper (underwear included!).

Myla is truly a special dog — smart, compassionate, funny, kind, and endlessly loving.

Meet Willow – Our Gentle, Joyful Treasure

Willow is a beautiful Australian Mountain Doodle—a unique blend of Australian Shepherd, Bernese Mountain Dog, Golden Retriever, and Poodle. I purchased her from a trusted breeder, fulfilling a long-time dream of adding a dog like her to our program. At under 30 pounds, she’s the perfect mix of size, temperament, and versatility—a true win, win, win!

Every breed in Willow’s background brings something special to Hidden Valley Doodles. From the Bernese Mountain Dog, she’s inherited her gentle, kind nature and that soft, thoughtful way she approaches you—reading your heart before quietly settling at your side. From the Golden Retriever, she has the warm, eager-to-please spirit that makes you feel like her favorite person in the world. Her Poodle side shines through in her intelligence—this girl learns fast—and from the Australian Shepherd, you’ll see her playful spark and joyful bursts of energy.

Willow truly is the whole package: sweet, smart, and spirited in just the right amounts. She’s everything I hoped for and more, and she was well worth the wait.

I named her Willow after my favorite tree here on the farm—and after the beautiful willow trees from my grandparents’ farm, which hold some of my fondest childhood memories. I know this Willow will create just as many cherished moments here, and I’m so excited for the love and joy she’ll bring to our families.

Meet our beautiful small standard Bernedoodle girl, Honey Bear!
​This girl is a pure, golden delight, and we named her Honey Bear because that's precisely what she is—a fluffy, light-colored cuddle bug with a heart as sweet as her name. At under 40 pounds she is perfect medium-sized. Honey Bear’s beautiful coat is just part of her charm. She embodies the classic Bernedoodle desire to love and be loved. Honey Bear isn't shy; she greets us by bouncing around like a happy kangaroo, then demands a hug by wrapping those  paws around you as if she never wants to let go. She possesses the ideal gentle nature and affectionate disposition we value, promising to pass on her famously soft and loving character to her future litters. 🐻💛🐾"
