Jay and his family at Hoosier Canines love and care for each puppy so well! We’ve had our LunaBella for 4 months now and she is hands down the best pup we’ve ever had. Immensely smart, gentle and loves pleasing my husband and I! She is the best addition to my practice and loves being with hospice patients. Thank you Jay!

We purchased a standard Bernedoodle in December 2025. We love her! The best dog, smart, playful, the best demeanor, great with kids, and really fits in perfectly with our family. So in love with her. Jay was super easy to work with. Would definitely use them again.

Highly recommend!! Our family is in Orlando and we got our boy from Hoosier Canines just before Christmas in 2025 and had a fantastic experience! Jay and his brother were easy to communicate with and answered all our questions as they came up. They shared links to help us prepare before his arrival and even have a kit you can purchase that has everything to get started if needed. Most of all they are honest and transparent with everything, which helped so much with purchasing a puppy so far from home. We would absolutely use them again if we ever decided to add to our family!

Hoosier Canines is an outstanding breeder with amazing puppies! From the time I inquired about adopting a puppy to the moment Baxter arrived, and of course throughout the puppy parenting process, I have incredible gratitude to Jay Miller and his family and organization for doing such a great job. There are a lot of reasons you should consider adopting from Hoosier Canines (thorough health and genetic testing, incredible care for the puppies from the day they are born, amazing mom & dad dogs) but one of the things I think is a key differentiator is the Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) they do for their pups. My puppy seemed to be okay with exposure to anything after a few instances and I think ENS really helped with that. Here are photos of Baxter (3 of 16-17 weeks and 1 when we I got him at 8 weeks old). He's the best!!

My husband and I got our puppy from Hoosier Cannies and we loved our experience. The facilities were clean and the breeder is very knowledgeable and helpful. He was willing to answer our questions and was quick to respond. We just adore our little puppy. She is so social and loves everyone- dog or person! She is so sweet, loving, and loyal. A true companion! Would use them again in a heart beat!

We have adopted two bernedoodles from Jay. Our experience was wonderful on both occasions. Jay really cares about finding the right match for your family. Both of ours girls have excellent demeanors which are beyond perfect for our young children and they are loved by all that meet them! There’s not doubt that we will be getting our next furry family member from Hoosier!

We had an amazing experience with Hoosier Canines and cannot recommend them enough. We got our puppy, Luna, in November and she has been the perfect addition to our family. From the very beginning, Jay, the owner of Hoosier Canines, was nothing but wonderful to work with. His communication was excellent—he was responsive, helpful, and always willing to answer any questions we had throughout the entire process. He was also very upfront and transparent about all information, which we truly appreciated. We are from Chicago and Jay is based in Indiana. At first, I was a little nervous since I had never met him and had never even heard of the town he was located in. However, from our very first conversation, he made us feel completely comfortable and confident in our decision and trusting him was one of the best choices we made. Luna has been incredibly healthy, and even our veterinarian was pleasantly surprised at how great her health was, noting that she came with no complications. This really speaks volumes about the care and attention Jay provides to his puppies. Bringing a puppy into a home with a one-year-old can feel overwhelming, but Luna fit right in with our family from day one. She has such a great temperament, and it’s clear she was raised with care and love. The entire experience was smooth, professional, and reassuring, which made such a big difference for us as a family. You can truly tell that Jay is passionate about what he does and genuinely cares about both his dogs and the families they go to. We are beyond happy with our decision to go through Hoosier Canines and will absolutely be coming back to Jay when we are ready to add another puppy to our family. If you’re looking for a breeder who is trustworthy, communicative, and dedicated, Hoosier Canines is the place to go. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had a wonderful experience with Hoosier Canines and absolutely love our Ultra Bernedoodle! Communication was excellent throughout the entire process, and we really appreciated being able to visit her multiple times as a puppy. The breeder was fantastic with our kids and made the whole experience feel personal and family-friendly. We also chose to add training through Training That Lasts, and it was well worth it. Our puppy came home with a great foundation — confident, calm in many situations, and clearly well socialized — while still being a playful, mischievous puppy. Even after bringing her home, Hoosier Canines followed up several times to check in, which meant a lot to us. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a well-raised, happy Bernedoodle!

I would highly recommend Hoosier Canines to anyone looking for a great experience purchasing a new puppy! Jay was responsive and informative from our first contact through meeting our new puppy. Our puppy came to us as a happy, healthy pup. She's adjusted well to our family life with two young children. Jay really takes care of his puppies and helping families make a great connection to start things out on the right foot! Highly, highly recommend!

What a fantastic experience from the very beginning to the very end. We arranged a pre-adoption visit to LaGrange to see our puppy to make sure there was a connection (there was never any doubt). The Hoosier Canines facility is quite impressive. It was easy to see that Jay has a true passion for what he does and his care for animals. We had lots of questions throughout the process. Jay was wonderful to work with and was always prompt and informative in his responses. We couldn't be more pleased with our little "Angel". We highly recommend Jay and Hoosier Canines for your next new puppy. Jerry and Cindy

We have had our to Nico for a year now. He’s a wonderful dog and loves to play. He was by far our easiest pup to potty train. Hoosier Canines produce beautiful and healthy dogs. Would highly recommend.

We adopted (Volt), now Archer. As soon as we saw his picture we both went WOW… but so much more goes into the decision! Jay /Hoosier Canines went above and beyond to answer any questions or concerns we had. The temperament grade is very accurate and helped along with the health records of both parents. We are thankful to have found Hoosier Canines. Archer has exceeded our exceptions which can only happen with an excellent breeding program!

Brought home Bennie almost 3 weeks ago and he has been nothing short of the best puppy I’ve seen! Jay was awesome and helped me with all my questions and made the transition for Bennie seamless. He came home essentially potty trained and since coming home has been nothing short of amazing, even learning a few tricks along the way! Got an A+ at his vet appointment and even the vet said he is one of the best behaved puppies they’ve seen. Great around other dogs and people. 10/10!

Jay was very responsive and answered all of our questions, and we had a few. 😃 Our Benny (Vaylor) was from Violet and Mr Cocoa's litter and he's perfect! During one of our recent vet appointments, the vet commented on his genetics and said the breeder had done an outstanding job. We love our Benny!! 💙💙
