Washington is a classic black-and-white Shichon with the kind of striking, high-contrast coat that turns heads. Like his parents, he’s expected to carry the breed’s signature low-shedding, allergy-friendly coat, along with the sweet, people-oriented temperament Shichons are known for. Both of Washington’s parents come from health-tested lines, with OFA evaluations on record and ongoing health screening as part of our breeding program โ because a healthy foundation matters just as much as a good-looking coat.
Washington has been raised with plenty of early socialization, handling, and enrichment to help him grow into a confident, adaptable companion. He goes home with a full take-home kit: a starter supply of food, leash, collar, vet check report, up-to-date vaccinations, and a few toys to ease the transition into his new home.

Melvin was very helpful with our purchase of Rusty (formerly Anthony) a mini Bernadoodle. The facility is very clean. I would recommend Tall Tale Puppies for your next puppy.Posted on Google Lisa KlotzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. was very happy with my experience with bringing a bernedoodle puppy home from Paw Tale Puppies. Melvin Lapp seems to genuinely care about the ethics of his breeding program and the quality of the socialization and care his family provides to his puppies. I liked that he was not only thoughtful in breeding for temperament but also using genetic testing to inform breeding decisions to support healthy starts for the puppies. Melvin took time to listen to what was important to me in choosing a puppy and had a recommendation for me of which puppy he thought might be a good fit if I agreed when I met the puppy. ย I was able to see the puppies virtually before making an appointment to pick the puppy up. I really liked the puppy Melvin recommended and chose to bring him home. When picking my new puppy up, I saw that the environment was clean and well organized. Records were well kept. My puppy is curious, happy, and affectionate. Heโs very intelligent and picks up training very quickly. He had been well socialized at Paw Tale Puppies. He was used to household sounds and activity and was calm during grooming and nail trimming. Heโs done well with meeting new people. He gets along very well with my two-year-old dog and has been a really great addition to the family. I would recommend exploring Paw Tale Puppies as a good option if youโre looking for a lovable dog with good temperament who has been given a healthy start in life.Posted on Google Cindy LipmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

We were so Blessed to find this breeder. Truly a gift from God.Posted on Google Tina ThomasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are grateful for the professionalism and the responsiveness we received while working with Paw Tale in getting our precious mini Bernedoddle, Oakley. Melvin was very polite and answered all my questions promptly, even on the weekend and through the holiday season. Melvin FaceTimed with us twice so we could see live activity of our puppy. Great communication before and after our transaction. Thank you to Puppy Tale.Posted on Google Carol TothTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I reached out on Friday, February 20th to inquire about Gracie, an 8 week old Micro Bernedoodle and received an immediate response about her availability. The following day we drove 5 hours to see her. We fell in love with her right away and decided to take her home with us. Melvin was wonderful to work with as he prepared her paperwork, took care of having her microchipped, and providing us with a care package. We were extremely impressed with how clean the facility is kept and with the fenced in yard where the puppies can run around. Gracie is a wonderful addition to our family.Posted on Google Patrick MunleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the pleasure of meeting Melvin, the owner, while picking up our new puppy yesterday. First let me say that he was very professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and most importantly, Melvin has a true passion for what he is doing. The location where he breeds and raises the puppies is also connected to his home. Therefore he is never disconnected from the puppies or his family. Everything about this made us feel more comfortable and trusting purchasing a puppy from him. His belief and process for raising his puppies until they are ready to go home with you is amazing. He truly cares about each and every puppy making sure they are healthy, socialized, are exercised, are played with, and loved. In my opinion this makes a huge difference and sets them apart from every "pet store". This I believe will also help develop the dogs personality. Our puppy, an almost 9 week old mini bernedoodle, is amazing. You can tell she was socialized because she is not timid or shy. She has the perfect temperament as well. She is playful, seems to listen very well, and is already our shadow following us everywhere and wanting to be held and pet all the time. The bond was almost immediate. All of this is because of the process Melvin truly believes in and makes sure all of his puppies are raised this way. A true testament to his passion. I will make sure I will recommend Paw Tale Puppies to our friends or anyone looking for a puppy. After our expierence, I can't imagine anyone wanting to purchase their pet from anyone else.Posted on Google Liz LimaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The absolute best experience! <3 Me and my husband drove from Massachusetts to pick up our Christmas puppy. We named him Dasher. He is the absolute cutest and the best little puppy! We have two big Sheepadoodles and I've always wanted a smaller dog. He fits right in. The facility is gorgeous and clean. Melvin is great! Answered all our questions and was very thorough and thoughtful. Even checked in to make sure Dasher was adjusting to his new home. Thank you so much Melvin!Load moreVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
