more than just cute puppies
 

THE DIFFERENCE
IS IN THE DETAILS

CLB Puppies Are Raised
with Intention, Family, and Heart

BASED IN SOUTHEASTERN IOWA, WE ARE A FAMILY-RUN BERNEDOODLE BREEDER ROOTED IN CARE

At Country Lane, we believe the way a puppy is raised in their first eight weeks shapes who they become for the rest of their life. That’s why we pour our whole heart into every stage of their development. Our puppies are raised in a clean, calm, dedicated space, where they receive constant care, monitoring, and hands-on interaction every single day.

 

We begin with Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and Early Scent Introduction (ESI) to support brain development, confidence, and resilience. As they grow, we follow the BAB (Badass Breeder) curriculum—introducing age-appropriate challenges, new textures, toys, sounds, and environments to build curiosity and problem-solving skills. We gently expose them to household noises, handling, children, and different routines so they learn to feel safe and adaptable in real-life situations.

​

We also lay the foundation for potty training, crate comfort, grooming tolerance, and basic structure—because a well-prepared puppy is easier to train and more confident in their new home. Each puppy is temperament tested so we understand their personality and can make thoughtful matches with the right families.

 

From the very beginning, our puppies are raised with love, purpose, and careful intention. We don’t just want them to be cute—we want them to be calm, confident, connected, and ready to thrive as lifelong companions.

Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) & Early Scent Introduction (ESI)

​

From just a few days old, we gently introduce our puppies to Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and Early Scent Introduction (ESI)—two proven methods that help puppies grow into calmer, smarter, healthier adults. ENS involves small, controlled handling exercises that support brain development, boost the immune system, and increase stress tolerance. ESI exposes puppies to different scents to strengthen their nose-to-brain connection, confidence, and problem-solving skills. These exercises only take a few seconds each day, but the benefits last a lifetime. It’s one of the many intentional ways we give our puppies the absolute best start.

Temperament Testing
& Thoughtful Matching

Every family deserves the right puppy—not just a cute one. That’s why we take time to truly understand each puppy’s personality through daily observation and a full BAB temperament evaluation around seven weeks old. This structured testing measures confidence, motivation, energy level, human focus, tolerance to stress, problem solving skills, and more. We also get to know you—your lifestyle, experience level, hopes, and home environment. Then we carefully match each puppy with the family where they’ll thrive long-term. This isn’t about “first pick.” It’s about the best fit for both puppy and family. The result? Easier transitions, deeper bonds, and lifelong harmony. Because when the right puppy meets the right people… everything just clicks.
