We knew we’d love our dog no matter what, but Beau.... she is literally the sweetest cutest dog there is. Perfection! From day one she has been so good with the kids, the chaos of our crazy life and just continuously bringing us joy. She’s perfect in all the ways and probably the cutest looking dog ever.

“We recently took "hand delivery" of Rocket in Hollywood California. He was 12 weeks old when Alicia and her two lovely daughters, Emme and Lexie, brought him in their arms all the way from Florida. When we got the call we we're next in line for a puppy I was extatic! Looking at pics from previous litters was enough to make our head spin and hearts pound in anticipation of getting our own dog. Rocket is a Tri-Color Bernedoodle who's so spectacular that not a single person has ever been able to pass without some adoring puppy comment, or kneeling for a quick pet and closer look. His good looks are only dwarfed by his sweet demeanor and curious puppy personality. My four and six year old girls are head over heals for him, almost as much as he is for them. Rocket is fantastic with kids and instantly fit in with our family! HFB is so much more than a breeder, they are purveyors of some of the finest examples of this unique mix you'll find anywhere. Alicia's knowledge of bloodlines, breed genetics, and behavioral characteristics, coupled with her years of experience allow here offer only the best of the best. If you met Rocket, you'd agree. I wish my daughters were delivered with as detailed of an instruction manual as Rocket came with! Our, "Dog Bible" came with so much helpful information that raising our dog to have a long healthy life will be easy. All the previous health check-ups we listed, all prior shots were listed along with serum batch numbers. As if that wasn't enough, Alicia is always available to answer questions. If you're looking for a Bernedoodle, this is the place.

“After growing up with a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog and later developing a dog allergy, discovering the similarly marked Bernedoodle breed was nothing short of a miracle for me! From the minute I spoke with Alicia over the phone, I knew that she was the breeder we HAD to get our baby from! Our boy “Blaze” is a standard F1, tricolored furry dreamboat.

In the short 6 weeks that we have had him, we have reaped so many benefits from all the hand-held care and love that Alicia, Lexie and their team pour into these babies. I truly believe that the BioSensor early neurological stimulation Blaze received from week one is why he is so smart! We have been able to challenge him mentally to levels of training that I’m not used to seeing at such a young age.

Our friends and family often comment on just how easy-going he is as he just willingly goes with the flow! And can I just place my hand over my southern heart in a moment of grateful silence that all Highfalutin Furry Babies are already started on crate training before they come to us? (Blaze slept through the night in his crate from night one!!)

We thought we were choosing Highfalutin Furry Babies to just get a super awesome puppy, which we did. But it turns out we were also choosing an amazing “family” style community of people who adore this breed as much as we do! Alicia and Lexie have truly built a family of new friends who support, encourage, and cheer each other’s furry babies on in all their exciting endeavors.

Thank you Alicia and Lexie for making our dream come true in the form of fluffy paws and wet kisses that I can cuddle endlessly without one sneeze!

With deepest gratitude,

“This past May, we decided to add a little lady to our family. I didn’t take this decision lightly, and had been researching for a while to find the best fit for our family of 5. I met Alicia through a friend, and she really helped me narrow down our decision, answering all my questions, with all things puppy (new doggie Mom here) We are so happy with Harlow, she is a micro Bernedoodle that loves to snuggle:) I never knew how deeply we would fall in love, and so over the moon, to give our 3 children, the chance to experience this kind of unconditional, furry love! Thank you so much Alicia, Lexi, and Emme, and the Marshall family, for our sweet blessing. Xo

“When my husband and I decided we were ready to add a puppy to our family, we came across the Bernedoodle breed and felt that a Bernedoodle would best fit our home and life style do to their temperament. So I began my research/digging on breeders. I came across Highfalutin Furry Babies, I found that no other breeder could compare to the level of love Alicia and Lexi put into their program !! Alicia was everything I was looking for, And MORE ! She is constantly Giving Back, with all these amazing donations ( I think i cry almost every time I see a puppy donated, it absolutely warms my heart). I am more than honored to be able to support Alicia and Lexi !! It was so worth the wait just like everyone of the Highfalutin members told me it would be. I trusted them and put my faith into the program! One year later from the time I committed to a Highfalutin furry baby my puppy was hand delivered to me personally by Alicia . She spent two hours with us going over all kinds of information and details! Just what I was looking for, a very thorough breeder! It is now one week of having the puppy Home. He is an absolute joy! So smart ! Absolutely loves his crate, rarely makes a peep when he’s in there. He knows a few commands already and he is just a few days shy of 10 weeks. He knows come, sit, and down (we’re working on Wait). He loves to snuggle with his Momma. He adjusted so quickly, doesn’t seem to be afraid of much like loud noises, dogs barking or loud trucks ect. I couldn’t of asked for a better well rounded, socialized puppy. Alicia we love you and your family and what you stand for. There are no words to express how grateful we are for you making sure our Christmas miracle came true!!

Love The Potrzuski Family !”

“My dog Oscar from HFFB is the most loving, kind, and amazing dog. He has surpassed even my wildest expectations. Before I heap praise on Alicia, Lexi, Kamal, and everyone at HFFB, let me give you a background about myself. This is not because I enjoy talking about myself, but because it will show you how even the most clueless and inexperienced person in the world with dogs (who defies all expectations about a dog owner) fall in love with a HFFB baby. I'm 38 years old, single, never been married, no kids. Live in Los Angeles and work in the entertainment industry. The epitome of a bachelor.

I've never had a dog before ever as a child. I never had a good experience with dogs until I was 32 years old in Park City and met a Bernese Mountain Dog. Instantly, I fell in love, but I knew having a dog that large would be tough. When a close family friend recommended Alicia and a bernedoodle, I did my research and realized my dream could become a reality. And then it happened.

My Oscar moved to LA June 26th. He received additional training and after only two weeks, he is sleeping through the night, following commands including sit, wait, fetch, heel, etc and he is so excited to see me that he acts like he won Powerball. No one except my mother when I was an infant has ever felt this way about me haha! Oscar loves his crate, takes treats from neighbors and friends and smiles, eats regularly, enjoys his toys and being petted, and every single person in my social circle either loves him after meeting him or is dying to meet him. If I can do this as someone with ZERO dog experience, it will be a walk in the park for you and your family.

Now to Alicia. Wow where do I even start: Alicia is one of the most caring and loving people I have ever met. She truly adores animals and treats them like her own children. They live in the home with her. Her passion jumps off the page and it makes a huge difference in the temperament of Oscar. Everything Alicia does is top-notch. From the amazing private support group on Facebook to the instructive breeding information to the recommendations of food, toys, and all equipment, she makes it so you absolutely cannot fail as a dog parent. She even connects you to EVERY SINGLE person in your litter so you can exchange information. Most of the dogs have their own Instagram pages and we all follow and support each other. In a time of divisiveness in our country, Alicia and her community provides a rare dose of positive energy that brings people so much happiness.

In addition, I have made friends in Los Angeles with the parents of Oscar's siblings and Oscar's cousin and we have had play dates already! I message the mom of Oscar's brother Glover who lives in Boston a few times a week. We all compare notes and try to do better everyday and become better dog parents.

The best thing I can compare to Highfalutin Furry Babies to is an exclusive private preschool in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, etc. Every single opportunity is given to the furry baby or the child to succeed. Alicia is like the principal of the school who makes the magic happen. But there are also guardians like Kamal and Natalie who are equally amazing who volunteer their time to make this community possible. Everything is buttoned up. There's nothing like it.

Thanks for reading this long review, but I can't say enough about Alicia and Highfalutin. If you are just looking for a dog, HFFB might not be the right fit. But, if you want the best for your puppy and you feel like your puppy is part of the family and you are a responsible and loving person ready for an amazing and life changing experience, Highfalutin Furry Babies is the place for you. I guarantee it!

“We could not be happier with our bernedoodle furry baby from Highfalutin Furry Babies!! Alicia does an amazing job of understanding the personalities of the puppies, matching them with owners and their lifestyles, as well as providing support to prospective and new owners. She always takes time to answer questions and support new owners. I am beyond thrilled with her caring nature and amazing knowledge of the breed. We were so lucky to find her!!

She has created a supportive community of owners who answer questions and share experiences. What a wonderful breeder!! I cannot say enough amazing things about Highfalutin Furry Babies!!!

-Marcy F (Kendall Park, NJ)”

“Alicia made sure we got our dream puppy, and went the extra mile with his delivery. She included a binder with all the information we could ever need about Brody’s health and how to care for him, food, a leash, his harness, as well as fun toys which helped him get acclimated to our home right away. Another awesome perk is that being a member of the HFFB family means we are all connected on social media as a community. We have a go to spot to ask questions, share advice, and make friends with fellow HFFB pawrents. We are so happy we went with Highfalutin Furry Babies! Alicia breeds the cutest furry babies and takes great care to ensure their health and positive traits. He was easy to train and is so smart. Our Brody was definitely worth the wait!

Love the Laskin’s”

“Piper is an absolute dream come true that I didn’t think existed. I was a bit apprehensive when I started looking as we already have another dog at home that is perfect. Literally. How could another dog compare? Would we be disappointed? Well, she has completely stolen our hearts and I, like every high falutin furry baby parent, believe she is the best dog in the world. Our flight nanny couldn’t have been more professional, caring, and helpful. It was such a fun experience picking her up from the airport. No question was left unanswered and we felt totally prepared heading home. I can’t begin to describe the amount of JOY she has brought into our home. She is the happiest and most social dog I have ever encountered, and everyone that meets her, loves her. Our real life stuffed animal, adored by all! She is so smart and so very, very special. We feel incredibly blessed to call her ours. We are forever grateful to Alicia and her family for bringing these incredible dogs into the world.💗

“I used to think how can Alicia know which dog is for us? Trust the process. Initially wanting a boy, especially after losing our Winston, we were surprised and delighted when Alicia mentioned a girl. We couldn’t have asked for a better match for our family. Piper was worth the wait! She is always happy, gentle, sweet natured, funny and just blends in with our family perfectly. She puts a smile on everyone’s face she meets. Thank you Marshall family for an amazing dog!”

“We can’t recommend Alicia and Highfalutin Furry Babies enough!

We spent years researching doodle breeds and breeders, and I never felt more confident throughout our research as I did once I found Highfalutin Furry Babies. As soon as we put our deposit down and joined the waiting list, we felt like a part of the family. Alicia, Lexie and Emme have built a wonderful community of families who are ready and able to support whenever and however needed.

We waited a year for our Stevie Ray and, boy, was he worth the wait. He’s not only full of love and joy, but he’s incredibly smart and well-behaved with a remarkable temperament. Our vet, groomer and trainer have all raved about his demeanor and temperament - a true testament to Alicia’s work.

Stevie slept through the night after just two nights at home, was near potty trained at only three months and is the star student in his puppy class. He LOVES other dogs and people (and is so friendly with children and babies!), and it’s apparent the socialization he experienced prior to coming home was vital to his development.

We are so in love with Stevie Ray, and we have Alicia to thank for bringing him into our lives. We cannot thank the Marshall family enough. If you’re considering adding a Bernedoodle to your family, you must adopt from Highfalutin Furry Babies. Best decision of our lives!

“I fell in love with Lucy when I saw her on Instagram. I had recently lost my Sebastian and didn’t think I was ready for a new companion. We had been on the waitlist and waited for the perfect baby!

I contacted Alicia @highfalutinfurrybabies to ask her about the puppy I couldn’t get out of my mind. Alicia asked me a battery of questions as to what size, gender, coloring I wanted. Lucy was the exact match.

I was concerned how my new puppy would get to my home.

Alicia and her wonderful daughters flew in from Florida and hand delivered my precious new baby!

Alicia stayed with us for a few days and made sure we were all compatible.

Lucy is perfect! I am so impressed with her and give Alicia credit for her breeding ability and care. Not only is Lucy perfectly marked for a tricolored Bernedoodle, her temperament is also wonderful....

getting a dog from @highfalutinbabies was such a wonderful experience that I am ready to get a playmate for Lucy from the same breeder!

“We received our perfect Bernedoodle, Ernie, from Alicia back in June, and words cannot express the love we have for him, Alicia and her family. He is truly perfect in every way. Alicia was so helpful during the whole process. Giving us updates and sharing health information on his growth. When Alicia brought him, she came ready with so much helpful information and lots of great tips, all wrapped up in his very own binder. My fiance and I cannot say enough amazing things about Highfalutin and Alicia. We feel absolutely blessed to be counted among her families and even more special to get to care for and love Ernie every day. THANK YOU! ❤️

“Two months ago I picked up my very first dog. It has been the best two months of my life. Brooklyn Poppy is sweet, smart, funny, and beautiful! She was almost potty trained after two short weeks, she knew basic commands at three months old, and loves all people and dogs to a fault. I couldn’t ask for a better first dog if I tried. Even after bringing home our puppy, Alicia and the Highfalutin family still offer plenty of support for newbies like me. Thank you so much Alicia, Lexi, and Highfalutin Furry Babies. They have spoiled me with giving me the greatest puppy ever. Highfalutin Furry Babies is the only place I will be going for future dogs.

“Alicia and HFFB are an amazing program. We're so happy to be a part of their family with our puppy Indie, a standard bernedoodle. She is the sweetest thing, and was well worth the wait. Don't be discouraged by the waiting list, it just gives you time to learn more, fall in love, and really understand what it is you want from your pup.

We learned about bernedoodles while researching Berners and other sennenhund breeds and fell in love. Then, we discovered a friend had one from HFFB so we talked to her and she just raved about her dog (Mocha, from Willow/Dash). Then, as luck would have it another dog from that same litter (Daisy) lives in the town next to us, so we got to meet her and her family, and were just head over heels. After meeting two of Alicia's dogs (and the wonderful families they come from) we were all-in, especially considering the worry-free nature of the hand delivery (Just wait, it's a day you'll never forget, and as a bonus you get to hang out with Alicia for a few hours!)

Alicia is great at understanding your situation, and pairing you up with the right puppy for you and your life. After submitting the deposit back in early summer of 2016, we waited in anxious anticipation as we climbed the list. A lot changes in a year, and that's why the wait is awesome. We were initially 100% set on getting a mini. But in the year we waited (note: we were offered several puppies well before then, but the timing wasn't right), we bought a house and with more room, we came around to the idea of a smaller standard F1 bernedoodle like Indie. We really wanted a pup that had Willow (the bernese) as a mom, as her other puppies seemed perfect for our lifestyle and this was our chance to get her, and we're so glad we did.

The people and families who belong to HFFB are wonderful, and having them as a group is an amazing resource. The support you get from Alicia and her team is beyond expectation. She's been there for us at every turn. Even getting us a little help and consult with potty training stuff (which helped immediately). She's so sweet and genuine, and you can tell how much she loves these dogs and the people who make their forever-homes.

We're surrounded by dogs here, and I don't know where any of them came from because that's not a thing people seem to talk about. But, everyone here knows that Indie is from HFFB; it's a thing that matters because Alicia and Lexie make it matter by caring and doing the things they do. It's a point of pride to be part of it and know that the dogs and families are all out there sharing their experiences with each other.

“It’s my absolute pleasure to recommend Alicia and Highfalutin Furry Babies as the absolute Cadillac of sales experiences for your PERFECT baby Bernedoodle.

Alicia not only went out of her way to travel to Tampa to introduce us to our baby, Jude, a Tri-Color Bernedoodle, while I was travelling for work, but she also flew to New Orleans to hand deliver Jude and came to our home with a very thorough packet with any and all information we will need as we raise our baby.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time working with Alicia, and I know her and her family as truly loving and trustworthy. She’s absolutely honest and transparent every step of the way. Beyond that, she somehow balances an impressive deluge of incoming messages and she is a problem solver who is always able to address complex issues with strategy and confidence.

Her knowledge and expertise in breeding and raising Bernedoodles is obviously the hugest advantage of the Highfalutin experience. Jude came with all his shots, he was chipped, and he was trained! Her dogs are clearly doused with love as they grow to be old enough to come home…. and we still can’t get over how intelligent our baby, Jude is. Along with her undeniably perfect dogs, Alicia was an absolute joy to work with. She’s a true team player and managed to make us feel like part of her family.

Without a doubt, I confidently recommend Highfalutin Furry Babies as the best brand to find a Bernedoodle to join your household. Alicia and her family are so dedicated and knowledgeable – not to mention they are just all-around great people.

We can’t wait to get Jude a little brother one day!!!!

“From the first conversation with Alicia to the moment she hand-delivered Tito to Detroit, we could not be any happier with our Highfalutin Furry Babies experience. Although we wanted the process to go quicker, Alicia was always in touch with us and made sure we were matched with the right puppy for our family. Since we welcomed Tito home, the continued support of Alicia and the HFFB family has been amazing for sharing suggestions and experiences. It’s been fun keeping in touch with Tito’s siblings all over the country and we’re looking forward to getting together with one of his brothers later this year.

The last two months with Tito have been absolutely awesome. You could tell he had been loved from birth and was exactly the type of puppy we discussed with Alicia…smart, full of energy with a great temperament always wanting to be around people. Now that the weather here is starting to warm up, we’re spending a lot more time outside on walks in the neighborhood, taking him shopping and at our son’s baseball games. I cannot tell you how many compliments we get and how often we get stopped to talk about him. (He loves the attention) We love Tito and are so lucky to have been included in Alicia’s HFFB family.

Lastly, one cannot underestimate the power of the HFFB network. Our family had been accepted by Alicia to adopt but had not yet welcomed Tito home when we saw the post in January about donation dog “Geddy B” needing to rescued from a unfortunate situation. Alicia worked tirelessly to find a safe home for Geddy B and I am happy to say he is living the life with my aunt and uncle and their big family getting all the attention he deserves. We are lucky to be part of this network and to have a connection with someone who cares as much as Alicia and her family.

In August 2019, we were thrilled to meet the newest addition to our family. Blaise is a beautiful F1 Standard Phantom Bernendoodle from Highfalutin Furry Babies. We couldn’t be more pleased with Blaise’s sweet, calm and loving personality. She instantly bonded with our family and has become an inseparable playmate for our 16 month old Bernedoodle.

We have been so pleased with the incredible guidance and support we’ve receive from Highfalutin Furry Babies. We highly recommend Highfalutin Furry Babies and will not consider any other breeder for our next Bernedoodle.

For a long time, I imagined what my dream dog would be like-beautiful coloring, smart, filled with love for the whole family. I didn’t think I’d actually end up with him. Sven is so much more to our family than I could’ve ever hoped for.

He has been a sweetheart since the day he came home and quickly became comfortable with his whole family. He cried for maybe five minutes his first night, and that was it.

I am so thankful that Sven is a part of my family and that Alicia and HFFB have pups that exceed all expectations
