Our breeder in Colorado has a Bernedoodle from Sherry Rupke.

Larry, you can feed your dog kibble its entire life.  They don't 'need' wet food.  Some people like to add some wet food as a topper to the kibble.  The one thing you want to be careful of is 'catering' to the dog - thinking it is bored with its food so you add and change and get very frustrated and you often end up creating a dog who is a very fussy eater. If you want to give your dog variety and once your pup is on adult food you can change flavors within a brand - some brands are easier to do this with - like Fromm.  As to how much to feed, begin with the recommended portions on the bag.  If the vet feels the pup is growing well, then that is the correct amount - this becomes much easier with a full grown dog because you can watch their weight yourself and monitor portions.

Hi Larry ~ Looking forward to seeing photos of your little doodle when he arrives.  I am sure your wife will be thrilled.  When you get a chance be sure to check out the groups section on the main page and join as many as you like.  Welcome to Doodle Kisses! 

Thank you for your take Larry. I was talking with my husband about it and we are going to look into that breeder some more. 

Hi Larry...I see that you are getting a puppy from Swiss Ridge Kennels...I was just wondering what made you pick them, and are you going to pick up the puppy or are they "shipping" it? Thanks so much for any info you can share with me.
