The dogs
There are dogs here.
Harmony Oaks Homestead is one family, one property, and two things going on. They are not kept apart, because they never were.
Bernedoodles, raised in the house.
Our family raises Bernedoodles here. Small litters, in the house, underfoot from the first week, handled by whoever walks past. It is not a kennel operation and it never has been.
That matters to the stay in a way that is hard to put on a list of amenities. A property with dogs on it feels different from a property without them. The quiet has something moving in it.
Dogs, hens and oaks, all in the same yard on the same afternoon. Not arranged, just what the place looks like when nobody is trying.
Not for sale
This is Zora.
She is a livestock guardian and she works here. Most of that work looks like lying in the middle of the path apparently asleep, which is rather the point of a guardian dog.
Not every dog here is a Bernedoodle and not every dog here is going anywhere. Some of them just live on this property and have a job.
Looking for a puppy
The puppies have their own home online.
Current litters, the parents, health testing, weights, the waitlist and everything else a family needs live at Tampa Bay Doodles. It is the same family and the same property, kept separate on the web because the two visits are looking for genuinely different things.
Visit Tampa Bay Doodlestampabaydoodles.com opens in the same tab, and nothing about a puppy is duplicated here.
If your dog came from us, it is welcome here.
A Bernedoodle from one of our litters is welcome to come back and stay. There are a lot of them out there by now, and we would like to see them.
Dogs from anywhere else we have to say no to, and we are sorry about it. The reason is simple: we know ours. We know how they are with the other animals here, and we know the other animals are fine with them. With a dog we have never met, on a property with livestock on it, nobody can promise that, and a promise nobody can keep is not one worth making.
Whether you meet our own dogs while you are here depends on what is going on that week. Sometimes there is a litter in the house and sometimes there is not.
