Who we are

Welcome to Summerfield Kennels — a small, family-based breeding programme built on heart, integrity, and a genuine love for exceptional family dogs.

Based in New Zealand, we are a boutique breeder specialising in Saint Berdoodles and Groodles, raising each litter inside our family home — not in kennels. Our dogs grow up surrounded by children, daily routines, laughter, and real-life experiences that shape them into confident, well-balanced companions.

For us, breeding is never about volume — it’s about purpose.

Our Philosophy

At Summerfield Kennels, we believe:

• Temperament is everything

• Early experiences shape lifelong behaviour

• Health testing matters

• Quality always outweighs quantity

• Dogs should be raised as family first

We carefully select our parent dogs for their calm, affectionate natures, sound structure, and beautiful coats. Our goal is to produce puppies that are not only stunning in appearance, but deeply connected, gentle, and adaptable within family life.
