WELCOME TO THE ISSUE
The Beginnings This is the first photograph of Mika. It served as a magnet for immediate attention and excitement from her family. Born June 17, 2020 to a Bernese Mountain Dog Mom and Mini Poodle Dad, she was the most adorable female mini tri-colored mini bernedoodle. With 11 puppies in the litter, she first met her family on August 8, 2020 and they returned 4 days later to bring her home for good at 8 weeks old on August 12, 2020. Certainly a pandemic puppy, she quickly become the best part of the Hansen family and fit in quickly with Dad, Mom the children, Collin and Kayla.
