Even if you manage to find a reputable doodle breeder (good luck), you're still rolling the dice on what you wind up with regardless of what you're told. With wanting a known background on a puppy and some certainty in what you get, you can safely ignore any doodle breeder though. A bernedoodle isn't guaranteed to not get huge, an aussiedoodle isn't guaranteed not to shed heaps and develop issues if you don't do a ton of training and give it a job.
I'd go on r/dogs and fill out their breed questionnaire. You'll get a ton of advice from people and tips on how to find a good breeder if you go that route. I'd personally look into standard poodles if I was OP.

A good, reputable breeder will have background information that can be relied on. Keep in mind, these breeders don't have litters you can just call up and pick from, you're going to be vetted and put on a waiting list until one becomes available. You'll find they have health records on both parents, testing for hereditary issues and dogs that fail are not bred. You're not going to be able to reserve or request a color for them to come up with, you're not going to be able to pick from a bunch of litters every year and you'll probably be looking at a contract when you buy your puppy.
