FAQ

$500 is required to reserve a puppy. This amount is applied towards the total price but is not refundable should you cancel.

We do require that every puppy that leaves our home be spayed or neutered by 18 months of age and proof be sent to us.  Our puppies are intended to be family pets and not every breeder has their breeding dogs as part of their family too.   Spaying and neutering also cuts down on the risk of many cancers.  We do not beleive in early spay and neutering, therefore we do not fix our puppies before they go to their forever homes.  Large breed dogs need the hormones to grow their bones and joints correctly.  We are very strict about our spay/neuter policy. 

Bernedoodles are like any other doodle is this aspect.  They shed very minimally to not at all.  Curlier coated bernedoodles are less likely to shed than straighter haired ones. 

Every purebred or mixed breed of dog has its own set of health issues that may develop.  By combing the two breeds, we greatly lower the occurances of health issues.  However, bernedoodles like any other living creature, can have health problems.  Both the Bernese and Standard poodle are genetically prone to Vwd, PRA, and DM.  Luckily there are tests for all of these diseases so there is no reason that any puppy should be afflicted with one of these problems.  No puppy from us will ever develop one of these problems (by carrying two genes of this disease) as we health test our parents for all of these problems.  Both breeds are predisposed to develop hip and elbow dysplasia, and ligament cruciate disease.  Unfortunately, there is no genetic test for any of these diseases and genetics only play a small role in the likelihood of these problems happening.  We can do our part as breeders by testing our adult dogs for these diseases and if they have any of these problems, not breed them.  It is important to keep in mind that just because a parent dog does not have one of these problems, doesn't mean the their puppy won't.  There are just too many other factors that go into the health of a dog to completely eliminate these problems. 

All of our puppies come with a 3-year genetic health guarantee which can be found in our contract
