Updates:
6-23-25 - Liberty continues to look plump. She is showing a gain in weight - She is acting happy!
6-17-25 - Liberty is looking pretty plump. I'll weigh her this Friday to confirm what I think...
6-4-25 - Since the families of Abbie's litter have determined when they are picking up their
puppy, I have removed them from the list below. I don't know if Liberty's litter
took yet, but puppies would go home about September 15th 2025. Some but not all of the prior
updates have been removed.
6-1-25 - The families chose their pups yesterday and a 6th family joined the group picking a girl.
5-19-25 - Another family has chosen to rollover so 1 puppy will be available to a family.
5-9-25 - Liberty was bred yesterday and would be due July 11th. The procedure was
via a surgical insemination(s) into each horn. And, there was another adjustment
to the list of families below.
4-14-25 - Abbie had 6 pups late Friday night. There were 4 girls and 2 boys (adorable).
4-11-25 - I took Abbie's temp twice yesterday and she was at 100.4. This morning
she is 99.6. Phew... Below is the x-ray showing the pups. If you click on the image it will
expand for a better view. They say to count either skulls or zippers (spines).

Visiting:
Prior to a family making the selection of their pup (7th week), they may start visiting them at 4 weeks and weekly thereafter. Before puppies are born, prospective owners may come to the house and meet us, see where the pups will be raised, and ask any questions. We are in Burien in the Seahurst neighborhood. After the puppies go home and since they should not be around other dogs until they are fully vaccinated, I offer playdays every two weeks until they are 4 months old. This gives the owners a chance to talk and the puppies to play in a safe enviroment. Annually, (in the summertime)there is a reunion that families are welcomed to come back for.
Adoption Fee:
The adoption fee is $2,900 less a $500 deposit (sent with the questionnaire below), that has families making their puppy pick at 7 weeks and the puppies go home on the 8th week. It rarely happens, but in each litter, we reserve the right to withold a puppy for myself, donation or placement. Payment options are Zelle, personal check and cash.
Questionnaire, Sample Contract, Recommendations on owning a Bernedoodle:
To fill out a
questionnaire - (Word version)
for owning a puppy, click on the link provided. If you do not have a printer, I can
mail you one.
To review the contract, that the questionnaire references. It is intended to protect both parties and is signed off on upon pick-up of the puppy.
To view recommendations about owning a Bernedoodle choose the link provided.
Time Frame:
Typically there are 5-10 puppies in a litter. The families shown below will be
choosing based on the date of their deposit. Once a deposit is placed, the
owner has the option of the current litter, or to wait for the next litter.
If identified, their preference of sex, size and coloring is shown - This
gives others knowledge of who they may be leaning towards and helps me choose
the appropriate sire for those highest on the list. Families do have the right to
change their choices below.
Waiting List - Late Summer 2025 Litter
(Also mentioned above on 6-4-25) - Since the families of Abbie's litter have determined when they are picking up their puppy, I have
removed them from the list. And, shown below, families are asked what they would like in sex, coloring and size (yet, they may change their mind):
Sarah & Kyle -(Offered a puppy in May, but rolled over so must pick from the the next litter. Female/Tri/35#
Sarah & Alan -(Offered a puppy in May, but rolled over so must pick from the the next litter. Female/Tri/25#
Nancy & Rex -(Offered a puppy in May, but rolled over so must pick from the the next litter. Female/Either/35-45#
Anuj & Sailesh - Male/Tri/35-50#
Managing the List:
In the event a litter is larger than anticipated, or if a family needs to rollover,
those lower on the list will be contacted to determine their interest.
If someone does rollover, they will be placed on the list numerically, based on
the date of their deposit. If anyone can think of something more fair, please advise.
We thought this was funny...There is a series of 3 photos that we put in a loop. Notice
the basket getting further away from the wall then a puppy coming up the back bumps her off.
