4-22-25 - Another adjustment to the waiting list below... A family had to drop off.
4-15-25 - A family needs to rollover to the next litter so the list is updated. Some prior updates have been removed.
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).

4-9-25 - WOOOOO HOOOOOOO - WE ARE PREGNANT!.... The x-ray shows 6 maybe 7 little doodles! When I get a copy of it from the doctor, I'll post it here.... Her deliver timeframe is Saturday - Monday. I'll start taking her temp on Friday and once it drops below 100 (normal for dogs is 101.5) labor is eminent within 24 hours.

Visiting:
Prior to a family making the selection of their pup, they may start seeing 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, there is a reunion that families are welcomed to come back for.

Adoption Fee:
Please call for the adoption fee. A $500 non-refundable deposit along with the questionnaire below, lines up families to make their pick at 7 weeks with the final payment due upon pick-up at 8 weeks. In each litter, we reserve the right to withold a puppy for myself, donation or placement. Zelle, PayPal or personal check are payment options. We are available locally and ship nationally.

Questionnaire, Sample Contract, Recommendations on owning a Bernedoodle:
To fill out a questionnaire - (Word version) for owning a puppy, click on the link provided.

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 (we are updating this) 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 a future 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 have the right to change their choice as shown.

Waiting List - Spring/Summer 2025 Litter
Families are asked what they would like in sex, coloring and size (yet, they may change their mind):
Amanda - Either - Tri - #25-35
Monica - Female - Tri - #25-35
Keith & family - (This family needs to rollover and wait for Liberty's litter.) - Either - Tri - #45-55
Peggy & David - Female - Tri - #25-35
Jeannette & William - Female - Tri - #25-35
Diane & Sharon - (This family needs to rollover and wait for Liberty's litter.) - Either - Tri - #45-55
Sarah & Kyle - (This family needs to rollover and wait for Liberty's litter.) - Female - Tri - #35
Sarah & Alan - (This family needs to rollover and wait for Liberty's litter.) - Female - Tri - #25
Nancy & Rex - Female - Either - #35-45
Hollywood - Male - Tri - #45-55

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 or their desired time frame in the future. 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.
