Updates, Adoption Fee, Deposit, Questionnaire, Recommendations on Owning a Bernedoodle, Sample Contract, and Waiting List

Updates:
10-3-25 Puppies from the spring/summer 2025 litter went home over Labor Day Weekend. Since then, families that could, returned for playdays on September 13 and/or 27th. The next playday is set for October 11th. After a break, the next breedings (2 moms) will be in the late winter/early spring of 2026. This page will be updated as more information is available or, you are welcome to call 206-920-5076 with any questions. Prior updates were removed.

If you click on the images below, they will pop up in a larger window.

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. Zelle is available for any payment.

Questionnaire, Sample Contract, Recommendations on owning a Bernedoodle:
To fill out a questionnaire for owning a puppy, click on the link provided. If you do not have a printer, I can send you the questionnaire via US mail.

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.

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 Spring and Summer of 2026 Litter
1. Theresa and Ed - Female Bi or Tri/35# (Rollover from 2025).
2. Dave and Gretchen - Either Tri 40-55#

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. 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.
