Updates, Application, Deposit/Adoption Fee, Recommendations, Sample Contract, and Waiting List

Update:
3-29-26 With the dust settling after most families chose their puppy from the Farm Litter yesterday, prior updates were removed and the waiting list updated. The full breeding plan for remainder of 2026 and early 2027 is available on the home page.

Visiting Processes:
Prior to a family making the selection of their pup on the 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 (plus Washington State Sales Tax) 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 to the phone number below.

Application, Sample Contract, Recommendations on owning a Bernedoodle:

To review the Contract, that the application references. It is intended to protect both parties and is signed off on upon pick-up of the puppy.

Time Frame and Deposits Submitted:
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 and helps me choose the appropriate sire for those highest on the list.

Families for the upcoming litter are shown below (but what may change are the sex, coloring, and weight they desire:)
1. D and G - Either - Tri - 30-45# (Rollover from prior breeding/must choose from next litter or forfeit deposit)
2. Evette and family - Either - Tri - 25-35# (Rollover from prior breeding/must choose from next litter or forfeit deposit)
3. Amy and Pamela - Male - Tri - 40+# (Rollover from prior breeding/must choose from next litter or forfeit deposit)
4. Braden and Lauren - Female - Tri - 35# (Rollover from prior breeding/must choose from next litter or forfeit deposit)
5. Kip and Lisa - Remale - Tri 35# (Rolled over from prior breeding/must choose from next litter or forfeit deposit)
6. Elana and Bill - Female - Tri - 25# (Rollover from prior breeding/must choose from next litter or forfeit deposit)
7. Carla and Jeremy - Male - Any - 35# Still deciding from current litter

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 but in the next litter they must choose a pup or forfeit 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.
