Most all of our breeding dogs live with wonderful families in Guardian homes. This gives our dogs a normal family environment and they come to us for breeding and Whelping. The parent dog will most likely be back with their family at the time of puppy pick up. We consider all of our dogs family, and we do not re-home any of our retired breeding dogs.

Of course, they love the water after a little encouragement. Poodles were originally breed to be retrievers and used for duck hunting dogs. It is only natural for this mix to want to dive right in and enjoy a swim.
I have been a veterinary technician for over 16 years and the constant pursuit of perfection has always been my philosophy, I am constantly learning, listening and growing as a breeder and striving for the quality of my bernedoodles and the quality of my program to raise the healthiest and best puppies possible. All of our breeding dogs have full genetic health testing done according to breed specifics, as well as Penn Hip evaluation, OFA Elbow, Patella and Cardiac certifications before entering into our breeding program.
My main goal is to offer a happy, healthy puppy that will bring many years of companionship to your family.
We do not publish our master list. When you place a deposit You Will Be added to each generation list that you request according to when your deposit is received. We have many people on our Master lists that have been waiting for years and waiting for the perfect puppy or perfect time. Not everyone is waiting for a puppy right now and have had multiple opportunities to choose. What matters is our Bi yearly email updates that are sent for each generation at the beginning of the Winter or Summer cycle. A Picking list is then created from those that respond and are looking to choose a puppy within a 6 month cycle. This Picking list will be sent out with your placing and will be active for all litters in the current cycle. You will have the opportunity to choose from the litters planned during this cycle and everyone Has The Option To Pick Or Pass On Any Litter, After picks are complete for a litter, a revised list will be made with those remaining for The Next Upcoming Litter in the cycle. You May Have The Opportunity To Choose A Puppy Sooner Than Later. You Never Know When You Will Get That Special Call, So Be Prepared!
I Will Send An Email Out To Everyone On The Picking list For a Particular generation When The Puppies Are around 3 Weeks Old. I Will Let You Know The Date That I Plan To Begin The Selection Process. Please Let Me Know If You Will Have Any Conflict With The Timing So That We Can Make Arrangements To Discuss The Puppies. This Process Does Take Several Days And Everyone Is Anxious To Select Their Puppy. I Will Try To Contact You By Text, Email And Phone, If I Am Unable To Reach You Within 12 Hours, I Will Move To The Next Person On The List.
I post photos of the puppies on the current litters page as well as the Alpine Bernedoodles Family and Friends private Facebook group page at newborn, 1, 3, 5 and 7 weeks of age. Individual videos are done at 5 weeks old to give you a real look at each puppy. I will begin calling the first person on the list and as puppies are chosen, I will mark them as sold on our Alpine Bernedoodles Family and Friends page. Each person has up to 12 hours to make their selection, everyone on the list is anxious to choose, we feel that this is adequate time to decide. Each person has the option to pick or pass on any litter, so there could always be a chance to choose a puppy even if your number is beyond the number of puppies born in the litter.
Puppies Are Ready For Their Furever Homes Beginning At 8 Weeks Of Age. We will give families up to 7 days to plan how and when they can receive their new puppy. If you are able to pick up here at Alpine Bernedoodles, we will arrange a pick up date and time. We also suggest flying into Montrose and taking you puppy home in cabin.

The puppies receive their first vaccinations and veterinary exam at 6 weeks of age. Puppies are vaccinated every 3-4 weeks and will be ready for their 2nd vaccination shortly after going home. If your puppy is staying with us beyond 9 weeks, they will receive their next vaccination. The puppies will also receive regular scheduled deworming at 2, 4, and 6 weeks of age.
Your Veterinarian will schedule the next vaccinations and deworming according to their protocol.

A collapsible bowl is included in your puppy bag along with food and a collar and leash. We will also send you with a few Pee Pads if you are flying home with your puppy in-cabin.
The puppies come with a health guarantee which requires you to have your pup checked by a Veterinarian within 72 hours after receiving your puppy. You will receive a health record and vaccination history to take with you to your vet visit. A copy of the exam visit and any doctors notes will need to be sent to me for the health guarantee to be valid.
No, puppy selection begins at 6 weeks old. This gives the puppies time to develop physically and emotionally. I observe the puppies and note the personality of each puppy as they grow. By 6 weeks of age they have developed enough distinct personality to assist you in your selection. The information you add to your application is very helpful for me to suggest puppies that would fit your lifestyle, but ultimately you make the final decision.
If you know you will be choosing a puppy from a specific litter and would like to see the puppies prior to picking day, arrangements must be made to see the litter just before the picking process begins. This will give you an idea of which ones you might be interested in, but there will be no guarantee that a particular puppy will still be available when it is your turn to choose.
The Balance Will Be Due After You Have Selected Your Puppy. Final Documents will be sent within 24 hours of choosing your puppy And must be Returned With Your Final Payment within 3 days. Payment options include Venmo, Zelle and Wire Transfer . If you would like to use a credit card, I will invoice through PalPal and A 3% processisng Fee Will Be Added To The Final Amount. Ownership of you puppy is not complete until Full payment and signed documents have been received. If all required payment and documents are not received in this time frame, you will loose the opportunity to purchase your selected puppy.
Yes, if you are in the area, Marley is more than happy to be a test dog, she loves the attention! Another option is a towel can be rubbed over one of the F1 and F1B Bernedoodles and shipped to you. I have had good success with this option for people that have strong allergies. The cost for the allergy test towels is $20.00.
No, your puppy is not safe from contracting diseases until fully vaccinated including Rabies. We want you to safely socialize your puppy as much as possible, but use good judgement. If you want to take them out to public places, carry them around. Take them to your friends and neighbors house to play with other dogs that you know have been vaccinated. Socializing at a young age is very important, but safety first!
Bernedoodles need regular brushing to keep from becoming matted. Professional grooming is usually needed about every 8 to 12 weeks, depending on how much you groom them and what type of look you like. Some like them keep short, while other families love the long doodle look. Keeping the hair trimmed around their eyes is usually necessary between professional grooming.
