Gemma & Knox welcomed their puppies October 5!

Gemma and Knox welcomed their F1B Bernedoodle puppies on October 5, 2026. We’re excited to watch this litter grow! These puppies are expected to have low-shedding, allergy-friendly coats — a combination we’ve seen consistently in our program for more than a decade. As with any dog, individual coat type and allergy response can vary.

OUR PUPPY-RAISING PROGRAM

The first eight weeks matter.
We make them count.

Puppies learn long before they leave for their new homes. From their earliest days, we introduce them to the people, sounds, surfaces, routines and experiences of everyday family life — while beginning the skills that can make the transition home easier.

Early Handling

Gentle, frequent handling helps puppies become comfortable being touched, held and cared for.

Real-Life Socialization

People, household sounds, surfaces, outdoor experiences, children and other dogs become part of normal life.

Early Skills

Potty routines, bell training, recall and household rhythms begin before puppies ever meet their new families.

EARLY POTTY TRAINING

A better start at home.

Potty training begins here, not after pickup. At about three weeks old, we begin sensitivity training and the Misty Method of early potty training, then gradually transition puppies to frequent outdoor trips and bell training. Our goal is for puppies to go home at least about 80% successful with the routine, and many are further along.

An eight-week-old puppy is still a puppy. They need frequent breaks, patience and consistency. But our families are not starting from scratch.

“You have done such an amazing job with potty training and we so appreciate it!”

FINDING THE RIGHT FIT

More than color, coat and gender.

We spend enough time with every puppy to notice the differences that make each one unique — who is confident, who is easygoing, who wants to be wherever the people are, who loves adventure, and who would rather quietly curl up beside you.

That helps us guide families toward a puppy whose personality may fit their life, not simply the puppy whose picture caught their eye.

OUR DOGS

Great puppies start with thoughtfully chosen parents.

Temperament, health and genetics matter long before a litter is born. Our breeding dogs undergo full genetic panel screening tailored to Bernese Mountain Dogs and Bernedoodles, and we use that information alongside health history and temperament when making breeding decisions. Every puppy also goes home with a one-year health guarantee for qualifying life-threatening genetic conditions, with complete terms provided in our Puppy Agreement & Health Guarantee.

HAPPY FAMILIES

The puppy stage is only the beginning.

From our home to theirs — we love seeing who our puppies become. These stories follow New York Bernedoodles puppies from their first weeks with us into the family dogs they were raised to be.

OUR FAMILY

Raised by someone who understands little ones.

Long before New York Bernedoodles, Christina spent more than two decades running an in-home daycare. Together with her background in psychology and human factors, that experience shaped the way she thinks about development: consistency matters, environment matters, early experiences matter — and every individual is different.

That same attention carries into the way our puppies are raised today. We watch them grow, learn their personalities, give them real-life experiences, and put in the daily work that helps prepare them for family life beyond our home.
