PUPPIES & LITTERS
Your puppy’s story starts long before go-home day.
From thoughtfully planned pairings to the first eight weeks of everyday family life, we want families to know what to expect — and to feel connected to their puppy’s journey along the way.
CURRENT LITTER
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! They are expected to be ready to join their families around December 1.
These F1B 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.

HOW RESERVATIONS WORK
Simple, personal and never just about picking a color.
A $400 deposit reserves your place in the litter. Selection priority follows the order deposits are received, and we’re here to help you think about personality, coat and fit as the puppies grow.
01 · Apply & Connect
Tell us about your household, lifestyle, dog experience, and the kind of companion you’re hoping for.
02 · Reserve
Place a $400 deposit by Venmo, check, or cash to reserve your place. Deposits are refundable and may be transferred to a future litter.
03 · Watch Them Grow
Families follow along as the puppies grow, learn, play and begin showing more of their individual personalities.
04 · Find Your Match
Selection order follows deposit order. We share what we’re seeing in each puppy’s developing personality, coat and individual traits to help guide your choice.
05 · Go Home
The remaining balance is due at puppy pickup and must be paid in cash.
Selection Priority
The first family to place a deposit receives first choice, the second family receives second choice, and so on. If a family later in the order is interested in a particular puppy, families ahead of them will have the opportunity to choose that puppy before the reservation is finalized.
When Selections Happen
Families may express interest in an individual puppy after the litter is born. Families who prefer to wait are asked to make their final selection when the puppies are approximately three to four weeks old.
Meet Your Puppy
We welcome in-person visits so families can meet the puppies and make their selection. If you’re unable to visit, we can also help you choose through videos or FaceTime.
WHAT GOES HOME WITH YOUR PUPPY
Prepared for the next chapter.
Our goal is to make the transition home feel less like starting from zero. Before go-home day, puppies have already been living with household routines, outdoor potty breaks, handling, social experiences and age-appropriate early skills.
- Two visits with our reproductive veterinarian before go-home
- Thorough veterinary health examination and first set of age-appropriate vaccinations
- Deworming and fecal screening for parasites before pickup
- Copy of your puppy’s veterinary health records
- Early potty-training foundation and household routines
- Bell-training and recall foundations introduced during puppyhood
- Individual observations about your puppy’s personality and habits
- One-year health guarantee for qualifying life-threatening genetic conditions
- Ongoing support after your puppy goes home

FROM BIRTH TO GO-HOME
Eight weeks of growing, learning and becoming themselves.
Birth & Newborn Days
Close monitoring, gentle handling, nursing, weight checks and lots of time with mom.
Weeks 2–4
Eyes open, movement increases and early handling continues. At about three weeks, sensitivity work and the Misty Method of early potty training begin as the puppies become more aware of the world around them.
Weeks 4–6
Household life expands: new sounds, surfaces, people, outdoor experiences and play. Early potty work gradually transitions toward frequent outdoor trips and bell training.
Weeks 6–8
Potty routines become a major part of the day, recall and bell foundations continue, personalities become clearer, and families prepare for homecoming.
THE DETAILS FAMILIES ASK MOST
The practical stuff, clearly explained.
Go-home timing: Puppies go home at eight weeks of age. If you need a little extra time, let us know — an extended stay can sometimes be arranged.
