Adoption Process & Pricing

Adoption Process & Pricing

Ready to welcome one of our precious Bernedoodle puppies into your home? Here’s everything you need to know about our adoption process, pricing, what’s included, and travel options.

1. Reserve & Waitlist

A $500 deposit is required for any current or upcoming litter. This deposit is non-refundable but may be transferred to a future litter.

Deposits place you on our waitlist, and you’ll be able to select in order of deposit received. You’ll need to let us know your preferred puppy size (F1 Standard, F1 Mini, F1b Tiny/Micro-Mini), color, gender, and ideal timing.

Once the litter is born, you will receive updates (pictures/videos) and we’ll schedule a time for you to choose your puppy. You’re welcome to visit in person; if not possible, we’ll provide video/FaceTime support.

2. Pricing

  • F1 Standard (Blue Merle Tri‑color) — $4,000
  • F1 Standard (Black Tri‑color) — $3,500
  • F1 Miniature (Blue Merle Tri‑color) — $4,000

3. What’s Included

Your puppy will come with the following:

  • Micro‑chipped
  • Up-to-date on Bordetella, NeoPar & NeoVac vaccines
  • Dewormed
  • Licensed health certificate
  • 2‑year health guarantee (for congenital defects)
  • Vaccination schedule
  • Dew claws removed
  • A collar and leash
  • A toy and a blanket scented with mama’s scent to help your puppy feel comfortable during the transition

4. Shipping & Travel Options

  • Option #1: You pick up your puppy at our facility (our preferred option).
  • Option #2: Flight nanny service — your puppy travels in‑cabin with the nanny. Cost ranges between $600–$700 depending on destination.
  • Option #3: Meet us at the nearest airport (CMI in Illinois) and fly home with your puppy in‑cabin. No extra charge if you arrive at our designated airport; other airports may incur added driving fees.

5. Health Guarantee

We stand by our puppies with a 2‑year health guarantee covering debilitating congenital defects. Key terms include:

  • Puppy must be examined by a licensed veterinarian within 1 week of purchase.
  • Buyer is responsible for immunizations, internal parasite prevention, and heartworm prevention as recommended by their veterinarian.
  • The guarantee does not cover conditions such as hypoglycemia, malnutrition, dehydration, or stress‑related issues due to relocation; once the puppy leaves our premises, the buyer is responsible for further veterinary costs.
  • The guarantee covers only the original buyer and is limited to replacement of puppy in accordance with contract terms.

6. What You’ll Still Need

We include a solid starter kit, but you will still want to prepare:

  • Wire crate (for crate training)
  • Soft cozy pet bed
  • Gentle puppy shampoo (e.g., TropiClean)
  • Slicker brush to keep coat mat‑free
  • Continuation of the same food we provide for consistency
  • Durable chew toys (avoid plastic that can shred or break)
  • Consider signing up for the first month free insurance code we provide via our partnership with Trupanion — you’ll receive a code when you pick up your puppy.
