Our Puppy Adoption Process Step One- Application Interested in one of our Whimsy Doodle puppies? First fill out and submit our puppy application. You can find the application in the menu tab under Application. Once that is done, we will email or message you within 1-2 business days. Make sure to include which puppy you have an interest in. Please understand that any puppy shown as available may be in the process of being reserved. We sell our puppies to approved families on a first come basis. Once we begin a waitlist for a litter, puppies picks will be done at 5 weeks in the order deposits are received. We as a breeder reserve the right to reserve our pick of the litter first. Please contact us so we can help determine which puppy would be a good fit for your family and lifestyle. Sometimes the look you are after doesn't carry the temperament you may be searching for. Step Two- Deposit Once your application has been approved, you have communicated with us and we have agreed upon which puppy is right for your family and lifestyle, then it is time to place your Non-refundable deposit in order to reserve the puppy agreed upon. This deposit is to secure us holding the puppy until 8-9 weeks of age when it can go home. A Deposit Contract must be filled out, signed and returned to us With your deposit in order for us to accept it. As soon as we receive both the deposit contract and deposit, we then mark the puppy as reserved on all platforms and will not show that puppy to other potential buyers. Step Three- Health Contract When we receive your deposit, we will email or message you the deposit contract to sign along with the Health Contract. This is the contract for the sale of the puppy and includes the health guarantee . This contract Must be completed, signed & returned to us before puppy can go home. Step Four- Preparing for Puppy This exciting time will go much quicker than expected. While you are waiting for the special day to arrive, we will continue to send photos and sometimes videos once weekly until go home day! We suggest setting up your puppy's new living area before go home day. We recommend a wire crate with a puppy pen around it. Each family will go home with a 2 Gallon bag of the mixed puppy food that we feed. We feed a mixture of Canidae All Life Stages Salmon & Ancient Grains and Wellness Complete Health Large Breed Puppy Food Chicken & Whitefish. After all of the contracts have been signed, we will arrange a pick up date for you to pick up your puppy. We send each puppy home with a large tote filled with goodies. Please see the Puppy Go Home Bags section below for a list of items. Each Puppy will be given a separate pick up so that We can go over everything with the new family. During this waiting period, it is wise to contact your vet and set up an appointment for your puppy to be seen within the first few days of bringing him/her home. We bring all puppies to the vet prior to leaving us. They will go home with their first vaccinations and a health certificate stating they are healthy while with us. Often times puppy training programs fills up fast. We recommend contacting them as soon as you know your go home date to get your puppy in at the right age. (waiting until your puppy has had at least 2 vaccinations is sometimes acceptable to training facilities). We always suggest waiting until vaccinations are complete at 16 weeks for safety. Step Five- Paying All Puppies must be paid for in FULL before going home. We will NOT release any puppy that hasn't been paid for. There will be no exceptions to this. If boarding fees have been added to the total of your puppy, they must be paid in full before puppy can go home. Payments can be made via Zelle, Good Dog or paid in Cash if agreed upon up front. We do not accept payments for puppies with Venmo, Cash app or PayPal. Step Six- Pick Up Day As mentioned above, each family will be given a separate pick up day & time. If a family needs to pick up their puppy after the initial Go Home day, then a $30 per day boarding fee will be added to their total. This fee must be paid in full before pick up. When the day comes to pick up your puppy, we recommend that you are prepared with the following items; *A small crate for your car or under seat travel crate for flights. *A Towel for puppy in case of vomiting or accidents. Baby wipes are also handy to have for clean ups. *Travel bowls for food and water. * A bottle of water. *A harness and leash. *A small blanket, bed/crate pad for the crate. *Puppy Pads for the crate and to place on the ground for potty breaks when traveling home. Please remember that puppies enter a strong fear period during week 8-9. Leaving the breeder, their mom and siblings can be very stressful as is. So bringing a puppy home during this time needs to be done delicately. We strongly recommend that 1-2 people pick up the puppy to bring home. Having a loud group or loud rambunctious children during that initial time can overly stress the puppy out. This can cause a reaction that can live with the puppy forever. It is best to keep the first few days as calm as possible for your new puppy. Go Home Bags Items your New Puppy will Go home with. All puppies will come with their first shots, dewormed, microchipped and will be looked over by our vet before leaving. We offer a limited 1 year health guarantee.We will be sending home a care package with each of our puppies as well. This package includes: * A reusable Whimsy Doodle tote bag. * A binder with all of your paperwork, vet documents and some educational information. * Dew Claws Removed by licensed DVM *Vet exam *Vaccinations- First set. Second set will only be given to older puppies that are still with us at the time the next set is needed. Of course all shots will be given at the appropriate age. *First Heartworm chewable- One single monthly dose. *Two probiotic packets- When puppies go home it is very stressful on them. To help, we give probiotics for gut health. This also helps if you switch their food from what we feed. * Dewormed every two weeks from birth. *Food- A 2 Gallon bag of puppy food will be provided so you can slowly introduce your own food. It will be a mixture of the two foods I feed. * A fleece blanket- (pre-washed) that has been with your puppy's mom and liter mates for their scent. This helps with the initial transition to your home. *A Microchip- The paperwork to add your information to your puppy's microchip will be inside of your binder. *Two new puppy toys- A small Kong for made for a puppy and A Kong brand tough stuffed animal. (**Always observe your puppy while playing with any toy.) *Poop Bags. One full container of Poop Bags for your trip home. *A Potty Pad or two- to place your puppy on during the trip home. *Snuggle Puppy- Each puppy will have their own stuffed snuggle puppy that provides warmth and comfort while soothing your little one.These can aid you in crate training your puppy by reducing barking, whining and nervousness. Each of them includes a heart that provides a real-feel heart beat with 2 different modes. They also come with a disposable warming pack. *Treats- One package of Puppy Treats so you can begin your new puppy's training right away. They are Soft Puppy bites, Lamb & Salmon recipe, from Wellness. This is the same brand as the food I provide. *Puppy teethers- I include a couple of Yak chews that help exercise your puppy mentally as well as helping with teething. We give these to our puppies as soon as their puppy teeth are in.

Color genetics for dogs can be very complex. This is just a short explanation of the basics on color genetics. Defining Colors Its important to start with the basic sold colors of a dog. This Is the B locus. All dogs have a base coat of either Black or Chocolate (Brown). You can typically determine by the eye if they are Black or Chocolate based on the pigment of their nose. Genetically testing your dog is always best to determine proper genetics. If there are no other genes in the genetic makeup of the Black or Chocolate dog, you will see a solid Black or Chocolate dog. Black is a dominant color gene, so it requires only one copy of the Black gene to give you Black. Chocolate is recessive and requires two copies of the gene and therefore both parents need to carry Chocolate. The gene that determines Black or Chocolate is the B locus. B/B or B/b = Black (remember that dominant colors are capitol letters) and b/b = Chocolate (Brown). The colors white, cream, apricot and red are all produced by the same gene. This is the E Locus. It is a recessive gene so you need two copies of this gene for it to show in their coat. These dogs can have either Black or Chocolate pigmentation. This gene gives a range of shades within it, going from white to red. So if I breed a white to a red, I can get a range of colors in between. (It is also important to note, that the K locus and A locus will not be expressed if a puppy is genetically e/e. Remember that lower case is recessive.) E/E or E/e = No White, Cream, Apricot or Red and e/e = White, Cream, Apricot or Red. When it comes to dogs, sometimes colors and patterns can be breed specific. For example, the harlequin gene in most commonly found in a Great Dane. This is a gene whose color pattern results in black patches of color on a white base. Its important to understand that all harlequin coated dogs carry one copy of the merle gene. However dogs without the Merle gene or color pattern can carry the gene for harlequin. The same can be said for a brindle gene. It is not found in every breed and certainly not every doodle. Phantom Brindle and Sable color is the result of two genes working together. The first gene is the K locus. There is a dominant gene, Kb, and a recessive gene, Ky. Kb is a blocking gene that does not allow the expression of the A locus. A locus is the second gene needed to produce phantoms/sables. Therefore if you have even one Kb gene in a line, the A locus can not be expressed at all. This holds no matter what the genes are on that locus. The Brindle gene is believed to be found on the K locus and only needs one copy to be expressed. Kb/Kb, Kb/Kbr or Kb/Ky = No expression on A locus. If you end up with Kbr/Kbr or Kbr/Ky = Brindle Expressed (not all genetic testing companies test specifically for this and it can be controversial). Ky/Ky = Expression of A locus allowed. The coat colors that show on a Solid Black and Chocolate (brown) are determined by the A locus. This tiered system is as follows: Ay/Ay = Sable, Ay/At = Sable Phantom, At/At or At/a= Phantom and last a/a = Solid Colored. Parti The S locus controls the placement of the white in a dog. It also controls how much white is in a dogs coat. We call this Parti. It is white markings on any other color already noted above. Parti is a recessive gene. This is a color that you wont typically see in F1 generations. However you can get parti’s in F1b or above generations. Remember that Solid colors are dominant and parti colors are recessive. S/S or S/sp = Solid Color and sp/sp = Parti Color. The S Locus also has untestable sub-loci, so some aspects of how the S Locus affects color are still unclear, perhaps even unknown. As a general rule however, dogs with SS will be solid or may have abstract patterns (areas of white on the face, chest & paws). This Abstract gene can be seen often in F1 Bernedoodles. Ssp will typically have 50% or less white such as abstract and tuxedo patterns. Last, spsp will have 50% or more white. These are typically considered "parti". As a general rule, parti is more than 50% white and will often have a broken color pattern down the back. There are however, exceptions to this. Abstract colors are often a result of a dog carrying one parti gene. Its important to remember that not all abstract carry parti and not all parti carriers have abstract markings. The D locus in dogs is a dilute gene. Silvers are thought to be caused by the D locus and that they are a recessive gene. This can be controversial also. A dd locus will result in a modification of the base color of the dog the D locus has. This turning a black dog silver, etc. There are varying degrees of sliver. The D gene will produce blues, charcoals and lilacs. Merle Now that we have discussed most other colors, we can now talk about the Merle pattern on a dog. The merle gene is extremely complex and just as controversial. Merle is a coat pattern with varying shades of blue/black or brown/red. It comes from the Allele M. In order to get a mere allele you need a dominant and recessive trait to produce this pattern. This is the merle allele (M) and one copy of the non-merle allele (m). The merle (M) allele is an incomplete-dominant (sometimes called a semi-dominant gene as well) gene, meaning it only takes one copy of the M allele to produce a merle. This mean that every merle dog has one copy of the merle allele (M) and one copy of the non-merle allele (m). In other words, every merle dog has an Mm genotype and every non-merle dog has an mm genotype. The term incomplete dominant means that one allele does not completely dominate another. When it comes to the merle gene, depending on which two alleles are inherited by each puppy, it can create an intermediate expression or a completely distinct pattern. There are now 4 Merle Scales. I have listed them below. Each scale rate the length of these Alleles differently. Depending on the scale used, there are either two, four or six different Alleles for M. Mc, Mc+, Ma, Ma+, M, Mh. Each Allele has a numeric value to gauge the level of pattern shown on the coat. This is the length of the Allele. The two distinct differences between the different scales is that the first 3 when compared with the “langevin et al” scale, the 4th is based on phenotype AND breeding results. The breeding results include HOMOZYGOUS result. The first 3 scales have only included heterozygous dogs in their research. m Non-Merle Wild Type Mc Cryptic Merle 200 - 230 bp Mc+ Cryptic Merle + 231 - 246 bp Ma Atypical Merle 247 - 254 bp Ma+ Atypical Merle + 255 - 264 bp M Merle 265 - 268 bp Mh Harlequin Merle 269 - 280 bp #1 - scale includes only 2 alleles, Mc and M, from a paper published in 2015, "Milushova et al". The length of the two alleles was set using the old testing method and based on phenotype. Dogs 252 bp and below were most likely to express no Merle pattern. Those 253 and above either had a noticeable Merle pattern or where starting to show signs of an unusual coat shading or faint pattern. #2 - scale as set by Paw Print Genetics "Ballif et al" including 4 alleles, Mc, Ma, M and Mh based on phenotype, with Ma starting at 247 bp which was a number already set by Biofocus with the help of Dr. Helena Synková in 2011. This leaves the Mc extending as far as 246 bp. #3 - scale from the "Murphy et al" (Dr Clark) paper including 4 alleles with Md (equivalent to Ma) starting at the same number as scale #1's M allele of 253 bp based on phenotype. This leaves a gap between Mc and Ma with Mc possibly extending to 252 bp. M and Mh overlap. NOTE - this paper uses T length numbers, I have converted them to base pairs for easier comparison. #4 - scale as defined by "langevin et al" with 6 alleles - Mc, Mc+, Ma, Ma+, M and Mh Here is the different Merle Allele length scales. These are the Merle Phenotypes: m/Mc No Merle pattern, no change to coat color or pigment shading. No eye color change. No pigment is deleted to white. Mc/Mc No Merle pattern, may express as no change to coat color or pigment shading. Alternatively, there may be a slight change to coat color – pigment may express as faded or off-color or a slight brownish hue may express that is not related to b/b, especially for long coated breeds. No eye color change. No pigment is deleted to white. m/Mc+ No Merle pattern, no change to coat color or pigment shading. No eye color change. No pigment is deleted to white. Mc+/Mc+ No Merle pattern, may express as no change to coat color or pigment shading. Alternatively, there may be a slight change to coat color – pigment may express as faded or off-color or a brownish hue may express that is not related to b/b, especially for long coated breeds. No eye color change. No pigment is deleted to white. m/Ma No Merle pattern, may express with no change to coat color or pigment shading. Alternatively, may show a diluted coat expression even when d/d is not present and/or a brownish hue may express that is not related to b/b. May express with a lighter undercoat especially on longer haired breeds. Lighter shaded areas may be visible on ears, neck, under tail and tail area. Blue eyes can be expressed. No pigment is deleted to white. Mc/Ma No Merle pattern, may express with no change to coat color or pigment shading. Alternatively, may show a diluted coat expression even when d/d is not present and/or a brownish hue may express that is not related to b/b or express with a lighter undercoat especially on longer haired breeds. Lighter shaded areas may be visible on ears, neck, under tail and tail area. Blue eyes can be expressed. No pigment is deleted to white. Ma/Ma Most often diluted in color even when d/d is not present and/or a brownish hue may express that is not related to b/b, more diluted background shading with smaller and fewer areas of darker spotting. Blue eyes can be expressed. No pigment is deleted to white. m/Ma+ Merle pattern is muted, not crisp and clear or as well defined as some breed standards may require, most often diluted in color even when d/d is not present and/or a brownish hue may express that is not related to b/b. Alternatively, some dogs may express with no Merle pattern, no dilution and no change to coat color or pigment shading. Blue eyes can be expressed. No pigment is deleted to white. Mc/Ma+ Merle pattern is muted, not crisp and clear or as well defined as some breed standards may require, most often diluted in color even when d/d is not present and/or a brownish hue may express that is not related to b/b. Alternatively, some dogs may express with no Merle pattern, no dilution and no change to coat color or pigment shading. Blue eyes can be expressed. No pigment is deleted to white. Mc+/Ma+ Often diluted in color even when d/d is not present and/or a brownish hue may express that is not related to b/b, more diluted background shading with smaller and fewer areas of spotting. As the base pairs of Ma+ progress closer to M, a more noticeable Tweed patterning may be present, larger areas of solid pigment may show. Blue eyes can be expressed. Some pigment may be deleted to white as the base pair numbers of Ma+ progress closer to M. Ma+/Ma+ Most often diluted in color even when d/d is not present and/or a brownish hue may express that is not related to b/b. More diluted background shading with smaller and fewer areas of spotting. Tweed patterning may be present. Blue eyes can be expressed. Pigment may be deleted to white. m/M Classic Merle pattern – random areas of the coat are diluted to a lighter pigment, creating a combination of areas consisting of a diluted color mixed with areas of full pigmentation. Blue eyes can be expressed. No pigment is deleted to white. Mc/M Random areas of the coat are diluted to a lighter pigment, creating a combination of areas consisting of a diluted color mixed with areas of full pigmentation. Tweed patterning may express. Blue eyes can be expressed. No pigment is deleted to white. Mc+/M Random areas of the coat are diluted to a lighter pigment, creating a combination of areas consisting of a diluted color mixed with areas of full pigmentation. Tweed patterning may express. Blue eyes can be expressed. Some pigment may be deleted to white. Ma/M Often referred to as “Patchwork” with large areas of solid pigment mixed with areas of more diluted background shading with smaller and fewer areas of darker spotting. Tweed patterning often expressed. Blue eyes can be expressed. Some pigment often deleted to white. Ma+/M Most often diluted in color even when d/d is not present and/or a brownish hue may express that is not related to b/b. More diluted background shading with smaller and fewer areas of spotting. Extended white out of normal Irish Spotting pattern – up legs, past shoulders, white head often noted (seemingly not related to the “white-head” gene). Blue eyes can be expressed. Pigment can be deleted to white. M/M Random areas of the coat are diluted to a lighter pigment, creating a combination of areas consisting of a diluted color mixed with areas of full pigmentation most often mixed with varying amounts of white. Blue eyes can be expressed. Pigment can be deleted to white. Mh The Mh allele has a broad range of phenotypes with 2 expressions that are very recognizable. #1 - “Minimal Merle” - a large percentage of the body features solid colored pigment with only small random areas of Merle patterning. Individuals may also express extended white out of the normal area of the typical Irish Spotting pattern – this may include a large white collar, white up legs past the elbow, white past shoulders extending onto withers and white on the belly extending up the side. This extended white is sometimes associated with S/sp - (Piebald Carrier), however many m/Mh dogs with this type of white pattern have tested as S/S. #2 - The more classic pattern that is often referred to as “Herding Harlequin” - Random diluted areas of Merle pigment are deleted to white, leaving solid patched areas that may be Tweed patterned including different shades. Some Merle areas may remain. The extended white patterning mentioned in description #1 may be present but is less noticeable due to the deleted white areas on the body. #3 - Some dogs may express more as m/M, yet are still able to produce offspring with a phenotype as described above in example #1 and #2 - these offspring have inherited the same length of base pairs as the parent and yet express in either of the 3 ways presented here. Mc/Mh, Mc+/Mh, Ma/Mh, M/Mh and Mh/Mh allelic combinations are phenotypically indistinguishable and present one homogenous phenotypic group. Of note, M/Mh and Mh/Mh may express with a greater percentage of white over the body. * Scale1. (Murphy Et Al) Base pair ranges that correspond to the four varieties of the merle phenotype: Note, there are gaps between cryptic/dilute and dilute/standard cryptic (212 - 242 bp), dilute (253 - 261 bp), standard (265 - 273 bp), and harlequin (268 - 292 bp).” * Scale 2. (Paw Print Genetics)200 – 246 Cryptic - Most cases are non-merle but in rare cases may have very small merle patch(es) or subtle color anomalies. 247 – 264 Atypical - Most cases show a significant shift from normal coat color often giving a diluted color, show reddish undertones, or have an otherwise atypical merle appearance. 265 – 269 Classic - Most cases show classic merle with a significant amount of merle color and pattering, although some cases may only show a minimal amount of merle. 270 – 280 Harlequin Most cases display patches of multiple shades of the same or different colors without white (tweed) or with white (harlequin) and are often referred to as patchwork. Their scale of “Cryptic” 200 - 246 bp includes both our Mc and Mc+ alleles, which can express different phenotypes when homozygous and also when inherited with different length alleles. The Mc allele as set with Vemodia at 230 bp will not delete pigment to white when combined with M. However when Mc+ is combined with M there is the possibility of pigment being deleted to white in the Merle pattern which some breed standards do not allow and could be a concern for impairments. Two Important distinctions comparing PPG to Langevin here are m/Ma does not create a Merle pattern whereas m/Ma+ can. Ma/Ma will not create white in the Merle pattern whereas Ma+/Ma+ can delete pigment to white. There can also be anomalies when it comes to genetics. Sometimes small area of that presents on a puppy can be a pigmentation and in fact is not minimal merle. This is caused by the Mc allele. This phenotype is commonly seen in breeds where "Whitehead" is common. Double Merles …. When a merle is bred to another merle, you get two merle alleles (MM). This is called a double merles (or double-dapples). What most don’t know, is that a double merle doesn’t look like a merle. They usually have a lot of white on their coat or can be almost pure white. The fully pigmented splotches are much smaller and the background color is much whiter. Is it possible to breed a Merle to a Merle. The long answer is Yes. IF you know what you are doing and do it correctly. the combination of Ma/Ma can not delete pigment to white so no risk of hearing or vision impairments. There is No deletion of pigment from Ma/Ma But a Possible pigment deletion with Ma+/Ma+. Most Breeders practice the NO breeding merle to merle. This is the safest route for most breeders who do not fully understand all there is to the merle genetics. Breeding a merle to merle if to done with the incorrect dogs who carry certain merle alleles can result in the dog having hearing loss in one or both ears. Having even a single M allele actually increases the chance of being deaf. However, the chance of an Mm merle (one parent is a merle and the other one is non merle) being bilaterally deaf is still less than 1%. The presence of two M genes, however, significantly increases the chance of deafness in the dog. Double-merle dogs also often have microphthalmia. This is a condition in which the eyes are abnormally small (sometimes even being barely there) and often nonfunctional. Essentially they are blind. They may also have abnormal pupils. It isn’t fully understood why this happens with the merle gene. Scientists believe that it's possibly due to the fact that the merle mutation affects melanocytes, the cells that produce melanin pigment. Melanocytes are found not only in the skin but in the eye and inner ear. They are also found in the bones and heart.which combinations of two Merle alleles can delete pigment to white and therefore come with the risk of hearing and/or vision impairments? Out of the 28 possible Merle allele combinations there are 14 that have the ability to delete pigment to white. This means that 14 combinations of the merle alleles from mating a merle to merl can result in a double merle with significant health issues. Mc+/Ma+, Ma/Ma+, Ma+/Ma+ Mc+/M, Ma/M, Ma+/M, M/M, m/Mh, Mc/Mh, Mc+/Mh, Ma/Mh, Ma+/Mh, M/Mh, Mh/Mh Note - the Mh allele can delete pigment even as heterozygous.

These will be F1bb mini/moyen Bernedoodles. This means they will be medium in size and low to non-shedding. **PLEASE NOTE! All puppies can inherit genetics from multiple generations which includes genetics from the Bernese Mountain Dog and a poodle. For this reason, we can not guarantee size or coat quality. Your dog's diet and exercise can also have a big effect on their weight & health. Future liters will be announced here. Our next litter is coming soon! March of 2025. Vet confirmation will come in February. This will also give us an idea on litter size.

Education on Bernedoodles, their coats, colors and generations. Bernedoodle Coats Generations, & Colors When it comes time to pick out our new puppies, it’s always exciting to choose our favorite colors and patterns. There is such a wide variety that it can be almost overwhelming. So what are they all? Well, coat colors very much come into play with specific genes that dogs carry and what generation your puppy is effects this as well. Understanding Furnishings & Curl It important to understand the role that furnishings play in a doodles coat. Furnishing genes determine the type and look of the coat as well as wether or not it is a shedding coat or not. Bernese Mountain Dogs carry zero furnishing genes, have no beard and have both a top and undercoat. Poodles carry two furnishing genes. They have beards (most people shave a poodles face when it is groomed) and endlessly growing hair. It takes two of these genes to create the non shedding coat in a dog. Furnishing genes are dominant (also called an allele), so it takes just one copy of this gene to present long hair on the face in a mixed breed puppy. So if a Bernedoodle inherits only one furnishing gene, it will look like a doodle but can still shed like Bernese Mountain Dog. Here, The furnishings gene masks the expression of the recessive unfurnished gene that a lot of doodles still carry in their genome. In order to create the non shedding coat, we then have to breed back in the second furnishing gene. There are three identified furnishings alleles: Strong Furnishings (F), Weak Furnishings (Fw) and unfurnished (f, also known as IC) - dominant in this order. Dogs coats with weak to no furnishings have also been called improper coats. Another way to think of this is the more FLOOFY your dog is all over, the more non shedding they likely are. Keep in mind that ALL dogs can shed some hair. The myth that the curlier any dogs coat is, the less it will shed is simply not true. For example a curly coated retriever sheds horribly. Rather this is determined by genetics. The cure one is an incomplete dominant gene. A dog that is +/+ for curl is a curly dog like a Poodle. A dog that is -/- for curl has a straight coat like the BMD. A dog that has both + and - can express a wide variety of curly to straight. This is because the curl gene is incomplete dominant which allows there straight gene to control the amount of curl. The curl genes inherited by each puppy and each generation of doodle contributes to the type of coat each puppy inherits. Bernese Mountain Dogs can carry one curl gene, giving them a slight wave to their fur, whereas Poodles carry two curl genes. All F1s will inherit a total of one copy of the curl gene allowing their coats to be wavy in general. In puppies of deeper generations who inherit two curl genes, they will exhibit a coat similar to a Poodle’s coat. For those puppies who inherit no curl genes, their coats will be straight to slightly wavy. On the flip side of this, a doodle with tight or strong curl coats are harder to maintain because their coats are much harder to keep from matting. Often those with very curly coated dogs will groom their hair shorter to help alleviate this. Shedding Gene Last, let's talk about the shedding gene. This area of genes is identified as the Shedding Locus. The shedding Locus has two known alleles: SD (+, shedding) and sd (-, non-shedding), dominant in that order. A dog that is +/+ will shed. Bernese Mountain Dogs are +/+ shedding dogs. Dogs that are -/- for shedding will not shed (or very low shed). Poodles are -/- for shedding (or should be). The shedding alleles (+/-) have a similar relationship with each other as the curl alleles. The dominant SD allele (+) is an incomplete dominant, so it will allow the recessive non-shedding allele to take over so to speak. So a dog that has a genome of +/- will likely shed, but how much will depend on the furnishing genes present as the overall quality of the coat. Notice that curl does not factor a large amount into a shedding coat. Where as all the genes we discussed here factor into a dogs coat, the shedding factor has much more to do with the furnishing and shedding gene. So putting these things together, in order to get a non shedding (or low shedding) puppy, we need to breed parents that are homozygous negative for shedding and homozygous for Furnishings (FF). This virtually non-shedding dog would be FF, sd/sd (or -/-) on their respective loci. These genes can be inherited in any combination in a single puppy. Puppies inheriting two furnishing genes will likely be non-shedding. Puppies inheriting one furnishing gene will have reduced shedding most likely equal to an F1 Bernedoodle. Those inheriting no furnishing genes will have coats very similar to a Bernese Mountain Dog (a smooth face and heavy shedding.) All three coat types are possible in an F2 generation as well – straight, wavy, or curly. Bernedoodle Generations Now that you understand how the genetics of a dog play into its coat, let's talk about the generations of a dog. A doodles generation factors into what genes it can or can not inherit. An F1 Bernedoodle is a first generation. This means that a Bernese Mountain Dog was bred with a Standard Poodle. Most first generation Bernedoodles will come in a tri-color, making them look much like the Bernese Mountain Dog, or they will come in black and white. Sometimes you will see a phantom tri-color phantom or even a brindle pattern. Their coat can be straight or wavy as their genetics can take after either parent. This means that they can inherit hair that continues to grow (furnished) or fur that continually sheds (unfurnished). Dogs that have hair that continuously grows will need constant grooming. For anyone with allergies, it is not recommended to get a first generation doodle. An F1b is F1 Bernedoodle that has been bred back to a poodle. This generation typically has the wavy or curly coat. It is also more likely to be hypoallergenic. However you can still end up with a pup here and there who doesn’t have the non (or low) shedding coat meaning its genetics took more after the Bernese in its line. Second generations are typically highly sought after for the non (or low) shedding coats and atypical coat colors. An F1bb is a F1b Bernedoodle that has been bred back to a poodle. These dogs are 50% likely to inherit two furnishing genes and possibly two curl genes. This means they are more likely to have a wavy/curly & non (to low) shedding coat. These are typically highly sought after for uncommon coat colors and the hypoallergenic aspect. This is a great generation for allergy sufferers. Multi Generational Doodles are any generation F2 and beyond. A multi-gen is any doodle that has been bred by two doodles. Most of these generations are much harder to predict furnishings and shedding genes. An F2 is a second generation (Multi generation) Bernedoodle. This means that two F1 generation Bernedoodles have been bred together. It can also be a breeding between and F1 and an F1b. This makes the coat type and hypoallergenic factor hard to predict. The genetics of these dogs can take after either parent or grandparents, meaning the may not have the wavy/curly hair and they may shed. Each puppy from an F2 liter has equal chances of inheriting zero, one, or two furnishing genes as well as zero, one, or two curl genes.These genes can be inherited in any combination in a single puppy. Puppies inheriting two furnishing genes are usually non-shedding. An F2b is a multigeneration Bernedoodle that has beeb bred back to a Poodle or bred back to a Bernese Mountain Dog. When bred back to a poodle, the coat type on this generation is likely to be more wavy/curly and low to non shedding then an F2 generation. If bred back to a Bernese Mountain Dog, the coat is more likely to be unfurnished and shed. However this generation can still be very unpredictable when to comes to coat type and allergens. An F2bb is multigeneration Bernedoodle bred from an F1bb Bernedoodle and an F1 Bernedoodle. They can possess slightly more poodle genetics but it all depends on breeding and what was crossed. These crossings can be unpredictable when it comes to furnishing and shedding genes. An F3 is a third generation Bernedoodle bred from an F2 to another F2. These are puppies with unpredictable genetics so most often are not bred. It is not recommended to those with allergies to consider an F3 multigenerational doodle. Coat Colors Now that we have learned how genetics play a roll in the coat of your new doodle, we need to understand that genetics also control what color your puppies coat will be. For simplicity sake, we are only going to cover the basics as a dogs genetics have so many different pieces. A dogs color genetics are called a Locus on a genetic test. Basic terms to understand when it comes to color genetics are these: A capital letter means it is a dominant trait, ex. For a Black dog you will have a capitol B = dominant. A lower case letter means it is a recessive trait, example for a black dog you will have a lower case b = recessive. Genetic carrier (Carrier), means that the dog has an inherited recessive trait that it does not display, but can pass on to offspring. Black- Black Colored Dog Chocolate- Brown Colored Dog White, Creme, Apricot or Red- White, Creme, Apricot or Red Colored Dog, but could have either Brown or Black pigmentation. Phantom - Phantom dogs usually have two colors, one base color and small areas/markings of another color. Typically this is Black or Brown with rust/tan. Picture a dobermans coloring and markings. Phantom Bernedoodles have have a base coat of black with brown on all four legs, chest, checks, and eyebrows. Either a Black Dog with Tan/Silver points on face, inner legs, chest and under tail or a Chocolate Dog with Tan points on face, inner legs, chest and under tail. A Phantom dog will have little to NO white markings. Brindle - Brindle is a coat color pattern in a dog. It looks much like a tiger stripping. Brindle colors are either blue based brindle or a red based brindle. Blue based is typically Black with light colored (typically a tan, brown or reddish color) tiger striping over the body. The Red Based is more brown with light colored (sometimes even tan/tiger striping over the body. This can be in varying degrees of light to dark coloring. Brindles can be solid brindle, brindle with the white of the Bernese Mountain Dog , or Brindle abstract. Sable - Sable is a coat color represented by black-tipped hairs on a background of any solid color, with no particular pattern/location designated for such hairs. Sable hair follicles are very unique. Each follicle can often have as many as 3 different colors. Sable Bernedoodles can be fully sable or have the white of the Bernese Mountain Dog. Sables are most typically Brown/Tan & Black. Most often sables will have fading to a lighter tan or silver body, with dark tips only remaining over time. As a puppy you will see the lighter color coming into the coat as the base of the hair. Tri-Color - A tri-color Bernedoodle is a mostly black and white dog with red/rust marking above their eyes, on the sides of their cheeks, sometimes on their legs and bottoms below their tails. Tricolors may or may not have white on the face or may have a limited amount of white. Traditionally, tricolor Bernedoodles look much more like a Bernese Mountain Dog. Tricolors can also have a full white mask. Parti - A Parti Doodle means particular color. It is a dog with a white background and another predominate color. Parti’s can be any color but always have white markings. Parti’s have MORE than 50% white on their coat. Bi-Color/Abstract - A Bicolor dog is described as having two colors. This can include a single coat color (brown, black, red, or blonde) accompanied by white markings on the face, chest, feet, and tail or small white patches on the chest, snout, or toes. This is also known as abstract. Abstract dogs typically have white markings present on the face, chest and/or paws of a dog on 50% or LESS of their bodies. Silvers (or Silver Beige)- A Dog that started out as Black or Brown and faded over time. This usually starts with the tips of hairs or the points becoming silver hair. It can also start in patches and not be all at once. Example-This can be seen a lot with Sheepadoodles and any other dogs with the fading gene. Merle - Also known as a dapple. Merle is irregular blotches of fur set on a lighter background of the same pigment. Solid black on gray (called blue merle) or solid brown on tan (red merle). Blue and partially blue eyes are often seen with the merle pattern, as well. For more information on Merles, please see the merle genetics page.

We are a smaller family breeder of quality bred, healthy Mini Bernedoodles (mini means medium in size). These puppies are raised in our home with our family. All parents are Health tested. Puppies will come up to date with vet care and vaccinations up to 8 weeks old, microchipped and with a care package. They are able to go home at 8 weeks of age. Puppy Information Puppy Ba sics 101 Puppies are the most adorable animals and easily steal our hearts. Parenting a new puppy, however, is not always easy. Puppies will definitely challenge you and your rules as much as a human child will. I created this guide in order to help. When the time finally comes to bring your new puppy home for the first time, you’ll need to remember that this will be a significant lifestyle adjustment. There WILL be accidents to clean up. You’ll have to puppy proof your home, like you would baby proof, and you’ll have to adjust your schedule to a newborn puppy. This is going to be much like a human baby including being sleep-deprived . As you'll soon learn, a growing puppy needs much more than food & snuggles to thrive. I promise that while it may be a lot of work initially, it's more than worth the effort! Establishing rules, healthy habits and enforcing good behavior in those first few weeks and beyond will lay the foundation for a well rounded adult dog. Find a Good Vet The first thing you need to do is set up a vet appointment with your current or new vet of your choice. It's wise to figure out what vet you would like to use before bringing your puppy home. If you are unsure, reach out to local groomers, dog walkers and pet parent friends. The only public place you and your new puppy should venture out to, is to the vet for a checkup. This needs to be done with one 3 days of taking your new baby home. I highly suggest making this appointment in advance. Although your puppy has passed their very first health inspection, we want new owners to take their pup in right away. Its crucial to your puppies health to set up a good vaccination plan. This visit will help you take the first steps toward a good preventive health routine. Make the Most of Your First Vet Visit Puppy parents often have many questions about their new family member when visiting the vet for the first time. It's common to forget these questions. I suggest writing down a list of important questions for your vet ahead of time. If you are planning on switching your puppies food to another brand, discuss this with your vet in an effort to minimize your puppy having an upset tummy. Setting up a vaccination plan with your vet is crucial to the well being of your dog. During your first visit you can discuss safe options for controlling parasites, both external and internal, and make the best decision based on advice from your vet. Ask your vet about when they feel it is best that you should spay or neuter your dog. After your puppies initial shots are completed, your dog will then need yearly shots. A good source on learning about the vaccines needed and offered is: https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/health/puppy-shots-complete-guide/ The chart below is a comprehensive look at the vaccine timeline. This is what you can discuss with your vet as far as when to get shots and which shots are best for puppy. You will also have to comply with State Laws regarding vaccinations for dogs. Shop for Quality DOG Food Your puppy's body is growing rapidly. It is critical that your puppy has a quality food to help it grow properly. Selecting a food formulated for puppies instead of adult dogs is vital. We recommend a high-protein, smaller kibble puppy food (sometimes the smaller kibble is harder to find with large breed formulas) with a meat-based protein. I do recommend getting a large Breed formula based on the breeds of your puppy to aid in the proper growth of their joints and bones. Create a schedule for your puppy to eat. This will discourage picky habits and bad behaviors.Schedules are very good for puppies much like a human child. Feed at regular times in regular amounts and don’t leave food down for more than 10 to 20 minutes. Recommend feeding Times per day for the first year: Age 8 weeks-6 months - 3 meals per day 
 Age 6-12 months - 2 meals per day 
 After 12 months - 1-2 meals per day 
*Always check what your vet's recommendation is for your puppy *We feed our puppies Canidae Large Breed Lamb (All Life Stages) mixed with Science Diet Puppy for Large breeds. This helps with the growth of bones and joints, as well as proper body development, in breeds like the Bernese mountain dog and standard poodle. * You can switch to adult food for the dog at your vet’s discretion or one year of age. Establish a Bathroom Routine When starting the journey to house train your puppy, it is very important that you remain patient, and give your puppy plenty of positive reinforcement. Puppies naturally respond better to positive encouragement rather then negative angry reactions. It's probably a good idea to put a floor/carpet cleaning plan in place because accidents DO happen.
Until your puppy has had all of her vaccinations, its best to find a place outdoors that is inaccessible to other animals. This helps reduce the spread of viruses and diseases, like Parvo and Giardia. Give lots of positive reinforcement whenever your puppy does go potty outside and make sure to reward with a heathy treat. I always encourage people to word train as well. Dogs are very good with learning words. They can learn between 165-250 human language words. Use a marker word such as Yes or Good (it can be anything you want but be consistent with it.) when your puppy performs the wanted or good behavior. So in this case you would happily exclaim “GOOD potty outside” and give the treat at the same time. This teaches the puppy multiple things at once. Of course as equally important, refrain from punishing her when she has accidents indoors. Your puppy will have no idea what you are punishing her for. Also remember that puppies can NOT hold their bladders for long. A good rule of thumb is an hour per month of age. So at 8 weeks old (2 months) your puppy can hold it for roughly 2 hours, 3 months for 3 hours, 4 months for 4 hours etc.
Knowing when to take your puppy out is almost as important as giving her praise whenever she does eliminate outdoors. The most common times to take your puppy to potty are when you: 
*When you wake up & Right before bedtime. 
*Immediately after, your puppy eats or drinks a lot of water. Sometimes they may need a couple of minutes before going potty.
*When your puppy wakes up from a nap. 
*During and after physical activity. 
* * *If your puppy is peeing several times an hour, was previously doing well with potting mostly outside but suddenly that has changed, this can be a sign of a UTI. These are VERY common in young puppies. Take your puppy to your vet for treatment. Watch For Early Signs of Illness For the first few months, puppies are more susceptible to illnesses & diseases that can be serious if not caught in the early stages. If you observe any of the following symptoms in your puppy, it's time to contact the vet. 
 Lack of appetite 
Poor weight gain 
 Vomiting 
 Swollen or painful abdomen 
 Lethargy (tiredness) 
 Diarrhea 
(Soft stool can be normal the first week or so from the stress of re-homing & especially if you changed puppies food.
) Difficulty breathing 
 Wheezing or coughing 
 Pale gums 
 Swollen, red eyes or eye discharge 
Nasal discharge 
 Inability to pass urine or stool 
 Or any other changes in behavior that are alarming Teach Obedience Puppies have unique personalities. Remember that bringing your puppy home can be overwhelming for both of you. Your puppy now has to learn not only a new home but a new family. Establishing rules for the puppy to follow as well as everyone in the house when it comes to the puppy is critical in helping your puppy adjust. This will help to provide consistency for the training of your puppy and to establish expectations. Furthermore, by teaching your puppy good manners, you are setting your puppy up for a life of positive social interaction with everyone involved. In addition, obedience training will help forge a stronger bond between you and your puppy. Teaching your pup to obey commands such as sit, stay, down, and come will not only impress your friends, but these commands will help keep your dog safe and under control in any potentially hazardous situations. Many puppy owners find that obedience classes are a great way to train both owner and dog. Classes typically begin accepting puppies at age 4 to 6 months. If you are unsure of where to start with training, I suggest you reach out to friends and family to see who they recommend. You can even ask your vet for good recommendations. *Tip: Keep it positive. Positive reinforcement using small treats, has been proven to be vastly more effective than punishment. Vocal praise has been known to be just as effective! Be Sociable Just like obedience training, proper socialization during puppyhood helps avoid behavioral problems down the road. Remember you don’t want to take your puppy in public to often before all his shots are completed. Socialization classes are an excellent way to share positive social experiences with your puppy. Just be sure to ask your vet what kind of interaction is okay. Most socialization classes will take place during your puppy classes. Often times larger interacting classes will occur around the age of 16 weeks after most puppies have completed their final shots. At this time, it's generally ok to start puppy daycare which can also help with socialization. Remember the Adjustment Rule When you first bring your puppy home, remember the 3 3 3 rule. In order to fully adjust to its new home, new people/family and new routine, it takes time ! People often expect a new puppy to adjust in a few days. This just isn't how it happens. It takes a puppy: 3 Days to decompress & not feel overwhelmed or scared. 3 Weeks to feel comfortable enough to be themselves and let their guard down. 3 Months to feel a sense of security and gain trust.
