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. Puppy’s Age Recommended Vaccinations 6 — 8 weeks Distemper, Parvovirus, Bordetella 10 — 12 weeks DHPP (vaccines for distemper, adenovirus [hepatitis], parainfluenza, and parvovirus) Influenza, Leptospirosis, Bordetella, Lyme disease (as recommended by veterinarian) 16 — 18 weeks DHPP, Rabies, Influenza, Lyme disease, Leptospirosis, Bordetella 12 — 16 months DHPP, Rabies, Coronavirus, Leptospirosis, Bordetella, Lyme disease Every 1 — 2 years DHPP, Influenza, Coronavirus, Leptospirosis, Bordetella, Lyme disease Every 1 — 3 years Rabies (as required by law)

Bringing home a new puppy. What to do and what not to do. Things to Do & to Avoid when first bringing your new Puppy Home. In order to protect your growing puppy's delicate health, there are many precautions you can and should take starting from the moment you have your puppy in your arms. As the breeder, Whimsy Doodles has been taking many of these precautions from the moment these puppies were born. Diseases such as Giardia and Parvo can be EASY to contract and hard to get rid of. These viral diseases can live on surfaces for 5-6 months . Some of these diseases can also be fatal if not treated early. Here are some things you can do to protect your puppy from these diseases: 1. Don't take the puppy out to public places such as pet stores, other stores or parks that allow dogs or put them in public grassy spots until after they have had ALL of their vaccinations. 2. Do not let people handle your puppy until 10 days after their final vaccines, usually around 16 wks.This is because people can carry these viral diseases on their clothing (and shoes). You never know if someone has had an ill pet or been in contact unknowingly with another animal who is carrying these diseases. It is also to protect you and your puppy from people who may get overly upset about being scratched or nipped by a very young puppy. 3. Do NOT buy toys from a pet store that lets dogs/puppies come in and try toys out. This is a HUGE risk of contracting Parvo. I have witnessed people allowing their dogs to lick and chew on toys and then throw them back on the shelf for someone else to buy. I always recommend washing any toy you purchase . 4. We keep our puppies on a schedule when it comes to feedings.Its recommended not to change this schedule much for the first 2 weeks. 5. Do NOT plan to pickup your puppy during a very busy time. Instead, it's highly recommended to pickup your puppy at a time when you have or can take a few days off work to let the puppy acclimate. It's important that they have someone home with them. 6. Remember that your contract requires a Vet checkup within 72 hrs after pickup. Its highly recommended to schedule this is advance of your puppy coming home. 7. The first three weeks are the hardest for your new puppy. It's very important to Remember the 3*3*3 Rules for puppies. (See Graphic below.) Just remember to give them time. Giving up and trying to rehome them (contract states Breeder is to be contacted first) is actually very scary and bad for the puppy. 8. Remember that jumping is really bad for a growing dogs joints and development. Practice the no jumping rule: no stairs, no jumping off anything including beds, decks, porches, in or out of cars for at least the year. 9. Do not let smaller children carry the puppy around or anyone that may be under the influence. So many bad things can happen with either scenario. If your child wants to hold the puppy, have them sit down to do so and stand near them at all times. This is also to protect your child. 10. Do not allow your puppy on furniture until it can get on and off the furniture on its own. A simple fall like this on the floor can do immeasurable damage. Puppy Preperation List: These are items you should purchase in advance and wash before use •10-14 inch flat collar, or appropriate size for your puppy's neck. (typically people start with a small size and move up as needed.) •6ft lead (no flexi lead leashes ever.) •15ft long line lead for training (can be found on Chewy & Amazon) •2 stainless steel puppy bowls (no elevated food bowls). Stainless Steel helps to keep white facial hair on dog's white. Its also healthier than plastic. •Training Treats (anything soft, small & healthy) •48 inch crate (no collars ever on while crated) •Puppy toys (no stuffed toys or anything they can tear apart and swallow except when supervised) • Kong brand chew toys. •Puppy Shampoo & Conditioner •Nail clippers.You can buy these online on Chewy or on Amazon. •Dog bed. Make sure to get one that is washable. •Baby gate or Indoor fencing (if needed). • Bladder Bites by Zesty Paws. (To help prevent UTI’s) Quick Vet Tips Do’s and Don’t’s: • 1st vet appointment- most often they want you to take a fresh stool sample. This is normal as your vet will want to test for parasites. • 1st vet appointment- DO NOT let your puppies feet touch the ground at the vet. The vet is a dirty place and you don’t know what potentially sick animal just walked in before your puppy who is not fully vaccinated. •Ask for either Heartguard chewables or Interceptor Plus. ***It is NOT recommended to use the all in one Heartworm, Flea/Tick/Parasite med to your puppy. This is prescribed by a vet but has killed puppies before •Do talk to your vet about the best practice for adding additional vaccinations such as Leptospirosis or Lyme disease. The most important thing, is to do the core vaccinations. (Parvo, Distemper, Adeno virus, Parainfluenza..core puppy vaccinations). •NO all-in-one pills for heartworm, intestinal parasites and flea/tick. These have sadly taken many dogs lives. Of course your puppy/dog needs all of these preventatives, however it is best to be given not in an all in one pill. Many of these all-in-one pills cause serious side effects. •There are natural repellents to help prevent or get rid of fleas and ticks, aside from medications. I highly recommend Wondercide Flea & Tick. You can purchase it on Amazon. •It is highly recommended to NOT spay/neuter your dog until they are adults. Some Vets will push for spay/neuter at 6 months of age. Simply let them know that you will not be spaying/neutering until they have reached maturity and the growth plates have closed. This is usually 12 months of age. For large breed dogs such as the Bernese Mountain Dog, this can be 18-20 months old.

These are the necessary things you will need to raise a puppy. Recommended Items for your New Puppy & Things your new Puppy will come home with. (not everything shown on this page will be sent home by us, many are just recommendations.) Top Grooming Products We Recommend And Use Ourselves. Cowboy Magic Shine In Yellow-out Purple Shampoo: This shampoo helps to brighten hair of all colors while neutralizing yellow stains. It doesn’t dry out your puppy’s skin and it smells wonderful. It truly works wonders for our white fur babies. Earthbath Oatmeal & Aloe Conditioner: This helps to detangle while relieving itching. This is great for all dogs but especially those with allergies, itching, and dry skin. It is non toxic, paraben and sulfate free, phthalate free, phosphate free, dye free, and soap free. We love the conditioner to this as well. Nootie Skin & Coat Solutions Sweet Pea & Vanilla Whitening Conditioner.

It naturally brightens and whitens the coat while removing stains.

The Chris Christensen Collection of Slicker Brushes: These are a line of high-quality grooming brushes designed to penetrate deep into your pet's coat to remove tangles, mats, and loose hair without causing discomfort or damage to their skin caused by impacted matting. T This brush works through dense coats all the way to the root. They work great to: detangle and remove knots in long and difficult to manage coats & to get down to the root and remove hard-to-reach undercoat. It helps to thin and separate hairs throughout the coat creating lift and volume. he collection includes various sizes, from "Baby" to “Big”. Typically this brush is available in 3 different sizes and a few different styles. You can choose the size & style that's best suited for your pet's coat type and size. It is widely used at dog shows and is highly regarded among professional dog handlers, groomers, and exhibitors. The brand is known for its high-quality grooming tools. Please make sure to use the appropriate size for the size of your dog. It’s also a good idea to have a Buttercomb on hand to aid you in working through mattes. Curly hair gets tangles EASILY! Grooming Please Understand that all Doodles will require Grooming by a professional. Since your Doodle has hair that continuously grows, it will need to be brushed several times a week to prevent mattes as much as possible, When doodles gets mattes, they become painful to their skin as it pulls and pulls the tighter it gets. Mattes can also cause all kinds of other skin conditions of not treated properly. Regular professional grooming will be needed for their lifetime starting after your puppy has had ALLLLLL of their shots (usually the is 16 weeks of age). This is NOT cheap. Most grooming start around $75 for a medium/moyen/mini sized doodle. Larger sizes cost more. The cost of grooming your doodle will also increase with the more matting it has. Other Puppy Necessities A crate: Metal sided is preferred as puppy’s can chew and scratch easily damaging the plastic ones. The crate is going to be your number one training tool! This is the safest place for your puppy when you can't be watching him and it will keep your furniture, shoes, and electronic devices out of harm’s way! We recommend something like the MidWest Puppy Play pens with a 1" grate on the bottom. These types of pens have a removable metal tray on the bottom to catch accidents and spills. This way if puppy does have an accident, they will not be stepping in their urine or feces and will stay clean. Just simply line the trays with newspaper or puppy pads. This can relieve a lot of the stress in the potty training process. Plus, you can put a bed in them for the puppy’s comfort. It doesn’t need to be any particular brand, just make sure it is safe and the right size for your puppy. You do not want your crate to be to large when they are little. When buying one that can grow with your puppy, you will want one with a moveable divider to section of space so puppy wont go and potty in another area. Puppy Play Pen: A puppy play pen (as pictured above) is nice to have to connect to the crate, so he can have some room to exercise while you are away. To do this, you simply place the Play pen surrounding the crate and leave the crate doors open. If you don't opt to buy one of these or do not have the space, then you can enrich their time away from you by giving them a frozen Kong treat. To do this, simply fill the Kong toy with some Dog safe peanut butter or Plain Greek Yogurt. Once it is full, you put the Kong it the freezer until frozen. It is recommend to do this ahead of time. Baby gates/Indoor fencing : These gates are great tools for sectioning off your home and keeping your pup in certain areas of your home! They also enable you to keep track of her when you can not watch them at every minute. A lot if times you can “kill two birds with one stone” here. The above style Playpen also serves as an indoor fence allowing you to section off an area of your home. The often are very diverse in the shape and size you need. Paper Towels: Lots of them! Accidents happen! Rags you don’t care about will also work! Just know that you will be cleaning up accidents. Puppies do not do this to make you upset. They are so small that they can NOT old their bladders for long. Think of a human baby trying to hold their bladder at 2 months of age….or even 6 months. It hard for them to learn. They will eventually get it with consistent training and patience. Pet Stain and odor remover: Nature's Miracle is a wonderful product, It is a bacteria based formula which produces enzymes to target pet stains. It works great and is tough on dog urine, feces, vomit, drool and other organic stains and odors. It has a light scent so it wont over power your nose. It is safe for use on carpets, hard floors, furniture, fabrics and more when used as directed. I now that there are many different brands on the market today. It is an ever revolving door of pet supplies. This is a good thing as you'll find that pet-specific cleaning products come in handy long after your new puppy is housebroken. Puppy’s food: We will provide your puppy with a small amount of the food we feed. I choose to feed a mixture of Canidae Real Salmon & Ancient Grains (All Life Stages) & Wellness Complete Health Large Breed Puppy food. Royal Canine is another brand I recommend. We strongly recommend feeding soaked kibble until 12 weeks old. Many choose to do it for the lifetime of the dog. If you are planning on switching puppy’s diet, please do this slowly! There are so many changes going on in your new puppy's life right now. Drastically changing his diet will cause an upset stomach and diarrhea. (This happens to all dogs at any stage of life when changing their food but especially to already stressed out puppies.) Slowly wean him off his old diet by mixing new food in with his old food in small amounts. Gradually increasing the amount of the new food. Please ONLY feed your new puppy, Puppy food specifically meant for dogs. Day 1: 75% old food, 25% new food Day 2: 70% old food, 30% new food. Day 3: 60% old food, 40% new food. Day 4: 50% old food, 50% new food. Day 5: 40% old food, 60% new food. Day 6: 25% old food, 75% new food. Day 7: 100% new food. Food and Water Bowls: Bowls are often a fun thing to pick out for your puppy. There is a lot of controversy about whether or not to have a raised dish. Current science states it is NOT recommended. However it always best to speak with your vet about this as BLOAT can be a big problem for deep chested dogs. This being said, I always recommend a weighted dish for both food and water. It often comes in handy with puppies who like to frolic in their bowl. Or who just want to knock their dishes completely over so mom and dad can play the pick up game! Poop bags: Start collecting these in advance, you are going to have lots of puppy poop to pick up. Some people like to recycle those plastic grocery bags to do this. When your puppy has finally had all of its shots, you will finally be able to go for walks. For this it is wise to get one of those poop bag containers that attach to your leash. Identification: All of our puppies will come microchipped to us. Make sure you register your puppy's microchip and the microchip ID as SOON as you get home. Although she already has it implanted, the number won't lead her back to you until you register it. The ID number is found her vet inspection document and also on a card included in the folder. The microchip company usually has a onetime, reasonable fee for this service. We don't want to risk even a moment of puppy being without some form of identification! We also recommend adding a tag to your puppy's collar with a scannable QR code or engraved contact information. Please remember to remove the collar when your pup is in her crate- it is a choking risk to leave it on. Contact a reputable trainer: I can NOT stress this enough! Please contact a reputable dog trainer and enroll your puppy into puppy classes. This will greatly enrich the bond between you and your dog. Truthfully it will help mold your dog into the wonderful family member you dreamed of having. Trust me when I say this is NEVER without a lot of hard work. It will also greatly reduce the frustration with your dog when you go with to the puppy classes because they teach you how train your puppy at home and in public. Remember training a dog is a marathon, not a sprint. Puppy safe toys: The toys that are deemed safe for dogs are always changing. Please ALWAYS watch your puppy will they are playing with anything. Kongs are by far one of the safest brands. However even a strong chewer can break these toys. *IMPORTANT* any small parts or squeakers on any toy can be chewed off and swallowed. This can not only be a choking hazard but it easily can become a BLOCKAGE in your puppies intestines. This is an emergency requiring surgery to fix IF you catch it on time. Bernedoodles and Poodles are both notorious for their infamous love of socks and underwear. Please be very vigilant about not letting your puppy/dog snatch and eat these things. This is again why I stress indoor leash training. This also helps to prevent your puppy from eating things they shouldn’t that can cause a blockage. What we send home with your New Puppy: The day your new fur baby comes home is such an exciting and memorable day. Your puppy comes with all required vet vaccinations until 8 weeks old. They all have dew claws removed. (Sometimes the dew claws do grow back. If this happens, it will be your choice to remove them during spay/neuter or leave them alone. We do not cover the cost.) We as your breeder will be sending you home with a bag filled with a few items. 1. Vaccinations & Deworming - Your puppy will come dewormed & with all vaccinations required up until the age of 8 weeks old. This will be reflected on your puppy vet record. This will show all of your puppies deworming and vaccinations received prior to going to their new homes. You will also receive a certificate of health from their vet appointment prior to going home. When you get home with your new puppy, it is now your responsibility to ensure the health of your puppy throughout the rest of its life. We require that you take your new puppy to your vet within 3 days of leaving our care & arriving to your home. 2 . Reusable Whimsy Doodle Tote Bag- All puppy items we are sending home will come in a reusable custom made bag that you can use for other things in the future. These are great bags to use when you travel or even for the grocery store. These make excellent bags for the beach! 3. A Microchip- Each puppy will go home Microchipped . This is service I provide to protect my puppies from ever ending up in a shelter. Please make sure to contact the microchip company and add your information ASAP. 4. A Blanket- Your puppy will be coming home with its very own fleece blanket. These blankets have been exposed to your puppies mom and liter for their smell. This is to help your puppy adjust when going to its new home. These blankets can be washed however I would wait at least a week or two until your puppy has adjusted without his mom and liter mates. 5. Toys- I am sending each puppy home with TWO toys. One is a small Kong meant for chewing. I use the same toy here for your puppy while growing up with mom so they will be familiar with it. The second toy is a larger toy made by the Kong brand. Please always watch your dog while they interact with any toy to make sure they are not swallowing pieces/parts they shouldn’t be. 5.Puppy Food- I send each puppy home with a small bag (a weeks worth) of the food we food feed, Cani dae Real Salmon & Ancient Grains (All Life Stages) & Wellness Complete Health Large Breed Puppy Food mixed together . This is to ensure that you can switch puppies food slowly if need be. If you are not switching puppies food to a new brand, then you can simply add what we provide to what you have a ready purchased. 6. A Binder- Your puppy will also be going home with a binder filled with lots of information about new puppies and your puppy. It will also hold a copy of your contract that you have already signed. 7.Poop Bags- 1 Bag of small bags specifically made to collect poop when in public. 8.Snuggle Puppy- * New this year.... I have decided to add a Snuggle Puppy to each Puppy bag. 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. 9.Treats- * New this year.... I am adding in a 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 food I provide. * * * * * I do not provide collars, leashes or harnesses, crates, playpens or any grooming necessities. These will all be the responsibility of the new pet owner as is any future veterinary needs. It is the buys responsibility to educate themselves on the needs of puppies and how to protect them once they leave my care. What NOT to do when going home with your new puppy . Once your puppy leaves my care, the responsibility to protect this puppy falls to the new owner. We all know how exciting it can be to get a new puppy and we want to show them off to the world. However one of the worst things you can do is start exposing your puppy to a bunch of public places and new people who can carry diseases. When you leave with your puppy, it is HIGHLY recommended to never put your puppy down on grass in a public place. Lots of people take their dogs in public. Those dogs can carry diseases and unintentionally spread them. (they are protected with vaccinations themselves but can still carry them. However, it isn’t just other dogs (or animals in general) that carry & spread these diseases. People can also carry deadly diseases on their clothing, the bottom of their shoes or even hands. Instead when you take your new puppy in public, use disposable potty pads to place on the ground so they can potty if you can not wait until you get home. It's best to avoid contact with the ground at all. When going to public places, keep your puppy in a carrier on your body and DO NOT let others have contact with your puppy without proper precautions. (Clean fresh clothes that haven’t had contact with other pets/animals, shoes off and hands washed.) People in public that you do not know/trust can look with their eyes. Best practice is to leave your new puppy at home until he has had all of his vaccinations. Remember that diseases like Parvo can live on surfaces (including outdoors) for 6 months to a year.
