Doodle clearance! These pups were bred for excellence, with great genetic health and personalities...the best we've ever produced. But, as much as I admire them, I cannot afford to house ten dogs for the rest of their lives and keep a clean house and an in-tact marriage. I need help!

I understand everything is going up in price and funds are tight. We also are trying to pay off debt and these pups were expected to help with that.

So, I am open to offers. What you get is a gentle and loyal companion especially if you are blessed to be the new family for Twix or Snickers. You also get medical records, genetic and family records if interested, a lifetime of support, kibble, and a spay/neuter contract.

Snickers is a gentle giant and Twix is a slender sweetheart, taking much after her dad.

Oreo, Kat, and Reese are spunky ladies who love to explore and play everywhere. They would be great hiking buddies. (Kat is a good hunter too.)

I have had offers to "take them off my hands" but I am a firm believer in what is gifted is not appreciated as much as the things that you have a personal investment in. Put some skin into the game. Responsible breeders put a lot of money, time and energy into their programs, loving on their dogs to the detriment of their families sometimes. This is one of those times. Call or message now. Spread the word!

Bernedoodle Foster pups adventure

08/16/2025

Today was a nice break from the high temps. The littles and I spent a lot of the day outside. When I wasn't working around fragile plants, they tagged along. We surveyed the back field, picked some peppers (they shouldn't have helped with that) and greeted the Fed Ex guy. He clearly wasn't a dog person. His loss.

Even though feeding them all is a challenge, they are a delight to have around until they have permanent homes.

None of these pups has a bad personality trait. Oreo and Reese are a little more outgoing than the rest, Kat is smart and sneaky. She will get the chewy the second it's abandoned. Snickers is a gentleman but even he has his limits when Twix or Reese enjoys a bone right in front of him.

While working in the tomato house, I can hear the neighbor's lab pups making so much noise as they do nearly every day. So I peeked in the doodle yard and they're all just listening...or napping. No hyperactivity at all. That's good genes!

We are building our wait list for Bernese Mountain Dog pups and it's filling up. These will likely be BIG dogs, so no minis with this litter. The sire is over 130 lbs and has produced big, beautiful pups in the past. (pictured) Fortunately, size slows a pup down, (we've even seen that in our doodles) but it also means they must not overeat or overexercise.

What are Big Bernese good for? Glad you asked.
1. Playmates
2. Body pillows
3. Door stops, especially after age 3
4. Hiking buddies
5. Sled and cart pullers. Afterall, they are working dogs.

Some things Big Bernese dogs are not good for...
1. Running partner
2. Swimming (there are exceptions)
3. Playing catch
4. Being stuck in an apartment all day (they need less exercise than other breeds but still need to get out a couple hours each day)
5. Herding (they're better at scattering)

Snickers is the only male left and he's content to be a homebody. However...we went for a short drive to expand his horizons. It's been a while since I've had time to spend with him and several weeks since his last drive

He was hesitant to get in the big truck but he didn't fuss once we got going. He will be a traveling pro in no time.

Even though Snickers is the smallest of the four boys, he is not small. He takes after the Bernese in build, a stocky fellow with large paws and a kind soul. He's also the only male to be a predominate bi-colored doodle.

If you think Snickers might be a good addition to your family, reach out today. He needs a consistent home life with lots of attention initially. His character traits are loyalty, a quick learner, responds well to correction if given in a calm but firm manner. Right now he is still small enough to be scooped up when he gets scared of something new, which is rare. He is a sweet boy around everyone and likes dogs too!

He comes with a 1 year genetic health guarantee, vaccination/deworming/vet record, bath and nails trimmed, and a bag of kibble to get him started. Message if interested.

It's the dog days of summer and EVERYONE comes inside today. Guess I'll be dusting tomorrow.

Kit has gone home today!
He will be SO loved. I am excited to hear about his journey.

Believe it or not, the time for a planned Bernese litter is right around the corner. THIS is the breed on which our foundation is built. This fall, we do not own a mature male to take Maverick's place, but I have been contacted by a local breeder of a male who requested to partner with us. Her male is a BIG one and will produce very large pups. He also has a very sweet temperament which is ideal in extra-large dogs.

If you are ready for a big ball of fur this fall, deposits must be made to be on the list. Keep in mind, these are non-refundable so once it's placed, you're locked in. Deposit for first pick has already been placed.

All pups will come with limited registration only, so please keep that in mind. This simply means that he/she cannot produce registrable litters. AKC has plenty of events which pups can partake as a purebred.

Once we get a positive pregnancy, everyone on the wait list will be notified first, then an "Upcoming litter" will be listed on AKC's Marketplace. At birth, Facebook will get an update. So, if you would rather be among the first to be in the know, place your deposit now.

Remember, just because WE are located in Eastern Washington, that doesn't mean YOU have to be to qualify as a pet parent partner.
