New Puppy Information
Puppies
Our sweet puppies are raised on 12 acres of land in East Tennessee alongside our four kids, chickens, geese, ducks, and several other four legged friends. They are healthy and happy, born to AKC registered and fully tested Dams and Sires with champion lines.
All of our puppies are loved on from the moment they are born, receiving an amazing variety of stimulation and interaction as they grow and develop. Raised among the sights, sounds, and smells of farm life, they are well- socialized from a young age and make wonderful companions to a wide variety of homes, families, and lifestyles. Our puppies are known to be happy, playful, curious, adventuresome and easy to train.
Each puppy will go home with a new puppy starter basket which includes a new puppy informational folder, medical records provided by our veterinarian, puppy food, a toy and a blanket that smells like home. They will be dewormed on a biweekly prevention schedule, receive their proper vaccinations, and see our veterinarian for a puppy well-check before going to their new homes.
Transport
We are glad to assist with the transport of our puppies in order to ensure a safe, stress-free, and smooth journey to their new home. In fact, we consider it a privilege to work with families both near and far. As of our most recent litter, we have Smoky Mountain Berners in 8 different states.
We are big believers in flexibility, compromise, and open communication. As a result, our assistance with transport varies greatly based upon each family’s needs. We have both met with families at a half-way point and brought puppies the entirety of the way to their new home. We are glad to discuss options and work with you as you make decisions on how to bring your new puppy home! Please don’t hesitate to reach out!
If you decide that you do require assistance with transport, it is important to know that we try our very best to transport all of our puppies ourselves. We believe it lends to a more peaceful, secure, and happy transition for all parties (especially our pups!).
FAQ

We believe Bernese Mountain Dogs are some of the best dogs you will ever meet. They are smart, calm, friendly, independent, easy-going, lovable goofballs who are deeply relational and loyal to their people. Practically perfect, right? Sadly, BMDs are prone to varying health issues and have a relatively short lifespan at 6-8 years.
Crossing the BMD with the Poodle has resulted in the creation of a designer dog breed: the Bernedoodle. Bernedoodles have a beautiful mix of the calm, easy-going and loyal demeanor of the BMD as well as the intelligent, sensitive, and playful characteristics of the Poodle. They have minimal to no shedding, better health, and longer lifespans. Their hypoallergenic qualities make it possible for those with dog allergies to have a furry companion in their lives.
Bernedoodles are friendly, social, goofy, playful, affectionate, curious, intelligent and highly trainable with an expected lifespan of 14-17 years. They love people, are wonderful with children, and are happiest when spending time with their family. Bernedoodles are true companions and bring so much joy to everyone around them.

When a new litter of puppies is born, we will announce it on our website and on social media. At that point, we will begin accepting deposits. A deposit secures your place on our list and reserves your position in line to select your puppy. As the puppies grow and develop, we will continue to post pictures and videos of them so that you can observe all of the various personalities, color patterns, and sizes.
At 6 weeks, we will begin puppy selections by contacting each family on our list who have placed deposits in a “first come, first pick” manner. We love assisting families in finding the puppy that would best fit their family, home environment, and lifestyle. However we also recognize that, in selecting their new puppy, families have unique insight by keeping up with our litters on social media! We are glad to Facetime, send individual videos/pictures, and keep lines of communication open to help make the process smooth, stress-free, exciting and joy-filled!

We believe a deposit is beneficial for both parties and therefore strive for a fair deposit process. A deposit lets us know that you are serious in your interest and helps us to accurately gauge availability as we move forward in finding homes for each of our new pups! In addition, it secures your spot in our puppy selection process and reserves your puppy until it is time for it to come home at 8 weeks.
Deposits are made via Venmo or Paypal. We take non-refundable deposits of $100, which comes out of the total cost.

Puppies are priced at $1500.
A $100 deposit via Venmo or Paypal will secure your puppy selection and the remainder ($1400) will be due in cash at pick-up.

Deposits are sent in via Venmo or Paypal. The remaining cost is collected in cash on the day of pick-up.

Worrying about being scammed is a very real and valid concern when looking for a new puppy to bring home. We aim to do everything in our power to make this process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
We have found that puppy scams seem to take hold through a lack of communication. As a result, we strive to be available and transparent with all of the families we come in contact with. We are glad to communicate in whatever method you feel most comfortable with including Facetime, voice memo, text, phone call, or email. We know what it’s like to have doubts, fears, or feel confused when searching for a puppy online. Feel free to reach out and ask us anything. Please communicate any concerns or fears you may have so that we can help you feel safe and excited about bringing your new family member home!
