How do I reserve a puppy?

You can begin the process of reserving your very own Honeybee’s Mini Bernedoodle puppy by submitting your information on the home page “Let’s find your perfect puppy today”. You are welcome to contact us via phone call, text, FB Messenger, or at Honeybeesminibernedoodles@gmail.com to answer any additional questions you may have. We are very friendly and love to talk about Bernedoodles and puppies.

If we both feel like it is a good fit — and you are certain that we are the breeder for you — we ask that you send in your $500 puppy reservation fee. This fee is deducted from the total price of your puppy and is non-refundable — however it is transferable twice to a future litter if you have to back out of choosing a puppy from the available litter(s).

How does the puppy selection process work?

When the puppies are around 6-7 weeks old, puppy selections begin in the order in which puppy reservation fees were placed. We will send a notification 3 days prior to puppy selection as a heads up to puppy selection day. We will be contacting you via text message, unless you prefer another method, when it is your turn. If you choose to pass we will then move onto the next person. It is imperative that you respond within 2 hours after being notified of available puppies otherwise, we will have to keep moving down our list. Notifications will be sent out between the hours of 9am-6pm MST, Monday-Saturday. This is to be respectful of all people in different time zones.

What is your pricing and policies?

Our pricing is comparable to every other reputable, ethical Bernedoodle breeder in the U.S. whose breeding dogs have been chosen from an excellent AKC pedigree; DNA tested and clear of all genetic health variants (we use GenSol), and are using Early Neurological Stimulation and Early Socialization Protocols. Our pricing information is as follows:

  • Our puppies have had their first round of de-worming, vaccinations, and a complete vet health examination.

  • We require a $500.00 non-refundable puppy reservation fee from all families and individuals who are serious about a puppy from our upcoming litter. Please note, the reservation fee is non-refundable; however, is transferable twice to a future litter if you have to back out of choosing a puppy from the available litter(s).

  • Puppies will be reserved in the order in which we received your deposit.

  • All puppies come with a two-year genetic health guarantee. Our puppy contract, which will be emailed to you, must be signed by both parties before you pick up your puppy or in person at the time of pick up.

  • Our puppies pricing is as follows:

    • $2500 for all puppies

  • Puppies must be picked up and or delivered by 8 weeks old.

What will my puppy come with?

All Honeybee’s Mini Bernedoodles will be vet checked and go to their forever homes with:

  • First round of vaccinations

  • Vaccination and de-worming record

  • A small blanket with their mom’s and siblings scent

  • A puppy packet with helpful info

  • A small toy

  • A small bag of puppy food (if not already using Diamond Naturals Large Breed Puppy Lamb and Rice formula) so you can transition to the food of your choice

  • Micro-chipped

  • A two-year genetic health guarantee.

  • Dewclaws removed

  • and more…..

Can I come visit the puppies?

The bio-security of our home, as well as the physical safety of our puppies, dogs, and human children are of utmost importance to us. While we wish we didn’t have to worry about viruses (or even theft and harassment) we have to be wise, so we have put security measures in place. Additionally, it can become very taxing on a family to have visitors coming and going for each litter. For these reasons, I’m sorry to say that we don’t allow visitors into our home. Before COVID-19, there was already a concern for breeders of people inadvertently bringing in Parvovirus, which is often deadly to puppies and incredibly difficult to eradicate. Now with COVID-19, plus a new mystery kennel cough/pneumonia virus that arrived at the end of 2023, we have to be extremely careful. Puppies don’t receive their first round of vaccinations until about 7 weeks old. However, I will regularly post both videos and photos about our dogs and puppies on our Instagram page (@Honeybeesminibernedoodles). That way, forever families waiting for their Honeybee’s Mini Bernedoodles will stay apprised of the puppies’ progress.

Honestly, we have never selected any of our dogs by visiting in person. By working with reputable breeders who take excellent care of their pups and do socialization—and by garnering their advice on personality and temperament of the pup’s parents and the pup we have been so blessed to get outstanding males and females. And since we do Puppy Culture, all of our puppies will have the social and neurological advantage over a puppy that was not raised with Puppy Culture.

Do you ship puppies?

While it is our desire that future forever families pick up their puppies, if necessary, we can arrange for a Flight Nanny at an added cost to deliver your puppy anywhere in the lower 48 states. In our opinion, a Flight Nanny is a much better option than shipping a puppy because your puppy will get to accompany his or her Flight Nanny on the airplane, in an airline approved-carrier under the Flight Nanny’s seat, rather than in the cargo area of the airplane. So that is why we do not offer puppies to be shipped through cargo services. We offer flight nanny for $1000 (this takes care of flight, puppy and travel cost). Also, meeting you at Denver International Airport and personally handing you your puppy and your swag bag is definitely an option. For final payment we would prefer either Zelle and or cash/money order. For Nanny services all fees and final cost must be paid prior to flight. Otherwise, final payment is due at time of delivery if not flying.
