If you are considering adding one of our pups to your family, here are the steps to take to get started! Please feel free to email us with ANY questions. We are happy to answer anything you may want to ask.

First, Learn About Bernedoodles!
I have had dogs my entire life along with being around family and friends dogs and I truly believe they are all wonderful. But, some fit a families needs, different than another does. For example, Doodles are GREAT if you have allergies as most do not shed. Now, if you are looking for a farm dog, they are not good for that! They are amazing around kids, love being with their family, and very friendly. Also being intelligent helps with training, and they have better health than the breeds they come from. They are energetic, but not as hyper as some other breeds. They are of course a dog and all dogs take work, training, and being consistent with their needs. This is especially true when they are puppies. Feel free to ask us any questions so we can make sure these dogs are a good fit for your family!


Second, Join Our Waitlist
We do require a $100 fee to be on our waitlist. (we do it this way as its a lot of work to keep track of names, make sure they are in order, plan for who is getting a pup and how many extra spots we have, sending updated pictures etc. Some people lack manners and then ghost us after all that work. This helps people take it more seriously) It is nonrefundable but can be moved to a different litter one time. It is subtracted from your deposit total when you reserve a puppy. When we are ready to go through our waitlist, it is in order of who joined. Each person is given a time limit to pick their pup on selection day, and then we move on to the next person in line. We do offer live video calls to select your pup along with pictures and videos. Email us to join our wait list peppermintroseranch@gmail.com (This only applies to future litters. If we have current pups for sale you do not need to join the waitlist) Wait List Contract

Third, Reserve Your Puppy!
Make sure you have filled out our puppy application and sales policy prior to reservation day. We usually allow pups to be reserved at 3-4 weeks. We will give you a day ahead of time that we will start, and on that day you have 4 hours once we reach out, to pick your puppy. After that time we go on to the next person on the list. If you wish to be moved to another litter, your waitlist fee allows for one move. If you wish to pass, your waitlist fee is non-refundable. (we do this simply because taking pictures, reaching out, keeping you updated, and then having you on our list is a lot of work so we have learned by requiring a fee, people take it more seriously).


Fourth, Start Getting Setup For Pup!
Line up a vet and have an appointment for your pup within 48 hours of bringing them home (this is required for our health policy to stay intact). Begin setting up a safe place for your pup such as a crate or play pen. We love washable puppy pads for this! Gather some safe puppy toys, stock up on the recommend food we give you, and don't forget things like a collar, harness and leash! We also highly recommend a puppy training class as they help both you and your on the right foot! Puppies are a lot of work and can be crazy if not given time to exercise so learn, learn, learn before brining one home. They are a family member and no matter what, should NEVER be rehomed! Please do not get a dog if you can't promise it forever. Its a family member and we don't rehome family members! 

Fifth, Pick Up Puppy!!!!!
Puppies can be picked up when they turn 8 weeks of age. We will arrange pickup day usually 1-2 weeks prior as long as they are weaning and doing well. Each puppy comes with the age appropriate shots and worm medicines along with a vet check up. We do the 5 way shot at 6  and worm meds every 2 weeks starting at 3 weeks of age. Remember pups are delicate until fully vaccinated so PLEASE do not take them to dog parks, stores, etc where they could catch germs. Pups MUST be picked up on the designated day or boarding fees will apply. If pups stay and requires next round of vaccines and worm meds, an additional fee will also be applied. Any health certificates or additional documents will be at the expense and responsibility of the buyer.

We do not ship (thus are not knowledgeable on airline requirements so if flying its up to the buyer to work all that out) but do work with a few approved puppy transports.

Your puppy will come home with a goody bag which includes care tips, potty training guide, food, toys and blankets with their siblings smell. We also start them on potty training along with being use to some crate time. Our goal is making the transition as easy as possible. We adore our pups so hope you will send us pictures and videos so we can watch them grow!
