​Here at Walnut Valley Puppies our goal is to provide puppies with good temperaments, great looks, and ultimately in great health! While we can not guarantee what color or gender each litter will produce, we can help you get a good idea of what to expect based on previous litters. We have general goals of how many litters we would like to produce and then rely upon heat cycles and dam body mass index to be exceptional before we breed. If there are concerns for the health of our dams, we won't breed them during that heat cycle. Our general goal is to produce approximately 10 litters of F1 Mini bernedoodles, 2-3 litters of F1b mini bernedoodles, and 2-3 litters of Standard bernedoodles on an annual basis.
At this point the approximate wait time for each breed is, F1 Mini Bernedoodle = 20-30 months, F1 Standard Bernedoodle = 16-22 months, F1B Mini Bernedoodles = 16-22 months.
These numbers are approximate and can vary significantly based on the many variables in our puppy life. We only breed our females if they are healthy and ready for pregnancy. Even then, there is no guarantee that they will have puppies, or how many they have if they do get pregnant.

Our Reservation List is for future litters (Unborn puppies) and current litters with puppies that have been born but are not old enough to be picked out yet. (Puppies are picked out at 5 weeks old) To be placed on the list we require a $500.00 deposit. This deposit is made on our Purchase 1-2-3 page.  Once you have been pre-approved and subsequently deposited, you will be placed onto the Reservation List (see list below). Deposits are 75% Refundable and can be refunded for any reason. There is no way that you can know for sure that we will have a puppy for you in the future, and we understand that. We fully respect your decision if you find a puppy elsewhere or change your mind for any other reason. In such a case we would refund 75% of your deposit. ($375.00 on a $500.00 deposit) After you pick a puppy the deposit becomes completely non-refundable. Reservations are honored in order of deposits placed.

When you place a deposit for a future litter your name is placed on the list on a "first come, first pick" basis. When puppies come, we update the website within a few days with details of the litter. We take pictures of the puppies when they are several days old, at 3 weeks old, and then again when they're 5 weeks old. Once the puppies are 5 weeks old we will take updated pictures and videos of each puppy and then start on top of the Reservation List and let people pick out their puppies. We can help you with your decision by taking videos and/or via a FaceTime call. (If you would like to see the litter in person before making a decision, you will have to visit the puppies when they're between 4 and 5 weeks old) Once it's your turn to pick, you can choose an available puppy OR decide to skip your turn for that litter and wait for a subsequent litter, at which time you would likely have a higher pick.

We will be contacting you via text/call (unless you prefer otherwise) when your turn is getting close and if you choose to pass we will then move onto the next person(s). It is imperative that you respond within 4 hours after being notified of an available puppy of your interest. Otherwise, we will have to keep moving down our list. We ask that you keep an eye on our website as well as our Facebook and Instagram pages for current and upcoming litters. (As well as the box below) If you don't respond to our text and/or email notification of currently available puppies then we assume you will want to wait. In such a case we will hold your spot on the Reservation List and continue moving down the list to others waiting on their turn. You may opt out of as many litters as you would like! You do NOT lose your spot on the list by choosing to wait on a future litter.

As stated above, any deposits made will be 75% REFUNDABLE until a puppy is picked out. After a puppy is picked out the deposit will be NON-REFUNDABLE.

ATTENTION! We reserve the right to keep any puppy from any litter for breeding purposes.

We will keep all our current and upcoming litters posted here. If you are on the list, keep an eye on this page for upcoming litters and to see your spot on the list. Also mark your calendars with the "Starting the selection process" date so you don't miss us when it's your turn to pick a puppy. Remember, you might get a chance to pick out a puppy sooner than what your spot on the list indicates. For example, if there are 10 puppies in a litter and you are at #12, you may get a chance to pick one of the puppies in that litter if the people ahead of you decide to wait for a future litter.
