Bernedoodles, Australian Bernedoodles and Aussie Mountain Doodles are all the perfect companions for people with allergies.
We breed three types of coats Unfurnished, Fleece and Wool – all low to non-shedding.
For people with allergies we will always recommend a wool coated puppy.
At Bernedoodles Australia we pride ourselves on providing the best genetically sound puppies possible.
All parents have a clear DNA genetic disease profile, are hip and elbow x-rayed/scored by a specialist.
We also import from Canada and USA from the best fully tested lines.
All our breeding dogs live in a loving home with their hand picked Guardian families. We love our holistic approach to our Guardian Programme, as we believe that every single dog deserves a loving family. Our dogs sleep on someone’s bed, are raised around children and are an integral part of a loving family.
We believe dogs should never live in a kennelled environment.
If you live near or within the Southern Highlands NSW and are interested in knowing more about our Guardian Programme please feel free to reach out.
Our puppies are all born in our wonderful home environment with enrichment and socialisation from day one.
They have constant interaction with other animals and children. We love them to be exposed to the every day sounds and environment of a normal household, with loads of love and attention.
There are several reasons why we recommend isolating your puppy to your household/ yard until their second vaccination.
Our main concern is Parvovirus – This virus is highly contagious and spreads through direct contact with an infected dog, by indirect contact with a contaminated object and surfaces. Your puppy is exposed to the parvovirus every time he/she sniffs, licks, consumes infected feces and walks on contaminated surfaces.
Please DO NOT take your puppy out until 10 days post 2nd vaccination! This includes places like puppy school! Your puppy has minimal immunity to diseases like parvo until they are fully vaccinated, or at least have that second vaccination.
Your puppy comes with his/her first vaccination, wormed, microchipped, sterilised and vet checked.
You will receive a puppy pack which will include assorted items depending on availability, as well as all relevant paper work and information to help make puppies transitioning to his/her new home as smooth as possible.
We use several modes of transport to make sure international and interstate families can become puppy parents to one of our beautiful pups. Due to covid, prices may vary. Transport quote and options will be provided to successful EOI applicants.
UPDATE:
Because of covid we have had to put international puppy travel on hold – This is only temporary. We hope to be sending our beautiful babies to eager families in Hawaii, Asia and New Zealand soon. Please be patient.
Visitation is reserved for families already allocated a puppy.
We totally understand how exciting it is to meet your puppy in person. However, due to high biosecurity risk mum and pups are in quarantine until a week post 1st vaccination – Then you are more than welcome to visit your pup.
Bernedoodles Australia has the puppies health as our number one priority and we thank you for your understanding.
