Young woman with her Bernese Mountain Dog

At Sandy Creek Bernedoodles we believe every dog deserves to have a loving forever home. In order to give all of our breeding dogs the attention, love and care they deserve we partner with local guardian families to help us grow our program. It’s very important to us that each one of our breeding dogs is a cherished family pet.

A guardian family receives the pick of the litter for free, hand picked by the breeder for looks and temperament. The breeder retains breeding rights of the dog for a set number of litters. Each of our guardian home dogs receive extensive health testing, at the breeders expense, to ensure that they meet the strict requirements for our program. The breeder is responsible for health testing and all vet visits related to breeding/pregnancy. The guardian home is responsible for the day to day costs of raising a dog. This is a great opportunity for a family to receive a top quality dog for very little cost. We have the following requirements for all of our guardian families.

Requirements

  • Live near Camas Wa or Portland Or. We occasionally place girls in Tacoma area.

  • Be willing to socialize puppy and teach basic commands

  • Feed premium dog food approved by breeder

  • Must have a fenced in yard and own your home

  • Have previous experience with dogs

  • Provide regular exercise

  • Provide routine veterinary care

  • Female dogs will be dropped off with breeder for the day when in heat. They will return to the breeder about a week before the puppies are due and stay until the puppies are weaned. Most of our female dogs require around age 4. We do a maximum of 4 litters with our girls. We also have an option for guardian families to do whelp litters.

  • Male dogs will need to be dropped with the breeder for the day up to a few times a year. Our studs retire at the age of 6.

Once your pup has fulfilled their breeding contract the dog is spayed or neutered and then remains with the guardian home family for life. If it sounds like something you’d like to do, simply fill out an inquiry form below. We look forward to hearing from you!
