Waiting List Fee: This is a fee to hold your spot in line to be contacted about an upcoming litter of puppies, and possibly move to the reservation list of a litter when we have one. Your Waiting List Fee is applied to the total cost of your puppy, so it is not lost in any way unless you do not end up getting a puppy, as it is non-refundable. Although it is non-refundable, it is transferrable, so you can move any Waiting List Fees that you have to any other litter of puppies. So, for example, if you put down two Waiting List Fees, one for a Standard F1 and one for a Miniature F1, we will contact you when we do a breeding of both Standard F1 puppies and Miniature F1 puppies. At that time, if you decide that you would like to go ahead and get a Miniature F1, you can move your Waiting List Fee from the Standard F1 list to the Miniature F1 list, and all of the money that you have paid will go toward the total cost of your Miniature F1 puppy. Waiting List Fees are $100 for each list.
Deposit: This is the payment that we take when we have a litter of puppies born, and people from the waiting lists decide that they would like to move to the Choice List, to move forward with getting a puppy from that current litter. The deposit holds your place in line to choose a puppy from the current litter. We do not do full deposits until we have a litter born, and any Waiting List Fees can be applied to a deposit for your puppy. So, in the same scenario as above, when you move to the Choice List for a MIniature F1, you can choose to apply both Waiting List Fees to your Deposit, and you would only owe an additional $100 for a full deposit to be paid. Or, you could leave your Waiting List Fee on the Standard F1 list to hold your place if you think you might want one at a later date, and just pay the additional $200 to complete the full deposit on your new Miniature F1 puppy. Deposits are non-refundable, and are a total of $300.
Total Payment: We do not require any additional payments toward your puppy until the time of pick up. At pick up, payment can be made via cash, check, debit card, PayPal or Apple Pay. There are various fees for using debit, PayPal or ApplePay, so most people opt for cash or check. Final payments can vary. Our price list for our different generations of puppies is as follows:
Standard F1 Bernedoodle: $2,500 + 7% Indiana Sales Tax
Standard F1b Bernedoodle: $3,000 + 7% Indiana Sales Tax
Reverse Standard F1b Bernedoodle: $2,750 + 7% Indiana Sales Tax
Standard F1 Great Bernedoodle: $2,750 + 7% Indiana Sales Tax
Miniature F1 Bernedoodle: $3,000 + 7% Indiana Sales Tax
Miniature F1b Bernedoodle: $3,500 + 7% Indiana Sales Tax
Tiny Bernedoodle: $4,000 + 7% Indiana Sales Tax
Bernese Mountain Dog: $3,000 + 7% Indiana Sales Tax
Training Costs:
Full Beginning Training (puppy goes home at 12 weeks): the puppy is started on crate training, a house-training schedule, and is taught the commands "sit", "down", "come", "stay", "shake", and "kennel", as well as beginning their leash training. The training is itemized and graded, and there is no fee for any training that does not receive at least an average grade. If the puppy does well on all training, the total cost is $1,700.
Primary Crate Training/House-Training Schedule (the puppy still goes home at 8 weeks): we work with the puppy to become accustomed to going into a crate, and being separated from their siblings. They begin a house-training schedule, and we work on both crate and house training from the time they are 7 weeks until they go home at 8 weeks. This does not provide the same level of training as the Full Beginning Training, but it does give them a good springboard for their life in their new home. This training is $700.
Delivery Fees:
We are absolutely willing to meet our puppies' new families at the Indianapolis Airport. However, we do not ship puppies, so the puppy has to fly home in a carrier, in-cabin with their new owner. We put a lot of time and love into our puppies, and are not comfortable with the stress that would come from traveling in the cargo area of the plane, alone for the first time. If you are flying, it is up to you to work out the details with the airline, and to let us know anything that you may need from us (Health Certificate, etc.). There are a lot of airlines, and we do not know the details of flight travel for all of them. Bringing your new puppy to the Indianapolis Airport carries no additional fee.
Car Delivery: In many cases we are able to offer delivery either part of the way (to shorten your trip) or all of the way to the puppy's new home. This is available on a first-come first-serve basis, and is only available if we can work it into our schedule (though we will make every effort to do so). For this service we charge $0.67 per mile.
