Adopting a Puppy
Pricing
Pricing will vary depending on the puppy! We try to stay pretty standard to the below pricing, but may deviate at times for various reasons:
​
Mini Bernedoodle: $4500
Bernese Mountain Dog: $3500
​
Breeding Rights are extra, and vary depending on the pairing. There are also times we do not offer breeding rights. If you wish to breed a puppy you get from us please let us know and we can give you details!
Health Guarantee
Every Puppy from Snowy Desert Bernese comes with a two year health guarantee. This guarantee covers genetic disorders that will threaten the life of the dog or be detrimental to their quality of life. The guarantee doubles as our contract for purchasing a puppy. With this document, we are promising you that you are getting a puppy that is in excellent health, and you are agreeing to provide the pup with an excellent life!
Deposit
We require a $500 deposit to reserve your spot for a puppy. This deposit is non refundable, but it can be transferred to another litter if needed. We have two types of deposits:​
​
Standard Deposit - Standard deposits are taken within confirmed pregnancy. We will add you to our waitlist without a deposit, then when we confirm pregnancy we will reach out to those on our list and give them the option of placing a deposit and securing their pick. Priority Deposits take priority over Standard Deposits.
Priority Deposit - If you are certain you would like a pup, and want a higher pick on the next available litter you may place a Priority Deposit. This puts you next in line for the next litter we have available spots for. These deposits can be placed before pregnancy is confirmed, and will guarantee you a spot in our next available litter.
​
Deposits can be submitted via Venmo, PayPal, or Cash
​
Puppy Selection
When the puppies are born, all families who have placed a deposit on that litter will be notified via email or text. This will include genders. A group photo will be posted on our instagram about a week after they are born. We will post individual photos each week, to help with your selection. We begin the puppy picking process once the pups are 6 weeks old. We pick in order of deposit. Each family who has placed a deposit will be able to either come look at the puppies or we can FaceTime you. Feel free to reach out to us anytime through out this process. Instagram is also your best place to keep up to date with the pups. We are here to answer any questions and make this process as smooth as possible.
Puppy Pick-up
The puppies will be ready to go home at 8 weeks. If you live local we will arrange a time for you to come and pick up your puppy from our home.
​
For people who can not pick up or meet locally we will find a place to drive and meet, or we will fly with the puppy to you. Either of these options will have an added fee. Those families who wish to fly in to get their puppies we are happy to meet you at the SLC airport.
