From puppy selection to pickup day—we’re here to make every step smooth, transparent, and joyful.
How do I reserve a puppy?
Start by filling out our Puppy Application. Once approved, you’ll be invited to place a deposit to secure your spot on our reservation list.
How much is the reservation fee?
Our standard reservation fee is $1,000 and is applied toward the final puppy price once approved. Approved breeder reservations require a $2,000 breeder reservation fee and may place the breeder in second or third pick position. Lolli’s Bernedoodles always reserves first pick.
How much do your puppies cost?
Our Bernedoodle puppies are priced at $4,500. There is no difference in pricing based on size, color, markings, coat, or other characteristics.
What’s included with my puppy?
Every Lolli’s puppy goes home with a vet check, vaccinations, deworming, microchip, a blanket with mom & litter scent, starter food, and our 1-Year Health Guarantee. Plus, we offer lifetime breeder support.
When can I bring my puppy home?
Puppies go home at 8 weeks old. We’ll schedule pick-up or delivery as your puppy’s go-home date approaches.
Do you offer delivery?
Yes, approved families may have access to delivery options including flight nanny service, ground meet-up by vehicle, or meeting at a Florida airport. Delivery is an additional cost and is not included in the puppy price.
Do you allow families to see the puppies before selection?
Families on the confirmed Reservation List may participate in a virtual Zoom visit when puppies are approximately four weeks old if they desire.
What’s the difference between F1, F1B, and multigen Bernedoodles?
Great question! We explain all of this on our What Is a Bernedoodle? page.
Are your dogs health tested?
Yes! All of our breeding dogs are genetically tested for common breed-specific conditions to ensure the health and longevity of our lines.
Do you offer a health guarantee?
Absolutely. We provide a written 1-Year Genetic Health Guarantee with every puppy. Read more on our Health Guarantee page.
Do you recommend pet insurance?
Yes! We partner with Trupanion to offer 30 days of free coverage when your puppy goes home. It’s optional but highly recommended.
How do I prepare for my puppy?
We’ll send a full shopping checklist after your reservation. You can also visit our Recommended Products page to get a head start.
Do I need to apply before placing a reservation fee?
Yes. Every family must submit a Puppy Application before being approved for a reservation spot. We carefully review applications to ensure that our puppies are placed in homes prepared for the responsibility, cost, training, grooming, and lifelong care of a Bernedoodle.
Are all applicants approved?
No. Not all applicants will qualify for one of our puppies. Our priority is placing each puppy in the home that best fits the puppy’s needs and the family’s lifestyle.
Do Bernedoodles require professional grooming?
Yes. Bernedoodles require regular coat maintenance and professional grooming approximately every 6-8 weeks. Grooming often costs $100-$200 per visit depending on size, coat condition, location, and groomer pricing.
Do you test every puppy with Embark?
Our parent dogs are Embark tested. Puppies receive veterinary care and a veterinarian health certificate before going home. Individual puppy DNA testing is only provided when specifically performed and documented.
How do you help families choose the right puppy?
We use temperament observations and the Badass Breeder Aptitude Test process around seven weeks of age to help guide families toward a puppy that fits their lifestyle, goals, and home environment.
Can I choose based only on color or gender?
Color and gender preferences can be considered, but we strongly encourage families to prioritize temperament and fit. The right match should be based on the puppy’s personality, needs, and compatibility with your home.
