Frequently Asked Questions

An F1B Bernedoodle is approximately 75% Poodle and 25% Bernese Mountain Dog, produced by breeding an F1 Bernedoodle with a Poodle. Our puppies are sold as non-registered companion pets, without kennel-club registration or pedigree documents. Coat, size, and temperament vary by puppy.

Our puppies receive child socialization and early training in our home. Bernedoodles can be affectionate family companions, but each puppy is an individual. The purchaser is responsible for training, socialization, supervision, and care after pickup or delivery; no future behavior or temperament is guaranteed.

Good Dog describes Bernedoodles as allergy-friendly and low shedding. No dog is completely hypoallergenic, and shedding and allergic reactions vary. We do not guarantee a non-shedding coat or that a puppy will not trigger allergies.

Our puppies are medium size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

Ask about parent testing, the home environment, enrichment, and written purchase policies. Read the actual test reports and contract rather than assuming screening guarantees puppy health. Halo BerneDo is a Good Dog breeder in Greenville, SC; our contract explains our limited pre-pickup assurances and states that there is no health guarantee after pickup or delivery.

We only raise one litter per year, giving each puppy royal treatment. They’re bathed with organic products, trained to use a doggie doorbell, paddle board, and follow basic commands like sit, stay, and come. We also begin leash work early. Each pup is loved as if they’ll stay with us forever—because that’s how great companions begin.

Halo BerneDo is located in Greenville, South Carolina. We serve families throughout South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia. Contact us at 864-201-8499 or halobernedo@gmail.com to schedule a visit or video call.

Pickup takes place at eight weeks old. The uploaded contract for the current litter specifies December 17, 2026. Delivery dates or other delivery and boarding arrangements may be specified in Additional Terms/Disclosures, and the seller may adjust delivery dates with written notice. Use your signed contract and any written delivery notice for your arrangements.

Fill out our puppy application on the Apply page, or contact us directly at halobernedo@gmail.com or call 864-201-8499. We'll ask about your family situation, experience with dogs, and what you're looking for in a puppy. This helps us match the right puppy with the right family when our next litter arrives.

Go-home bag: doggie doorbell, care instructions, grooming guidelines, mother-scented toy. Weekly video updates are provided until eight weeks. Vet visits and deworming are provided; vaccinations follow the option selected in your contract, not an automatic promise of shots for every puppy. There is no health guarantee after pickup or delivery.

Good Dog currently lists a $500 deposit plus a remaining balance of $1,000–$1,700, for a total of $1,500–$2,200 before applicable taxes and fees. Your selected puppy’s purchase price is agreed in your contract. Pricing may change for other buyers but does not change the purchase price already agreed with you. A $500 deposit is due when the contract is signed. It is non-refundable except for the specific refund conditions in the purchase contract. The remaining balance is due in full no later than one (1) day prior to pickup, or one (1) day prior to the date the Seller departs for delivery. Final payment is not due on pickup day or delivery day.

Bernedoodles require regular grooming every 6-8 weeks (professional grooming costs $60-$100), quality dog food ($50-$80/month), annual vet visits and preventative care ($300-$500/year), and toys/supplies. They're considered moderate maintenance dogs—less than high-energy breeds but require consistent grooming due to their coat.

The puppy’s mother was DNA health tested through Wisdom Panel and the puppy’s father was DNA health tested through Embark, and each parent was confirmed to be clear of the genetic health conditions included in the panel used for that parent. The testing screens only for the specific conditions included in those panels and does not guarantee the health of any puppy. The Seller provides no health guarantee after pickup or delivery.

Bernedoodles need moderate daily exercise—typically 30-60 minutes of walking, playing, or activity. They're adaptable dogs that can thrive in various living situations as long as they get regular exercise and mental stimulation. They enjoy hiking, swimming, fetch, and family activities.

Yes! Bernedoodles are highly intelligent (thanks to their Poodle genetics) and eager to please (thanks to their Bernese Mountain Dog side). This makes them very trainable. They respond best to positive reinforcement training. Early socialization and consistent training produce confident, well-mannered dogs.

To reserve a puppy, the Purchaser is required to make a deposit of $500 due upon execution of this contract. The deposit is non-refundable except as expressly provided in this section.

Alternatively, the Purchaser may choose to use the deposit to reserve a puppy from the next available litter, subject to this contract's terms. If no litter is produced within 1.5 years from the contract date, the deposit will be fully refunded to the purchaser.

The remaining balance is due in full no later than one (1) day prior to pickup, or one (1) day prior to the date the Seller departs for delivery. Final payment is not due on pickup day or delivery day.

The Seller accepts payment for the puppy via Venmo, Cash App, PayPal, debit/credit card, or Cash. The Seller also accepts payment through GoodDog, but only if the Purchaser found the Seller through GoodDog, in which case payment must be made through GoodDog as GoodDog requires. Checks or money orders of any kind will not be accepted. The Purchaser is responsible for processing fees. All payments other than GoodDog payments are made to Vanderbeek Properties, LLC.

The Seller provides no warranty or guarantee, express or implied, regarding the puppy’s health, genetic or hereditary condition, or future health after pickup or delivery.
