Waitlist Information

Our waitlist is for future litters and current litters with puppies that have been born but are not old enough to be picked out yet. (Puppies are picked out at 5-6 weeks old). To be placed on the list we require a $500.00 deposit. This deposit is made on our Purchase 1-2-3 page. 

​Here at Walnut Valley Puppies our goal is to provide puppies with good temperaments, great looks, and ultimately in great health! While we can not guarantee what color or gender each litter will produce, we can help you get a good idea of what to expect based on previous litters. We have general goals of how many litters we would like to produce and then rely upon heat cycles and dam body mass index to be exceptional before we breed. If there are concerns for the health of our dams, we won't breed them during that heat cycle.

Our general goal is to produce approximately 8-10 litters of F1 Mini Bernedoodles, 2-3 litters of F1b Mini & Tiny Bernedoodles, and 2-3 litters of Standard Bernedoodles on an annual basis.
At this point the approximate wait time for each breed is,

• F1 Mini Bernedoodle = 0-6 months
• F1 Standard Bernedoodle =0-6 months
• F1B Mini & Tiny Bernedoodles = 0-12 months

These numbers are approximate and can vary significantly based on the many variables in our puppy life. We only breed our females if they are healthy and ready for pregnancy. Even then, there is no guarantee that they will have puppies, or how many they have if they do get pregnant.

When you place a deposit for a future litter your name is placed on the list on a "first come, first pick" basis. When puppies come, we update the website within a few days with details of the litter. We take pictures of the puppies when they are several days old, at 3 weeks old, and then again when they're 5 weeks old. As soon as a litter is born we also add them to the current litters box below and set the "starting the selection process" date. A few days before we start the selection process you will get a text from Javin to see if you're interested in picking from that litter. You will then let us know if you're interested in selecting a puppy or not. If you're interested in the litter but the puppy you wanted gets picked ahead of you, you can still choose to opt out at that point.

We can help you with your decision by taking videos and/or via a FaceTime call. (If you would like to see the litter in person before making a decision, you will have to visit the puppies prior to the selection process, unless you can come on short notice when it is your turn to pick) Once it's your turn to pick, you can choose an available puppy OR decide to skip your turn for that litter and wait for a subsequent litter, at which time you would likely have a higher pick.

We will be contacting you via text (unless you prefer otherwise) when your turn is getting close and if you choose to pass we will then move onto the next person(s). It is imperative that you respond within 4 hours after being notified of an available puppy of your interest. Otherwise, we will have to keep moving down our list. We ask that you keep an eye on our website as well as our Facebook and Instagram pages for current and upcoming litters. If you don't respond to our text and/or email notification of currently available puppies then we assume you will want to wait. In such a case we will hold your spot on the Reservation List and continue moving down the list to others waiting on their turn. You may opt out of as many litters as you would like! You do NOT lose your spot on the list by choosing to wait on a future litter.

As stated above, any deposits made will be 50% REFUNDABLE until a puppy is picked out. After a puppy is picked out the deposit will be NON-REFUNDABLE.

ATTENTION! Walnut Valley Puppies reserves the right to keep back any puppy from any litter before the selection process starts .

We will keep all our current and upcoming litters posted below. If you are on the list, keep an eye on this page for upcoming litters. Also mark your calendars with the "Starting the selection process" date so you don't miss us when it's your turn to pick a puppy. Remember, you might get a chance to pick out a puppy sooner than what your spot on the list indicates. We have a lot of people that join the waitlist planning to wait a few years to get a puppy. It is common for puppies to drop all the way thru the waitlist and become available to the public. Because of our waitlist size we often get people who are planning months (or years) into the future and ironically because of that we usually have puppies available sooner for people who want a puppy ASAP.
