Puppy Adoption Information

At Valhalla Mountain Kennels we think it is of utmost importance that you understand completely the commitment you make to your pet when you adopt and bring home your new family member. We hope it will be the beginning of a lifelong (dog years) journey of friendship, loyalty and unconditional love. Please take the adoption of a new puppy seriously and make sure that you are up for the challenges and the joys that your new puppy will bring. We hope that you will be able to provide a loving and safe environment for your puppy and be able to meet all your puppy’s health and companionship needs.

Our adoption process is quite straight forward and can be done in either of 2 ways. 1) If the litter of pups is not born yet and you are wanting a puppy from a future litter then you must fill out a puppy application, state that the litter is pending, state parent dog preferences if you have a preference, also size, sex, color and temperament of the puppy you are looking for.  Once you have submitted your application via email, then a $500 deposit via etransfer will need to be sent.  This deposit if generally non-refundable but we do appreciate that sometimes there are extenuating circumstances and may necessitate a refund.  We try to be as understanding as possible.  The deposit will guarantee you a spot on our wait list.  Once the puppies are born and you have picked out your new family member then, depending on the cost of the puppy, the deposit is sometimes increased to half the cost of the puppy or the puppy is paid in full.  If there is a balance then it isn’t due until you get your puppy or just prior to shipping if your puppy is shipped. 2) If the pups are already born then you must first decide on which puppy you would like to adopt. Then, print out the puppy application, fill it in and scan and email (valhallahorsenhound@gmail.com ) the application back to us. We will sign the application and return it to you for your records. Once signed, a minimum of 50% deposit will need to be received before the puppy will be held for you. Occasionally full payment will be required.  Once the payment is received, the puppy is yours and all ads will have the puppy removed from the “for sale” section and into the “adopted” section. If there is a balance then it is due once the puppy is picked up, delivered or just prior to shipping if the puppy is being shipped. The puppy application spells out our puppy guarantee and also our expectations of new puppy owners. We of course will always be available for questions if you ever have any concerns, uncertainties or just want to talk about your puppy.

Our Bernedoodles are sold with non-breeding rights and are priced according to size and color. The Full Bernese Tricolors, Full Bernese Sable Tricolors and the Silver Full Bernese Tricolors have the same markings as the purebred Bernese Mountain Dog (Sable has brown mixed in the black areas and the Silvers are Silver, tan and white) are generally the same price.  The Merle Full Bernese Tricolor are the highest cost.  The Phantom Tricolors, Sable Phantom Tricolors, Silver Phantom Tricolors, Phantoms and Sable Phantoms are all priced lower due to having less white.  The Tuxedos which are absolutely gorgeous – are black and white and have 4 white paws, white tail tip, white bellies and chest and white up over their nose and forehead are also very popular and are the most affordable.

When you submit a puppy application for an existing puppy a minimum of 50% deposit is required with the application and the balance is due when you receive your puppy. Occasionally we will ask for 100% of the cost of the puppy may be required.

If you are wanting to place a retaining deposit on a puppy from a future litter then a $500 retaining fee is required to solidify a spot for you on the wait list.  Once the litter is born and you have selected your puppy the deposit is increased to a minimum 50% at that time and occasionally 100%.  If there is a balance owing on your puppy then it will be due when you receive your puppy.
