Mountain Born,

Family Raised

About Us..

Nestled in the mountains of Mariposa, California. At High Sierra Bernedoodles, our dogs are more than pets - they’re part of our family. Our passion is raising healthy, happy, and well-socialized Bernedoodles that grow into loving lifelong companions.

With a strong focus on ethical breeding, early socialization, and genetic health, we raise each puppy with love, structure, and purpose. Our home-based program ensures every puppy is nurtured in a family setting, exposed to children, daily routines, and the beauty of nature from day one.

We’re here to not only provide you with a wonderful dog, but to walk alongside you for the journey - from first inquiry to go-home day and beyond.

Our Process

1.) Application

Start by filling out our Puppy Application Form. This helps us understand your lifestyle, preferences, and what you’re looking for in a puppy. Our goal is to make great matches, not just sales.

2.) Approval & Waitlist

Once your application is approved, we’ll reach out with a phone call to officially welcome you, answer any questions you may have, and walk you through the next steps. After that, you’ll be invited to place a $500 non-refundable deposit. This secures your spot in line for upcoming litters and goes toward your total puppy price.

3.) Watch Your Puppy Grow

We’ll keep you updated throughout the process with photos, milestone updates, and temperament notes. We also share tips to help you prepare your home for your new. We also offer FaceTime or Zoom calls so you can see the puppies in real time and connect with them before choosing.

4.) Final Payment & Home-Prep

Final payment is due by 8 weeks. We’ll coordinate pickup or delivery and go over feeding, crate tips, vet needs, and everything you need to feel ready. At 8 weeks old, your puppy goes home with:

  • Vaccination and deworming record

  • Toy and food sample

  • Large Dog Crate

  • 1-Year Genetic Health Guarantee

  • Blanket with mother and litter scent
