MEET THE PUPPIES
YOUR BERNEDOODLE DREAMS COME TRUE IN JULY!
Getting a Bernedoodle puppy this July offers numerous benefits for families looking to add a furry companion to their lives. The warm summer days provide the perfect opportunity for outdoor playtime and socialization, allowing your puppy to explore and engage with the world around them. With longer daylight hours, you can enjoy bonding activities such as walks in the park and trips to the beach, essential for their physical health and emotional development. Additionally, welcoming a puppy during the summer means you’ll have ample time to focus on training and acclimating them to your home environment, as school schedules are often lighter. Finally, Bernedoodles are known for their friendly and affectionate nature, making them an ideal addition to any household, fostering a loving atmosphere that lasts long after the sunny days of summer fade.

Marlowe
Rebekah and family were just the best when we were going through the process of getting our puppy! There are so many scams + unauthentic people in this space, that finding Rebekah and her fam was such a treat. They were responsive, transparent, open to any and all questions, encouraged connectivity and FaceTime to show the progress of our sweet pup, plus they have the sweetest little kids - so all the puppies are socialized from birth. People take one look at our sweet Marlowe and ask where we got her and we 10/10 every time recommend Rebekah. Marlowe is such a wonderful addition to our family and we are just so thankful that we found a breeder that loves what they do and that reflects in the process, the pup and the people ❤ XO

Max (Formerly "Gold")
Hi Rebekah, I haven’t done a pup-date lately, but I just wanted you to know Max is doing amazing and we love him more every day! We have done some intermittent training sessions (due to a lot going on here)—but he doesn’t forget between times. He had a session yesterday and is doing great on the leash and with several commands. We love his trainer who comes to the house and she loves working with him. He responds so well to her. He goes to the groomer again tomorrow and does really well there. I would estimate Max at 60 lbs now. What a great pup and friend, such a sweet personality and gentle spirit❤️🐶

Winston (Formerly Mr. Heckles)
Rebekah & her family do an amazing job raising these puppies. They grow up around kids, other dogs, & cats. You can tell they have been socialized & loved. We love Winston (formerly Mr Heckles & now his father’s namesake) and he gets along great with our toddler & cats. He has been easy to train & Rebekah made the process seamless. We cannot recommend them enough ❤️ If you are wondering about different personalities of each pup to fit your family…reach out & she can go over it all with you. She guided us along the way.

We had a good experience with Joley Aire puppies. Rebekah was very communicative from the beginning and answered all of our many questions, at many times daily questions. Our new puppy is wonderful so far and has brought so much to our home. Recommend Joley based on our experience.

Bentley (Formerly "Lemon")
Bentley (Lemon) is an amazing dog. He quickly learned new tricks / commands and is completely potty trained in 2 weeks. He loves the snow and playing with our children. Thank you for raising a great dog. I will recommend Joley Aire to anyone what is looking for a Bernedoodle !!

Eclair
Rebekah and her family that run Joley Aire are amazing! We couldn’t feel more happy that we got our puppy from them. We are in SoCal and really searched for the best breeder across the US. Our girl came home to us already potty trained and slept through the night the second night we had her. She’s also really healthy and well tempered due to the amount of socialization and time the family put in the first weeks of her life. Couldn’t recommended a better family or breeder!

Coco (Formerly "Spruce")
Thank you for reaching out! Coco is doing really well. She is such a happy, good natured pup. There is already a lot of progress being made each day with the biting. She loves play time, learning new tricks, and mostly sleeping! She is almost all caught up with her vaccinations and I'm looking forward to signing her up for puppy daycare to continue her socializing with other dogs, as well as some puppy training classes. I've forgotten all about my kids, as my camera roll will tell you. It's all filled up with pics of Coco. Here are a few of my favorites. She is growing so fast...too fast! She is already 30 pounds!

Etna (Formerly "Parka")
Hi Rebekah,
She's doing great! We had a session with a trainer yesterday and I'm super optimistic about those items we're working on - a strict heel/correct leash walking, calm behavior to greet people, etc! Etna is such a smart girl. Last night for the first time she slept through the night in the crate with no playpen or potty trips needed - AMEN!
Someone just said to me “Etna is officially the most beautiful dog in the neighborhood”

Festivus
Rebekah and Brian were truly amazing. The whole adoption process is pretty straight forward and outlined on their website in detail. If you have any questions you can reach out to them and the response time is always quick. Which is actually impressive being that they had 16 puppies from 2 different litters to tend to which means there's 16 different families to try to accommodate.
I chose beautiful Merle puppy out of the Seinfield litter which was delivered to me in NY at my doorstep. My puppy came with toys, a leash, bowl, collar, a brush, food, blanket with the mother's scent and its record. He transitioned quickly to his new home and came already POTTY and CRATE TRAINED❕❗️ Check out their Youtube, Instagram and Facebook page to see the time, love and care that is given to each puppy. That is what made me choose Joley Aire Family Dogs instead of another breeder closer to home. Also, puppies are around children from the time they are born for those who have children. My puppy is so good around my niece and nephews. Thank you again Brian and Rebekah.

Ellie (Formerly "Flurry")
Hi Rebekah,
Things are going well with Ellie (FKA flurry). She is currently in the middle of teething. We have figured out potty training which is amazing, very few accidents if any. Her separation anxiety has increasingly improved. She knows how to sit, lay down, shake, off or get down, and we are still learning to drop it, leave it and crate. She is an amazing sleeper. She weighed 33 pounds at her last vet appointment (3/25).

Deacon (Formerly "Solstice")
Hi Rebekah,
Thanks for reaching out. Deacon is definitely a spunky, energetic puppy. She is in puppy training where they come here once a week and working on commands and how to not bite. She is enjoying having her shots completed so she can go to the dog park and is making friends. She is such a people lover and wags her tail every time someone comes close because she always thinks they are coming for her, lol. Our vet absolutely loves her and has deemed her a ginormo puppy hahaha. Here are some recent pictures:
Thank you and hope you are doing well!

Lucky Charms
We received Lucky Charms in early June and she is the perfect Bernedoodle puppy. We couldn't ask for a dog with a better temperament. She is playful, curious, obedient, and above all, SMART! Joley Aire made the entire adoption process so easy. We loved seeing videos of her for the first 8 weeks and their communication was never lacking. We felt confident the entire time that our expectations would be met (and they were!). The family even delivered Lucky to our house! She has been the best addition to our home. Our three kids just love her and I am so happy we decided to adopt her through these amazing breeders.

Lucy (Formerly Phyllo)
We are so thrilled and thankful to have found Joley Aire Family Dogs. We adopted Lucy (aka Phyllo from the pastry litter). She truly has become a family member and fits in perfectly with our lifestyle. I have always loved the Bernese Mountain dog, but I was concerned about allergies and the shedding. My mom has two golden doodles and they happen to be the only dogs that don’t set my allergies off. Also poodles are so dang smart and have the best fur, so that is where I discovered the Bernedoodle in my search for a dog. The best of both worlds in one beautiful dog! Lucy is only 4.5 months, but thus far her temperament and intelligence are what we expected and wanted in a dog. She is super smart, loyal, loving, chill, goofy and absolutely adorable! She has been a breeze to train, not to say there weren’t any difficult days, puppies are never easy and require a lot of time and patience, but I will say she has been one of the easiest puppies we have had. Everyone who meets her or spends a good deal of time with her are blown away by how chill, sweet and well behaved she is. Many have said their next dog is going to be a bernedoodle after meeting her! My allergies are non existent and I haven’t seen any shedding yet. She still has her puppy coat though, so that could change. We make sure to brush her daily so that helps, but I haven’t noticed much hair on the bush either! I could tell from day one that Joley Aire had spent a great deal of time training and loving Lucy before we even got her. I love how involved their children are with the pups, so they are very used to human touch, being handled, children and just plain being loved on. One thing I was blown away by is the fact she was already crate trained or didn’t mind being in the crate. Our first dog was a rescue and sadly we were never able to crate train him due to trauma, even after many sessions with an animal behaviorist. But Lucy obviously was given lots of love and training before coming to our home. Working with Joley Aire felt so natural and right. You can tell they love the dogs and care for their well being. Communication was easy and timely. I highly recommend them to anyone in search of a Bernedoodle. We adore our Lucy girl, so much and thank Joley Aire for bringing her into this world and ultimately into our home. I look forward to learning more about her personality and watching her grow. It’s been a beautiful and fulfilling adventure in doghood so far!

Timber (Formerly "Mittens")
Hi Rebekah,
Timber is doing great! She’s growing so fast and learning so much. It’s been so fun having her and getting to expose her to new places. We just got back from a camping trip and beach vacation in NC. She loved it!
Are you able to share any pictures of her litter mates? We get asked all the time what breeder we used, everyone loves her coloration.
I hope you and the family are doing well. Thanks for checking in.

QUALITY UPBRINGING
The way your puppy is raised matters! What happens during the first 8 weeks stays with a puppy for its entire life and shapes how they respond to their environment for better or worse. Learn about how Joley Aire puppies are given the best possible start to life.
-
When a new litter is born, they are whelped inside our home in a quiet, controlled environment. They remain in our house for the first 3 weeks for close monitoring and care.
After three weeks, they are moved to the building just beside our house where they can have more space. They still spend time inside the house daily and are well accustomed to the sights, sounds, and smells of a typical family home.
What does all this mean for you? You can be reassured that your puppy will be familiar and comfortable in your home from day one!
-
Socialization during the first 8 weeks of a puppy's life is crucial for their development and sets the foundation for their behavior as adults. This period is when puppies are most receptive to new experiences, people, and environments.
We have 5 kids, so the puppies are automatically well socialized with children. But we don't stop at kids! We try to have a variety of people come visit the puppies during their time with us so they are comfortable with all types.
It's also important for puppies to be socialized around other dogs, so we allow our calm, kind hearted adult dogs to spend time with the puppies to show them how to behave around other dogs.
-
When you bring your puppy home you'll have to deal with potty training, crate training, and some basic obedience from the second they walk in your door. With a Joley Aire puppy, you can rest easy knowing they've already had an introduction to all of those and is ready to continue their learning with you!
Crate training - We give the puppies a very positive introduction to crates from early on so they learn to love it by the time they come to you.
Potty training - The puppies are taken outside to go potty regularly so they learn the proper place to go. You'll still have to teach them not to go in your home, but having the foundation of knowing to go outside saves a lot of hassle and time!
Sit to say please - Also called "Manding", this important behavior ensures your puppy doesn't jump up and bark when it's excited. Instead, they politely sit when they want something. This is something we teach all our puppies to do.
-
We use Puppy Culture protocols to guide how we raise our puppies. Puppy Culture encourages introducing the puppies many diverse experiences while they are young so they learn not to fear things that are new and different. We like to take our puppies on car rides, introduce them to water, have pretend birthday parties, and take them to our kids baseball & soccer games to achieve calm, confident dogs.
What does that mean for you? You'll be able to take your Joley Aire puppy just about anywhere without worrying if they'll stress out and, worse, lash out in fear. Joley Aire puppies are truly good with anything!
-
Of course, the health of our puppies is of utmost importance! A litter's health begins with choosing quality, health tested parents.
We keep the puppies in a clean, safe space to avoid disease or injury.
The puppies are checked by a licensed veterinarian before leaving our home and kept up to date on shots. We also deworm our puppies on a regular basis.
Back dewclaws are removed.
All our puppies are microchipped.

HOW TO RESERVE A PUPPY
Reserving a puppy is easy! Simply fill out an inquiry form to begin the process. We’ll answer any of your immediate questions and, when you’re ready, will send you an application and deposit form.
We ask for a $400 deposit to reserve a puppy until it’s ready to leave or if pickup will be more than 24 hours in the future. The deposit is non-refundable. It is transferrable only until a specific puppy is reserved (such as when you place a deposit for a future litter). Once a specific puppy is reserved, transferring to another puppy or litter will cost half the deposit.
Puppy picks happen anytime before the puppies are 4 weeks old. If you are inquiring about a litter younger than 4 weeks old, there might be a waiting list and we won’t know which puppies are available. Learn more about the Waiting List by clicking here.
FAQs
-
Yes! Bernese Mountain Dogs are known for their gentle, affectionate nature and devotion to their families. They are especially good with children and tend to be calm, patient, and eager to please. Their loving temperament makes them wonderful companions for homes with kids, although their large size means supervision is wise around very young children.
-
Berners have a thick double coat that sheds year-round and more heavily during seasonal changes. They need regular brushing (at least 2–3 times a week) to prevent mats and manage shedding. During shedding season, daily brushing is helpful. Occasional baths and nail trimming round out their grooming needs.
My advice is always to spend time with a dog of the same generation (F1, F1b) to see if your allergies react. If you don't have a reaction, then a Bernedoodle might be a good fit for you!
We also won't leave you stuck with a dog you can't breath around. If you find that your allergies flare up around your Joley Aire puppy, we'll help you rehome it. If it's an emergency situation, we'll take the puppy back while we try to find a home for it.
