Meet the Parents
Raised for real life
Our puppies are raised right in our home, around our family and children, not in a kennel. From day one, they are handled daily and exposed to the sights and sounds of everyday life.
Lulu’s past puppies have gone on to become incredible family companions, including therapy dogs, which speaks to the quality and intentionality behind this litter.
We focus on raising well-rounded puppies that transition smoothly into their new homes.
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.
We offer a generous health guarantee. (Learn more below!)

Isla (formerly "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!

Enzo (Formerly "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.

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❤️🐶

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”

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).

Stud Service
Rebekah and her husband were so kind and helpful when I used their stud. I left my girl for a few days and Winston (the male) was so polite and gentle with her and wasn’t aggressive at all! Winston was such a sweet boy and Rebekah brought my girl into their home with her family so my Elie would be most comfortable. I would 100% recommend Joley Aire Family Dogs if you’re looking for a quality family pet or quality stud dog!

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!

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.

Finnick (formerly Banjo)
Thought we’d send you a little update. Ever since we got him, he slept through the night. Last night was the only night we’ve had to get up with him so far!!! He’s an angel! He absolutely loves bananas for a snack, and when we’re driving, he loves to either sit on my shoulder or behind me. Or, he’ll fall asleep in the steering wheel. He instantly falls asleep to music and has been really great at potty training so far. He’s only had two actual accidents in the house. Everything else has just been little markings. He loves, loves, loves grass. We have a fresh patch for him in his playpen that he continues to eat and he’s already learned to sit and shake.

Roman (formerly Thyme)
I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to give you an update on our baby Roman (Thyme) now that he has turned one! First, I can’t believe he is already one and only one. He is such a part of our family it seems like he’s always been around. He has a built in best friend Winnie, she loves him like any big sister loves a little brother. It’s fun to play and at times she can find him a bit annoying :-). He is has the sweetest demeanor. He is playful and cuddly and very smart. We are still practicing cues but for the most part he was easy to train and is well behaved. He loves playing with pups and people. My teenage kids cannot get enough of him and my husband and I are pretty smitten too. At one year he is 60lbs and still growing. We love him dearly and are so thankful to have him join our family. I’ve included a few pictures but they don’t do him justice. He is gorgeous in person, we get stopped on every walk by someone giving a compliment.

A little update on Miss Opal. She’s now 4 months old and will start her AKA Star Puppy training next week which will lead to her AKA Canine good citizen CGC prep training.

FAQs
-
Yes! Bernedoodles 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.
-
Bernedoodles have beautiful, low-shedding coats—but that beauty comes with a bit of upkeep! Regular grooming is essential to keep their coat healthy and mat-free. We recommend brushing your Bernedoodle at least 2–3 times a week to prevent tangles and scheduling a professional groom every 6–8 weeks.
Their coats can range from wavy to curly, depending on genetics, so some Bernedoodles need more frequent brushing than others. Keeping up with coat care not only helps them look their best but also keeps their skin healthy and comfortable.
At Joley Aire, we start early—our puppies are gently brushed, bathed, and handled regularly so grooming feels familiar and stress-free when they go home.

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.
