Puppies

Apple litter

Our puppies are raised in our home with lots of love and attention. They have their own private nursery where the dam and her puppies live separately from our other dogs, until they are old enough to meet and play with them. Our puppies are continuously monitored by us or by a live video stream in case we need to step out for a minute. The puppies are handled many times daily from the second they are born until the time they are ready to go to their new homes. During the first week of the puppies life, we are with them 24/7 and even sleep in the same room to keep a watchful eye or to lend a hand. 

 

All of our puppies are raised using ESI: early scent introduction and the Puppy Culture method. It is our goal to have puppies that are happy, eager to please, inquisitive and outgoing when they leave us for their new families. Our puppies will be introduced to all ages of children, adults, and our other dogs. They will also be exposed to many surfaces, toys, sights, sounds and the great outdoors. 

​

Our puppy price is $2500.00 USD. All of our puppies are sold as Pet/Companion puppies and will receive AKC Limited Registration papers. Puppies are sold on a spay/neuter contract and should be spayed/neutered between 18 and 24 months of age. Our puppies will go to their new homes between 8-9 weeks of age. They will have their first set of vaccinations, microchipped, rear dewclaws removed and will be dewormed at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks of age. 

 

All puppies will go home with a puppy package that includes:

 

  • AKC registration paperwork.

  • Microchip registration.

  • Worming/shot records.

  • Veterinary health certificate.

  • Five generation pedigree.

  • Copies of all clearances from both parents.

  • Copy of the signed written contract.

  • Puppy care information booklet.

  • A generous take home bag with toys that smell like mom and litter mates.

  • Sample bag of food with feeding instructions.

 

Anyone interested in one of our puppies and would like to be on our wait list please email us, use the contact form, or message us on Facebook! Once we have a confirmed litter we will contact everyone on our wait list to see if they're still interested in a puppy from us. If so, you must fill out our puppy application. This is the start of the reservation process. It allows us to get to know you and to determine what temperament would match best for you and your family. As soon as the puppy application has been submitted, we will read through it, then schedule a phone interview or correspond through email or facebook messenger. Once the puppies are born, a non-refundable holding deposit of $500 will need to made either through Zelle, cashier's check or money order. Puppies will be temperament tested at 7 weeks to help place them into the homes that would best suit them and their new family. The balance of $2000.00 will need to be paid in cash; no exceptions, upon pickup between 8-9 weeks old. 

Owner Testimonials

“We reached out about a year ago to Karrie and Cliff regarding a litter of pups they had coming available soon. From the first contact, I’ve had nothing but wonderful experiences with them. It’s clear how much they value the breed and love and care for their dogs. We’ve had our guy Copper for almost a year now and we couldn’t ask for a better Berner! I hope to get another pup from them one day”

"Dear Karrie & Family-
We so appreciate the dedication & committment you have for bringing these amazing Berners into the world. Your love for what you do is so inspiring & we feel fortunate to have found you! Your caring & loving spirit is infused into these amazing dogs who bring such joy, Thank you for all you do!"

I can’t say enough about Brightstar Bernese Mountain Dogs and their amazing dogs. From the moment we reached out it was clear that they are passionate about their dogs and the families who they go to. The puppies are raised in a loving environment from day one making the transition home seamless. Our Berner not only is a wonderful addition to our family, we were invited into his as well. Karrie stays in touch with us regularly, always available for advice and to share how our boy is growing. They even hosted a family reunion for all the litters to come and meet up. It was amazing seeing our bear with some of his litter mates and how they all have grown. After our experience with Brightstar I cannot imagine using another breeder. The dogs are beautiful and loving the perfect companion.

Hi, I’m Brodie, the fluffiest, happiest Bernese Mountain Dog in all of Oregon, and I owe it all to Brightstar Bernese Mountain Dogs! From day one, Karrie at Brightstar made me feel like the most special pup in the world. She’s the best! Karrie is so dedicated to finding the perfect families like mine and providing them with the very best Bernese buddies. I got cozy blankets, gentle snuggles, and belly rubs galore, so I felt loved right from the start. My humans say they’ve never seen a pup with such a calm and happy beginning, and I know it’s all thanks to Karrie’s loving care.And let’s talk snacks! I had the best ones, perfectly timed for learning all the new things I needed to be the best boy. But really, I was always just staying close because I felt so loved there! My humans and I can’t wait to bring home my new little brother from Brightstar. I’m excited to show him all the ropes—especially the snacks and belly rub routines. Thanks to Karrie and Brightstar Bernese Mountain Dogs for giving me the happiest start and setting me up for a lifetime of love with my family. See you soon, little brother! Woof!Paws and love,Brodie & the smiths
