We have two wonderful Bernedoodle girls who are due to become parents any day now. The first litter is due 15th March. The mom is Teoma, a cream coloured Bernedoodle, and the dad is Raco, a Bernese Mountain Dog. She had 13 puppies in her previous litter, all of them were healthy, and most were tri-coloured, black, white and tan. The other mom is Sejoma, a black Bernedoodle (with a small amount of white), and the dad is Jamasson, a cream coloured Standard Poodle. Her previous litter were also all healthy and were all a black and white mixture. Most of the pups will mature to be around 65lbs
Bernedoodle puppies, besides being cute and cuddly, are really smart and easy to train. They have the intelligence of the poodle and the "I'll do anything for food" demeanor of the Bernese. At 8 weeks old they will be ready for their new families, will be on solid food and toilet trained
If you think you might be interested in one of the pups please contact us at kismetcroftfarm@gmail.com to receive our puppy adoption application. You can also phone Andrew at (250) 715 8978. To get on the wait list we ask for a $300 deposit. The puppies will range from $1600 to $1900 plus GST. They will be ready to be rehomed around the latter half of May, and will have been vaccinated (first shots), microchipped, dewormed and vet checked
We will update this advert once the pups are born. In the meantime the photos are of puppies from previous litters, and a few of the parents. Thanks for your interest!

Meet Wee-man, black piebald mini dachshund male. Weeman is very out going, great with children, other dogs and cats. He has also been exposed to livestock such as goats, llamas, donkies and horses, he does not chase and has a good recall. Great in the vehicle and loves travelling, snuggling up on the couch, playing with his toys or going outside to run. This guy loves being outside! He is house and kennel trained, rarely having accidents. Reluctantly our senior male dachshund is not cohabitating well with another male dog, we’ve been trying to get them to bond for awhile and it’s just not working. We feel it would be in Wee-man’s best interest to have a home without our grouchy old man and therefore the only reason being offered for placement. Wee-man is up to date on his vaccinations, deworming, and nail clippings. Born June 28, 2024, if you’re wanting to skip that puppy stage but still maintaining a life long best friend. Wee-man may be your guy, message or call with any questions. Thank you for considering our little dude

Lucky New Years Bouvier Des Flandres puppies, born on New Years Day! 4 males and 2 females still available. These beautiful and active little puppies will be BIG DOGS! They should mature to 100 pounds average (females), and 110-120 pound average (males). They are friendly and loving and make great family pets, but they are not apartment dogs. These little guys will need a job to do so they don't get bored and naughty, and they will need frequent grooming, or the shedded hairs will get caught in their thick coat and get matted. Mom and Dad both resident farm patrols, and Moms side job is making sure the bunnies don't come on the property. Please research this breed before responding to the add.
'Bouviers des Flandres are rational, gentle, loyal, and protective by nature. The breed's particular blend of characteristics makes them good family pets, as well as keen guard dogs. Unlike some animals bred for aggressive nature and power, the Bouvier possesses sophisticated traits, such as complex control, intelligence, and accountability.
The Bouvier des Flandres is an obedient dog with a pleasant nature. They look intimidating, but are actually calm and gentle. They are enthusiastic, responsible, even-tempered, and fearless, and are excellent guard and watchdogs that are easy to train. This breed learns commands relatively fast. However, Bouviers get bored easily and learn best when repetition is limited.
They require well-balanced training that remains consistent in nature. Without being harsh, it is important to consistently make the dog aware that the owner will remain the boss. This breed needs an experienced owner to prevent dominance and over-protectiveness problems. These dogs poorly trained can become inappropriately dominant towards humans. An un-socialized Bouvier can become fearful and pose a problem when introduced to new situations in which they do not feel comfortable.
Bouviers should be socialized well, preferably starting at an early age, to avoid shyness, suspiciousness, and being overly reserved with strangers (although the breed is naturally aloof with strangers). Protection of the family when danger is present is not something that needs to be taught, nor is it something one can train out of them. The dog will rise to the occasion if needed.
A good family dog, the Bouvier likes, and is excellent with, children. The Bouvier is very adaptable and goes about its business quietly and calmly. Obedience training starts when they are young. Their behavior depends on the owner's ability to communicate what is expected, and on the individual dominance level of the dog. They are usually good with other dogs if they are raised with them from puppyhood. Dominant individuals can be dog-aggressive if the owners are not assertive and do not communicate to the dog that fighting is unwanted. Slow to mature both in body and mind, the Bouvier does not fully mature until the age of 2–3 years.
Delivery to the Lower Mainland is possible for cost of travel.
