Adoption Process

How to bring home a Joley Aire puppy

At Joley Aire, we do all we can to make the process of buying a new puppy easy and enjoyable. We understand that this is a big step in your life and are excited to come alongside you and guide you through the process.

Getting started

If you are new here, welcome! Before we move forward, you might want to read through our About, FAQs, Our Dogs, and Testimonials pages to familiarize yourself with our program and process.

Quick facts: We breed Bernedoodles and Bernese Mountain Dog puppies. We have F1 Bernedoodle puppies ranging in size from 60-90 lbs. Our price for Bernedoodles is $3500 and for Bernese Mountain Dogs is $2500. We put a lot of training and socialization into our puppies to make sure they are the best family dogs. We are located in central Illinois.

Stay in the know

Join the email list. This is the best way to stay updated on upcoming litters and available puppies. The email list does not guarantee or reserve a puppy for you, but it is a good place to start if you aren't ready to commit with a deposit.

Reserve a puppy

We'll need to know you're committed to buying a puppy at this point and ask that you show your commitment with a $400 deposit if you aren't able to pick up the puppy within 24 hours.

If you are interested in a future litter: You may reserve a puppy from a future litter if you place a $400 non-refundable deposit to join the waiting list. Your spot in line is determined by when deposits are received, so the sooner the better. As puppies are selected by waiting list members, you will move up. Since there is one running waiting list, you will have the option to pick from any future litter.

If you are interested in a specific, available puppy: A $400 deposit secures your reservation of that puppy.

Preparations

Between the time picks are made and the puppies are ready to leave is the time for you to prepare your home and family for the new family member.

  • Take the Puppy Prep Class, an easy online course that will give you everything you need to prepare for your Joley Aire puppy. For a more complete puppy training education, sign up for Baxter & Bella.
  • Purchase any supplies you need through our recommended products page. Don't forget your NuVet supplements.
  • During this time we'll also make transportation arrangements for those that are too far to drive.

Adoption day

The moment you've been waiting and dreaming of is the day you get to take home your new puppy. We allow them to leave at 8 weeks (and no earlier) and send them home with plenty of gifts and supplies to make the transition easier. We'll also go over as much puppy care and information you need to get started.

At this point, the adoption process is technically done, but we hope you'll continue to send us updates and pictures of your puppy.
