My family has always had rescues in the past and this was our first experience with a breeder. So happy we went this route! The transparency of the process and breeding ethics, coupled with the consistent 5 star google reviews, definitely convinced us this family was the way to go. Tina was amazing to work with and kept us up to date with frequent text messages, pictures, and videos. Our little Moxie is the perfect addition to our family. Super affectionate, sociable, and incredibly smart! And no shedding. :) We would HIGHLY recommend Walnut Valley to anyone looking for the perfect fur baby to add to their home.

My husband and I got a standard Bernedoodle from the available page when he was 14 weeks old. From our initial contact with Jason, we brought home our forever dog one week later! Chestnut is the PERFECT dog for us. We are completely in love with him, and are so grateful for Walnut Valley Puppies for raising such a healthy and well socialized pup. From the moment we got him, he immediately knew we were his people and has given us nothing but love and fun times. They weren’t wrong with his predicted personality test of 2.5, and he is exactly the goofy, active dog we wanted! Thank you Jason for making this experience completely stress free and enjoyable. We would recommend Walnut Valley Puppies 100%!

I was adamant of staying clear from adopting a puppy over the internet without seeing them. As I was researching breeders to learn more about Bernedoodles and to develop questions for local breeders, I came across Walnut Valley Puppies. The site was extremely transparent with providing all the information I wanted to know. The site was also easy to navigate, but seeing the genetic testing on the parents, having a separate page to show me what the past puppies look like as adults, providing Instagram pages of past adoptees to see their pups all grown up, and lastly the great communication with Jason (just to name a few)… it was a no brainer for us that we immediately wanted to adopt from them. I have already recommend Jason and walnut valley puppies to so many other families. Our puppy (Walter) is our very first family dog and we love him so much. Such a fun, goofy personality and great with our young kids and all the other neighborhood dogs. He’s been a fantastic addition to our family. We love you all at Walnut Valley Puppies!

We are so happy with our new puppy, Ginny. Jason at Walnut Valley was so incredibly easy to work with through the process. I was so impressed by how he took the time to get to know us and find out what kind of home environment the puppy would have to make sure it was a good fit. He was available all the time for questions that we had both before and after we received her. Great experience overall!

Tina and Javen were fantastic to work with and so informative, as well as prompt in answering questions! We have a 10 week old tiny bernedoodle and absolutely love him! Ruby, the flight nanny was great and she was such a good communicator leading up to our puppies flight. We would highly recommend Walnut Valley Puppies!

Jason at Walnut Valley is so helpful and made the whole processes of picking out our perfect puppy very easy. I had a million questions along the way and he was not only patient but very helpful and answered every single question I had. And still does lol Bella is now almost 8 months old and I will still text him with questions here and there.Bella is also the BEST dog. She has as an amazing temperament and people comment on how sweet she is all the time. From chilling and cuddling on the couch, to running and play in Central Park she loves it all. While she is still a puppy and a little crazy at times Bella calmed down quickly, was very easy to train and adjusted to city life in NYC easily. While she is a little shy around new humans she is obsessed with every single dog she meets. All around the best dog my husband and I have ever had!Cannot recommend Walnut Valley and Bernedoodles as a breed enough!!!

Walnut Valley Puppies is the place to go if you are looking to add a new addition to your family! My fiance and I had a wonderful experience with Walnut Valley Puppies working specifically with Jason. He was quick with responses and keeping us updated on the waiting list. During our pick-up, Jason was ready to go with a bag full of goodies, all of the necessary paper work, and our puppy who was happy and freshly bathed!! Walnut Valley Puppies gave my fiance and I our new best friend and we could not be more grateful!!!

Working with Walnut Valley has been the best experience. I have had my sweet Clark for just about a week now and he is a playful, smart and snuggly little guy. I am so happy to have worked with Jason and team in this process. From the time I was put on the waitlist to bringing my little guy home, Jason has followed up, answered all my questions and been a delight to work with! I would highly recommend for anyone looking into adopting!

Our miniature Bernie Doodle is hands-down the cutest, funniest, and sweetest puppy I've ever seen. The folks at Walnut Valley Puppies are amazing to deal with, and their animals are so well-cared for. They have a great presence on social media, so you get to see many of your pup's siblings grow up and post your own pics. Top quality operation and worth the wait.

We have had an all-around outstanding experience with Walnut Valley Puppies. So much so that after only a week after bringing our new puppy home we chose to go back on the waitlist for a second one. Every step of the process from navigating the website and getting on the waitlist to picking up our puppy and getting her home was smooth and professional. There were no surprises, loose strings, or hidden costs. Expectations regarding the waitlist time were realistic and response times are incredibly quick, respectful and friendly.WVP is clearly a reputable breeder with the health and wellness of their puppies and parents in mind. We only had one point of contact (Jason Yoder) throughout the entire adoption process which was nice because it took the chance for confusion or miscommunication out of the process. He checked-in (and still checks in) regularly and always responded within the same day (typically within minutes). Not only did Jason answer all of our questions but he also helped us decide on the puppy that was going to best suit our family’s needs and lifestyle. We especially appreciated all of the photos, videos and the personality ranking system they use.Extra effort was also taken to help us navigate through the “preparing for puppy” prep work (puppy proofing the house and yard, setting up vet appointments and training, ordering food and supplies, etc.) in order to ensure a smooth transition when we brought “Harriet” home. We received a generous swag bag full of goodies and necessities (the blanket with her mom and littermates’ scent has been incredibly valuable) to help with the transition as well.Once we got Harriet home, it was obvious that WVP put in a bunch of work getting her socialized and weaned prior to the 8-week mark when we picked her up. She has been easy to crate train (we are going into week 3 and she has not had one accident in her crate - she’s even sleeping through most of the night!). Our new puppy is sweet and playful with our young daughters as well as any other person who will give her attention. We’ve had complete strangers come up to us to say how adorable and well-tempered she is and ask where we got her. Our Harriet is an adorable tiny F1B bernedoodle with a well-balanced temperament of curiosity and calm and she’s so smart with the training.If you’re looking for a bernedoodle, Walnut Valley Puppies is the place!

We just adore our puppy from Walnut Valley! His name is Yukon and he’s so sweet and incredibly smart! Jason was extremely helpful and knowledgeable with our Bernedooble. They delivered him to us in a very safe and professional manner. I totally recommend Walnut Valley and Jason. Thanks, Mary P.

Worth the wait! After 18 months of being on the waitlist, our turn came & we finally picked our beautiful, healthy puppy. Jason helps make the process run smoothly by answering all your questions as well as providing lots of videos and pictures so that you can pick a puppy that will fit in with your family. When she arrived, you could tell she was socialized which made training much easier. Don’t wait anymore , put a deposit down so you can pick one of these cuties!

We had an exceptional experience with Walnut Valley Puppies. We did extensive research prior to selecting WVP's and the results were well worth it. Jason was great to work with from the time we put in our deposit to the time we took home our puppy and he is still in contact today checking in on how Marley (Formerly Melody) is doing. I was fortunate enough to meet Jason as he hand delivered our puppy by flying to our selected airport and was so caring through it all. He kept us informed on where we were at in the draft order and we appreciated all the photos and videos we received before selecting our puppy and even after. I would definitely recommend Walnut Valley Puppies to anybody. We were fortunate enough to get the exact puppy characteristics we wanted and we love her so much. We hit the jackpot with Marley. We are so pleased and grateful for the professionalism WVP's and Jason provided through the whole process. Thank you from the Briggs family.

Absolutely wonderful experience with Jason and the Walnut Valley team. Jason was VERY responsive and helpful during the whole process.Homie (AKA Logan) from Lilac & Sammy’s litter made it to us in Chicago and has adapted wonderfully so far. Our family is so grateful. If you are looking for a Bernedoodle I would highly recommend!

After a year of searching for our Bernedoodle we were not impressed with any of the breeder's we came across till we found Walnut Valley Puppies. As many, we were very nervous but decided to take a chance after reading all the positive reviews and we couldn't be more happier that we did. We couldn't be more happier with our new family member Bentley fka (Giro). Giro was from Crystal & Keno's April 17th 2020 litter. Bentley has been such an amazing puppy and has added a great deal of happiness to our family even our friends love him so much. Working with WVP has been a great experience for us. Jason & Javin have been great from the beginning to the end of the process. They both answered all the many questions I had. They still to this day check on our Bentley which shows how much they care for their puppies. We highly recommend Walnut Valley Puppies for your new best friend!Oh yea let me not forget to mention they delivered our sweet boy all the way to the East Cost. We live in Massachusetts and it would have taken us over 20hours so having Bentley delivered to us was a great deal.I wish I can rate WVP 10stars because they really are the best.

If you are looking to get a Bernedoodle, Walnut Valley Puppies is the place to go. Once my husband and I decided that a bernedoodle is the type of puppy we wanted I started doing research and honestly no other breeder compared in my opinion. Once I sent in my deposit to be added to the waitlist, the following day I received a call from Jason, just to talk about the breed and how long it would roughly be before it would be our turn to pick a puppy. You also get added to a facebook group of everyone who has had a puppy from WVP and can keep in touch with the siblings or ask any questions you might have. The community is just amazing. Yes, the wait is long, I think we waited about 16months but it was so worth it. Jason keeps the website very up to date, you can see how many litters are expected and keep track of your place on the list. Once it is your turn to pick the process is very simples, Jason sends over pictures and videos. We got our new buddy Kobe about a week ago, and in in this past week Jason had reached out multiple times to see how we were doing. Overall, a great experience. 😊

Working with Walnut Valley was an absolute pleasure and our puppy is beyond perfect! Jason was so amazing throughout the whole process as well, from the day we joined the wait list to the day we picked up Zeke, he was responsive, gracious with his time, and quick to answer any questions we had. I would 1000% recommend Walnut Valley not only because of how cute and amazing our puppy is, but also how great the whole experience was. Thank you Jason and Walnut Valley!

We had a great experience with Walnut Valley Puppies! Our new puppy is doing great, and Jason was super easy to work with throughout the the whole process from joining the waitlist all through pick-up. We definitely recommend to anyone looking for a bernedoodle!

We are very happy with our experience with Walnut Valley Puppies. Jason was very communicative through the entire adoption process and took time to answer every question we had. We appreciated his help in picking the perfect puppy for our family! Brody (formerly Laser) has brought so much joy since he came to live with us. It’s clear he came from a safe and healthy environment. He’s friendly, inquisitive, and smart. He has been comfortable with adults and children since day one and received a great check up from our vet. We would highly recommend Walnut Valley Puppies for both their pups and people!McClelland familyInstagram @brody.the.bernedoodle12

We had a fantastic experience working with Walnut Valley Puppies. We live in CA and working with a breeder that wasn’t local raised some concerns. However, after doing extensive research on Walnut Valley and their breeding program, we felt more confident. Jason did a phone interview to make sure we were aligned and that helped tremendously. From the moment we paid the deposit, Jason’s communication continued to be wonderful and he was so helpful in helping me identify to right puppy for our family. The wait was so worth it and we just brought home our sweet puppy. I can tell she was socialized well and loved in the weeks before she came to us. The flight nanny made the trek to CA and hand carried out girl to us, and she’s been an amazing addition to our home. I highly recommend Walnut Valley puppies and working with Jason. I have a feeling we’ll be back in a couple years for a second puppy!

I searched for months for a breeder I felt I could trust. I found that and so much more in Jason and Walnut Valley Puppies. I feel so incredibly lucky to have found them and can’t recommend this breeder more highly.From our first conversation, Jason was a true partner in what was a really big decision and change in my family’s life. I felt completely supported every step of the way.Jason stayed in regular contact with me all throughout the pregnancy and birth of the litter with updates and photos. He answered my hundreds of questions over text, email, and regular phone calls. He was extremely responsive and reliable. He understood all of my concerns as a first time puppy parent, and provided such thoughtful and insightful guidance.I especially appreciate and value the emphasis placed on honesty and goodness in their business and practice.Most importantly, the love and care for the dogs and puppies at Walnut Valley was very clear. From the moment we met our beautiful puppy, she was so loving, patient, and trusting. She is extremely healthy and vivacious. She was given a wonderful start on life at Walnut Valley. I feel so lucky and I am so grateful.

I brought home my mini bernedoodle puppy on February 15, 2020, and he is everything I was looking for. Sweet, energetic and adorable. Working with Walnut Valley Puppies was a great experience. Javin and Jason were both excellent in communicating, making themselves available and answering all of my questions. They clearly care very much about their puppies and follow up after they go home to see how they're doing. Overall, I can't imagine having a better experience with a breeder, and I am so happy to have Percy home with me as my new best friend.

I had a great experience with Walnut Valley Puppies when buying my very first puppy. They were very responsive and it is easy to tell they care greatly about the wellbeing of their dogs and puppies. I strongly recommend them for anyone interested in a bernedoodle!!

We had a fantastic experience with Walnut Valley Puppies! Throughout the process, Jason was amazing! He answered all of our questions, and always responded promptly. We live in CT and getting our puppy here was a seamless experience. Mary Sue flew our puppy safely to us, and sent cute photos/videos along the way. You can tell the puppies are well cared for and socialized. We couldn’t be happier to have little Winston join our lives! Thank you Walnut Valley!

We loved our experience with Walnut Puppy. We received our F1 mini bernedoodle puppy faster than expected and we are delighted to have her in our life. She is so smart and adjusted to being home with us very quickly. Walnut Puppy prepared us to take her home, answered all of our questions and their website was extremely helpful. Our family highly recommends Walnut Puppy!

We found Bella online and contacted Walnut Valley Puppies.... they responded to all of my questions promptly and eagerly, always with care — even my silly questions. Everything was handled smoothly and beautifully, the puppies are so well cared-for and come with all of the information and starter supplies we needed as new puppy owners. We have had a wonderful experience with them and they continue to reach out weeks after we brought Bella home. Thank you!

What can I add to the 150+, 5-star reviews already posted? It's already been said, but I'll say it again: Walnut Valley puppies are healthy, gorgeous, friendly puppies. Jason was very helpful through the process of selecting our puppy, and he met us on delivery day to make the pick-up process easier as well. Highly recommend WVP!

There really is no way to review except to say, exceptional. From the beginning Jason, was communicative, informative, and accurate about the whole process. His attention, and his teams attention, to raising adorable, friendly, smart puppies has far exceeded our expectations. "Maisy" slept through the night the first night and every other night. She has already learned many commands and is mostly potty trained at just 10 weeks old. She has been very easy to socialize with people and dogs. Walnut Valley Puppies gets our highest recommendations. It is SO worth the wait. Genuine, kind, loving family raising wonderful puppies to continue to share those values with the families they join. We cannot thank you enough Jason, Katie Bug and Cayan and your entire team.
