Started Dogs

Is A Started Dog Right For You?

Interested in a well bred, low to minimal shedding dog but not interested in working through the puppy stage?

We will sometimes select a puppy for our started dog program and offer them available for sale at either 12 or 16 weeks.

There are only a select few started dogs available every year, please only apply if you are interested and willing to wait. We select the puppy we feel would be the best fit for a family dog and get started on training. While here, they are introduced to cats, other dogs, people, children, noises of all kinds, and receive regularly scheduled vaccinations, deworming, and top of the line dog food.

Your started dog comes home with a snuggle puppy to make the transition easier, a few special toys, and a lifetime membership to BAXTER & Bella online dog training program.

Started dogs are not fully trained dogs. There is more work to be done when they arrive home, but this will make the transition significantly easier.

You will be sent a video highlighting the skills already learned and some help on how to continue building on those skills when they arrive home.

Price reflects our puppy price, plus the extra time invested in training.

Available Puppy

We have one sweet Bernedoodle girl available now!

Vitani is a bold little firecracker in the best way—full of curiosity, confidence, and charm! This Bernedoodle babe is highly engaged with the world around her. Whether she’s investigating a new sound, showing off her recall, or climbing into your lap for affection, she does it all with enthusiasm and heart.

She’s thriving with her crate training and sleeps through the night like a champ. Potty training is going great, and her natural intelligence is shining in early obedience work. She’s eager to learn, quick to catch on, and always up for a challenge—making her an ideal match for an active home that loves adventure and enrichment.

She’s bold, affectionate, and absolutely lives to connect with her people—whether that’s through play, training, or a big ol’ cuddle puddle. If you’re searching for a pup who’s both brainy and snuggly, Vitani might just be your perfect match.

Vitani is available as a started puppy and is priced at $6000
