Why Do We Ask You to Fill Out This Form?
At Spring Creek of Goldendale, our dogs are family. We are deeply committed to placing our puppies in homes where they will be safe, loved, and well cared for.
At Spring Creek of Goldendale, we are deeply committed to the lifelong well-being of our puppies.
We do not place our Bernese Mountain Dog puppies in apartments, condos, or homes without a properly sized, secure yard. These are large, active dogs who need space to grow, exercise, and thrive.
We also will not place a puppy with individuals who are currently struggling to stabilize their lives, believing a dog will “help fix” personal challenges. Puppies — especially Bernese Mountain Dogs — require significant time, resources, and emotional stability. They are a huge responsibility, not a temporary emotional solution.
Bringing a Berner into your life means accepting that your life will change permanently.
These dogs are not toys. They are living beings who deserve commitment, stability, and unconditional love for their entire lives.
And yes — they bark. Do not expect a Bernese Mountain Dog to be silent. Barking is part of who they are.
We love and respect our dogs too much to set them up for anything less.
Thank you for understanding our responsibility to them first.
If you’re not ready for that reality, please do not apply.

💳 Health, Vet Care & Insurance
Bernese Mountain Dogs are big, loving, and sometimes—yes—expensive.
Because of their size and breed-specific health risks, it’s essential that families are financially prepared for veterinary care throughout their Berner’s life. From routine wellness visits to unexpected emergencies, vet bills can add up quickly for a giant breed.
For this reason, we strongly encourage all of our puppy families to carry pet insurance. It’s one of the best ways you can protect your dog—and your peace of mind.
🐾 We include 30 days of FREE pet insurance through Trupanion with every puppy.
This coverage begins immediately upon pickup and helps ease the transition into your home. Details will be provided in your go-home folder.
We also include this insurance recommendation in our contract because we care deeply about each puppy’s long-term well-being. While we raise healthy, well-cared-for puppies, no breeder can promise a life free of health issues. What we can promise is our ongoing support—and that we’ll always advocate for doing right by these incredible dogs.
Please make sure you are financially ready for the responsibility of owning a Bernese Mountain Dog.
They give us everything—and they deserve the same in return.
