I'm Jean R., the breeder behind Bergray Farm located in Middleville, MI. We love our dogs and they are pets first. We raise, train and show Swedish Vallhunds and Dutch Shepherds in conformation, obedience, rally, trick, agility, barn hunt and herding. Our goals for our puppies is that they are awesome family dogs that are eager to learn and participate in family activities.
Q. & A. with Jean
Why did you start breeding?
I want to help preserve this ancient breed and work to maintain the health and temperament of these great little dogs. I only breed a litter when I have a specific plan - usually for a new puppy to train and show. I enjoy studying the pedigree and accomplishments of the parents and trying to make the best match. I love helping the puppies learn new skills.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
