Parent dogs
Ula, mom
Bernese Mountain Dog
About Ula
Ula is our Poland import, with excellent bloodlines and drafting heritage. She is a sweet girl and SMART. She is a great puppy mom and loves to cuddle with her humans and her puppies. Excellent health testing and temperament. We couldn't be prouder to have Ula's 3rd and final litter to show the world.
Gus, dad
Bernese Mountain Dog
About Gus
Gustav (Gus) is the reason why I have more than just one Berner. His disposition and appearance are show stoppers, everywhere we go. He loves his humans more than life. He is kind and gentle to humans and every other living being he comes across. Gus' favorite place is next to his humans and will follow you to the end of the earth. His loyalty and disposition are unsurpassed. He passes on his good nature and good looks to his pups and we couldn't be prouder of him.
