Q. & A. with Courtney
Why did you start breeding?
We fell in love with the Bernese Mountain Dog's stunning looks which gave way to loving their personality. We knew we wanted to share that experience with others and give them the best experience possible.What makes your program special?
We treat you like we want to be treated when buying and owning your puppy. There are no secrets and nothing to hide -- we are as transparent as possible with all of our potential buyers. We stay in touch with owners and answer questions and check progress. We are not just a puppy store we are a family!Where do your breeding dogs live?
