I'm Kim S., the breeder behind Celestial Sennenhunds located in Alaska. Our dogs are excellent representations of their breed, and we are proud to offer our high-quality puppies to loving homes. Our program is focused on breeding Bernese Mountain Dogs that are healthy, well-structured, and have outstanding temperaments. We have high expectations for our dogs. We do not have any litters planned for 2024 but are happy to talk about Bernese if you want more information about the breed.

About Topaz
Topaz’s health testing certifications can be seen at https://bernergarde.org/DB/Dog_Detail?DogID=210442
She is a high energy girl for a Bernese and is excelling in performance sports as well as competing in the conformation ring. I’m looking forward to many years of teamwork with her. She’s also the ideal family dog who enjoys playing w my nieces and nephews. Her temperament is sound and she gets along well with our other dogs, cats & chickens.
