We strive to breed top-quality Bernese Mountain Dogs with great temperaments, good health, and correct structure/movement.

Q. & A. with Patricia
Why did you start breeding?
We were asked by a breeder if we would allow her to show our puppy when older. We went to her first show when she was 13 months old, and we liked it. She was a lovely female and we decided to get her health tests done and start our own breeding program. That was 12 years ago, and we have loved the journey.What makes your program special?
Our program is special because we carefully consider pedigrees, health, and temperament before breeding. We raise wonderful puppies and have very happy families. We have many families coming back to us again and again for their Berners. We are a lifetime source of advice and encouragement for our puppy families. It would be our pleasure to help you take the next step in adding this wonderful new addition to your family!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
