Downy Dutch Bernese
Meet the breeder
I'm the breeder behind Downy Dutch Bernese located in Meridian, ID. Our dogs are our beloved companions. We care deeply about this breed and are proud to be responsible Bernese Mountain Dog breeders. In order to start our puppies off on the right paw, we begin training and socializing at a young age so they are set up for success in their new homes. We prioritize the health and well-being of each one of our puppies and follow all appropriate puppy health protocols.
