Q. & A. with Teresa
Why did you start breeding?
After having recently closed a restaurant that my grandma, my mom and I had owned, I found myself with a lot of time on my hands. I have always loved dogs!! Walking into a PetSmart one day to get some treats, I saw the most amazing creature...I was able to speak with the owner and love on the the Berner. I went home and read and studied everything I could get my eyes on for months. I was smitten!What makes your program special?
From the moment these babies are born we are working towards one goal. That is to bring you a very happy, healthy, well adjusted member of your family. My life has been changed and blessed by Berners. I want that for your life. The transition for this puppy to your home should be a smooth one because of all the things it experiences here. If not, I feel that I have failed. These babies are it!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
