Q. & A. with Lisa
Why did you start breeding?
We fell in love with the Bernese Mountain Dog breed when introduced at a friend's house to a beautiful Berner. We were impressed with her gorgeous coat, stately appearance, and sweet temperament. She was AMAZING with our kids! We knew we wanted to be involved in keeping this classic, gorgeous breed around for families to enjoy and love for many years to come!What makes your program special?
Our family is all involved with the care and adoring of both parents and pups. They grow daily with special attention and care, nurturing of their gentle temperament. I am an ER/ICU nurse, so closely monitor the pup's health and nutrition throughout their time with us. We also focus on nutrition pre-birth (mother) for optimal puppy health so you can enjoy your Berner for many quality years!What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black rust and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
