I'm Jill F., the breeder behind Moon Road Berners located in Ridgeway, WI.

Q. & A. with Jill
Why did you start breeding?
We decided to start a breeding program because of our passion for these dogs. Our dogs love to be where the people are and have been such wonderful additions to our family. They are versatile enough to run errands with you, watch tv (they think they're lapdogs), or play outside and roam free. We're lifelong dog enthusiasts, and we’re excited to share our passion through our breeding program!
What makes your program special?
We are committed to staying connected to our puppy families throughout their lifetimes to ensure they never feel alone and can raise their new, furry companion with confidence and joy. Our breeding program stands out amongst others because of the personal attention we give to every detail of the journey. Each one of our Berner puppies receives undivided love and attention from the day they arrive.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
