Truffles, mom
Bernese Mountain Dog
About Truffles
She is our most "demanding" cuddler! She wants to be right next to you and how dare you stop petting her :) . She is always ready for an adventure and weighs in at 101 lbs. We know she'll be a great momma as she has been a great "auntie" to all the puppies she's met. She wants to be involved in whatever the family is doing. She is a fun silly and athletic dog. She has Good Hips, Normal Elbows, is Clear of VonWillebrand Disease and we're waiting on the DM results but she will only be bred to clear boys anyway.

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Good level
Mountain Home Berners reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Bernese Mountain Dogs.
Hip Dysplasia , Hip Dysplasia (Preliminary)
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A), Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1B), Bernese Mountain Dog Type, von Willebrand Disease I (vWD I)
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
