Meet the breeder

I'm Christina S., the breeder behind RC Farm located in Weatherly, PA. Our dog has proven to be the greatest companion to our family. We started breeding to contribute to breed betterment and to share smart and loveable puppies with other families. We want to pass on only the best genetics and so we health test our Bernese parents through the University of Penn.

Q. & A. with Christina

  • Why did you start breeding?

    When we decided to breed our dog, we spent hours researching every health test possible and made sure our dog was in perfect health before seeking out a mate with the same qualities. We want to contribute to the best genetics in the breed so our puppies have long, happy lives. We breed for health, temperament, and show quality.
  • What makes your program special?

    Our family will always hold our breeding program to the highest standards, so our puppy families can feel confident in the health, quality, and temperament of their puppy.
  • 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.
