Our goal is very simple: To keep our dogs happy and healthy. Our puppies are home raised (inside) until they go to live with their new parents and families, and are very well socialized (and spoiled) with children and other animals. We even start to paper train them during the last few weeks they are with us. Good socialization requires frequent handling and experience with sights and sounds the puppies are likely to encounter in their new homes. Puppies that are raised with minimal contact with people are unlikely to make good companion pets. We encourage people to visit us, meet our parents, and interact with all of our pups.
The Bernese Mountain Dog is a striking, tri-colored, large dog. Normally their height is 24 to 26 inches, and weight is 70 to 115 pounds.
They are
intelligent and muscular. As you would expect with their heavy coat and rugged appearance, BMD's love
the cold and snow and enjoy the outdoors. During the hot summer months,
BMD's can become over heated very quickly, so extra precautions must be taken. Please see
our page
on Special BMD care for details. They must have access
to plenty of cool water and cool locations to go if they get too
hot.
I also have to mention that while BMD's are wonderful dogs with a long list of attributes, this is not a breed for everyone. Before you commit yourself to a long-term relationship with one of these exceptional creatures, please research the breed to make sure that your choice will fit into your families life style.
