The Bernese Mountain Dog was originated in Switzerland and used as a farm dog and as a guard dog that was able to roam around the farm freely. They are most known for their farm work in pulling small wagons carrying cans of milk to other farmers or town residents through the Swiss Alps. That is where they have acquired the “Draft Dog” Title and the heavy strong bone structure to do the work they used to do. The Bernese Mountain Dog loves to be outside and will stay close to their owners whether they are in the house, garden or the barn. These dogs love other animals and are very gentle with them.

The Bernese Mountain Dog is raised as a family dog to be very loving, good natured, alert and fearless in any given situation. The Bernese Mountain Dog will bark when strangers come to your house, but they will stay friendly until the owner comes out, at which time, they will then be relaxed and stop barking.

I have implemented a variety of my favorite bloodlines from Europe and from the USA. Great pride and meticulous research goes into each and every dog as they are part of our family and a possible part of “your” family. The Bernese Mountain Dog is a very special breed unlike no other. I have never seen such a deep and personal bond they can make with people. I truly believe they connect with us spiritually.
