Our experience in breeding goes back to assisting our parents with the breeding of Dobermans back in the 1980's.
We wanted to begin breeding Bernese Mountain Dogs a few years ago but waited until we could get a full kennel facility established. We have over 7 acres with a 700 square foot heated and cooled kennels with a 4,000 square foot turf dog run as well as full grooming and prep area. Our dogs are extremely well cared for and produce amazing puppies. Our kennel is located just outside of Dallas, TX and we offer delivery services worldwide.
The Bernese Mountain Dog, which originated in Switzerland, is a gentle giant with its large frame and striking tri-colored coat. A very affectionate and excellent family dog, the Bernese Mountain Dog is amazing with children and most other pets and loves to be included in all family activities. Breed aficionados love the Bernese Mountain Dog’s intelligence and devotion to family. They are protective but not aggressive, loyal but independent, and energetic but not exhausting.
You’ll never be lonely with a Bernese Mountain Dog in the house. The Berner, as it’s affectionately called, wants to be with you always. Bernese Mountain Dogs don't do as well when they are left alone for long periods of time and can become mischievous during long absences.
We are passionately devoted to utilizing many breeding practices to ensure our puppies are healthy, cared for, and loved. Our goal is to produce puppies that are not only a pet, but a well-tempered companion with excellent health, longevity, and genetics, to ensure we aren’t just bettering the lives of the family who adopt our puppies but that we are bettering the breed for future generations. We do genetic testing for all puppies. We test for DM SOD1A, DM SOD1B, and Von Willebrand disease. We will send the puppy home at 8 weeks of age. Before sending puppies home, you can expect your puppy will be current on vaccinations, dewormed, and will have started potty training by a doggy door. $2,500 for Limited AKC Registration with spay/ neuter contract and $4,500 for Full AKC Registration with Breeding Rights. All of puppies will come with a 1 year guarantee and lifetime assistance.
Our sire's and dam's are all registered through American Kennel Club. We take great diligence in studying our bloodlines and pedigrees to ensure they come from happy, healthy bloodline and are equipped to produce the best puppies possible.
