Ever since I can remember, I have always had a dog or dogs in my life. Not only have they become my passion but also my families. Before we fell in love with the Bernese Mountain Dog, we raised English Mastiffs for 12 years.  At one point, we were involved in the CKC dog shows  and conformation. There we learned the importance of breeding dogs who had good genetics and were properly socialized from the start. This can make or break a good dog and it is our mission to give our puppies the best start in life. 

​

Home for us was in Red Deer, Alberta, but since 2020 we have made our home permanently in beautiful Nova Scotia near the historic town of Annapolis Royal

Here we have 5 beautiful acres of woods and creek where the dogs can walk and roam pretty freely.

Our dogs are a huge part of our family and we only keep as many as can comfortably sprawl out on the kitchen floor or snuggle up with us on the couch.  It gets pretty crowded sometimes, especially in the long, cold winter months. 

The Bernese dogs have a sweet, gentle demeanor which make them loyal, devoted family members.  They love truck/car rides, especially when they know they are going to the lake for a swim on the long, hot summer days.  

They are amazing travel companions who love meeting new people and exploring new places. 

The Bernese breed as a whole are an exceptionally sociable dog  , and excel as a full time family member where they interact and are a part of everyday life, part time involvement dosent work very well for them.

.     

We implement “early neurological stimulation” starting at 3 days old and continue through the first 12 weeks of their life.

Together with our knowledge and experience, we believe that your new family member will learn to embrace life and all that it has to offer.
