OUR STORY

Welcome to Bernese Mountain Babies. At Bernese Mountain Babies, everything we do begins and ends with love. Love for this magnificent breed. Love for the families who come to us searching not just for a puppy, but for a loyal companion. And most of all, love for the incredible bond that begins the moment a Bernese Mountain Dog enters your life. We are not a kennel. We are not a large-scale breeding operation. We are a family. A small, deeply committed, hands-on breeder that believes in quality over quantity, and heart over hype. Our journey into the world of Bernese Mountain Dogs didn’t begin with a business plan. It began with a single dog who changed everything.

Years ago, we brought home our first Bernese, not realizing just how profoundly she would reshape our lives. What started as curiosity quickly grew into a deep and lasting connection. Her gentle nature, unwavering loyalty, and soulful eyes sparked something in us that couldn’t be ignored. We found ourselves captivated by her ability to sense our moods, to comfort without asking, and to bring warmth into every space she entered. It was that love, that beautiful connection, that led us here. From that moment forward, we knew we wanted to share this magic with others—not just by helping people find a puppy, but by helping them find the right one.
Bernese Mountain Dogs are more than just a beautiful breed. They are heart dogs. Gentle giants who seem to look right into your soul. They are calm yet playful, strong yet sensitive, and loyal beyond measure. Their devotion to their people is unmatched, and their ability to bring harmony into a household is something truly special. That’s why we don’t just breed Berners. We raise them with intention, devotion, and a deep respect for everything they are meant to be. Every puppy that comes into the world here is treated as a cherished member of our family from day one. We are present for every birth, every milestone, and every sleepy cuddle in between. Our puppies are born inside our home and raised in a clean, nurturing, and stimulating environment. They grow up underfoot, not in a kennel—surrounded by love, laughter, and the daily rhythms of family life.
We believe early socialization is critical to raising a well-balanced dog. From their first few days, our puppies are gently handled, spoken to, and exposed to various textures, sounds, and experiences. They are introduced to crate training, basic grooming, and household noises to ensure they transition smoothly into their new homes. We carefully match each puppy with the right family by getting to know their personalities, energy levels, and unique traits. No two puppies are the same, and no two families are either. We take the time to understand your lifestyle, your expectations, and your hopes for your future dog. That’s how we help make lasting, successful matches—ones that feel like destiny.
Health is the cornerstone of our program. All of our parent dogs are extensively health-tested for common breed issues such as hip and elbow dysplasia, heart conditions, and inherited diseases. We work closely with our veterinary team and genetic specialists to ensure our lines are strong, healthy, and ethically bred. Each puppy is given age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, and a full health check by a licensed veterinarian before going home. We provide all records, along with a written health guarantee, and we remain available for support long after the puppy leaves our arms.
But what truly sets us apart is our commitment to being there—not just as breeders, but as mentors, guides, and friends. When you adopt a Bernese Mountain Baby, you become part of our extended family. We love hearing updates, watching your puppy grow, and staying connected as your journey unfolds. Whether you need training advice, feeding tips, or just want to share a funny photo, we’re here. Our relationship doesn’t end when you take your puppy home. It begins.
Our breeding program is intentionally small. We raise only a few litters per year so that we can give each puppy and each family our full attention. We’re involved in every step, from planning the pairing to helping with the first bath. We know every puppy inside and out, and we only let them go to homes that meet our standards for love, stability, and lifelong commitment. We are passionate about preserving the integrity of this breed, which is why we breed for temperament, health, and conformation—not just looks or trends. We want to ensure that Bernese Mountain Dogs continue to be the soulful, intelligent, steady-hearted companions they were always meant to be.
Over the years, we’ve placed puppies in homes across the country. Some went to large families with energetic kids. Some went to quiet couples who needed a gentle presence after loss. Some went to farms, some to apartments, and others to people with special needs who found therapy in the comfort of a Berner’s embrace. Each story is different, but the love is always the same. We’ve seen our puppies bring light into dark moments, companionship into lonely spaces, and healing where it was needed most. That is what fuels us. That is why we wake up every day ready to pour our hearts into this work. Because we’re not just placing puppies. We’re creating lifelong bonds.
We take great pride in offering a transparent, welcoming, and personal adoption process. When you reach out to us, you’re not getting a generic automated reply. You’re connecting with real people who genuinely care. We take the time to answer your questions, get to know your story, and provide the information you need to make the right choice for your family. We never rush the process, and we never pressure anyone into making a decision. If we don’t have the right puppy for you, we’ll be honest. If we do, we’ll walk with you every step of the way to make sure the transition is smooth, joyful, and unforgettable.
And when it’s finally time for your puppy to come home, we make sure everything is just right. We offer flexible pickup options and trusted delivery services with flight nannies who hand-deliver your puppy directly to your arms. Every detail is handled with care—from your puppy’s favorite toy to a blanket that smells like mom. We want your first moments together to be filled with comfort, excitement, and love. Because this isn’t just a handoff. It’s the beginning of something extraordinary.
To us, Bernese Mountain Babies is more than a name. It’s a promise. A promise to honor this breed by raising them with heart. A promise to our families that we will always be a resource and a friend. And a promise to every puppy that comes into our care that they will be loved, nurtured, and prepared for a life full of joy. We are proud of what we do, humbled by the trust our families place in us, and honored to be part of so many beautiful stories.
If you’ve made it this far, thank you. Thank you for taking the time to learn who we are, what we stand for, and why we do what we do. We know there are many breeders out there, but we also know that not all breeders are the same. If you’re looking for a puppy that has been raised with intention, compassion, and integrity, we would be honored to speak with you. Whether you’re just starting to learn about the breed or you’re ready to welcome a Bernese Mountain Baby into your home, we’re here to walk that path with you. Because when you choose us, you’re not just choosing a puppy. You’re choosing a lifelong connection, rooted in love.

Where hearts meet paws, and every story begins with trust.

There are many breeders out there, but there’s only one Bernese Mountain Babies. What sets us apart?

1. Home-Raised With Love:
Our puppies are born and raised inside our home—not in kennels, barns, or sheds. They are a part of our family from day one, experiencing normal household sounds, smells, and routines. This helps them transition more easily into their forever homes, already familiar with love, affection, and human interaction.

2. Health First, Always:
Each one of our breeding dogs is health-tested to ensure the best possible genetic background. Our puppies are thoroughly examined by licensed veterinarians, up-to-date on vaccinations, and come with a clean bill of health. We also start early neurological stimulation and basic socialization practices that support their lifelong well-being.

3. Ethical Breeding Philosophy:
We follow ethical breeding practices rooted in respect for the breed and its future. Our litters are limited to ensure we can give every puppy the individual care they need. We breed for temperament, health, and conformation—because a true Berner should not only look the part, but feel it in their heart.

4. Lifelong Support:
When you take home a Bernese Mountain Baby, you join our family. We’re here for questions, guidance, and support—whether it’s your first puppy or your fourth. Our commitment to our dogs doesn’t end at adoption—it’s lifelong.

About the Bernese Mountain Dog Breed

Loyal, majestic, affectionate—words barely scratch the surface when it comes to describing a Bernese Mountain Dog. Originally bred in the Swiss Alps as working dogs, Berners are as strong as they are sweet. They’re fantastic with children, get along well with other pets, and are happiest when they’re part of the family action.

While their size might be intimidating to some, their hearts are pure gold. They thrive on companionship and love to be involved in family activities—whether that’s a hike in the woods, a nap on the sofa, or just sitting quietly by your side.

A Glimpse Into Our Nursery

At any given time, our nursery is full of tiny tail wags, soft snores, and little noses twitching in dreamland. From the moment our puppies open their eyes, we are there. They’re handled gently, introduced to various textures, sounds, and smells, and taught how to interact with people and other dogs.

We begin crate training, potty training, and leash exposure early—laying the groundwork for a smoother transition into your home. Our puppies leave us confident, healthy, and ready to love you unconditionally.

Our Process

Adopting a puppy is a big commitment, and we don’t take it lightly. Our process is thoughtful, transparent, and designed to find the perfect match between our puppies and your family.

  1. Application: We ask every prospective family to complete a simple application. This helps us understand your lifestyle, expectations, and preferences.

  2. Phone Chat or Zoom Meet: We’ll schedule a call or video chat to answer any questions, introduce you to available puppies, and help you make an informed decision.

  3. Reservation: Once we find the right match, you can reserve your puppy with a deposit.

  4. Updates: We provide weekly updates with photos, videos, and little personality notes, so you can follow your puppy’s growth.

  5. Go-Home Day: Your puppy will be ready to go home around 8-10 weeks, fully vetted, socialized, and ready to begin their new adventure.

We also offer optional delivery services with trusted puppy nannies if you're not located nearby.
