OUR CURRENT DOGS

Our dogs are a mix of home bred and imported, usually from overseas kennels, but they are all part of our family and live with us in the house, first and foremost they are our beloved pets and showing and working them is an additional bonus. We take our dogs with us on holidays, at home and overseas, and our lives are completely organised around  our dogs. Our dogs all have outstanding temperaments and love people, dogs, children etc and are always happy and confident. They all have very individual characters and habits that make us smile every day.

In terms of breeding over the years we have always been restricted by our work commitments but since Jeanette’s retirement, from the start of 2016, we are able to plan to breed more often and more seriously. We discuss and research our matings at great length and have long term plans for our lines.

PARTNERSHIP DOGS WITH OTHER FAMILIES

We generally have about 5 Bernese living with us at any one time but, because we want to be able to have a full life which always including our dogs, we cannot keep as many as we would like at home so we have a few, owned in partnership, placed in special family homes where they live great lives as part of another family.

SADLY DEPARTED AND SORELY MISSED

Over the years we have shared our lives with many Bernese and they have all been special members of our family. Like everyone else we have had our share of heartaches and sadness but most of our dogs have enjoyed a long healthy life. We are very conscious of breed health and it is a major consideration for us in breeding choices.
