About Us

We are a small stud kennel located in Bountiful, Utah. I come from a family of dog breeders and have been breeding large breed dogs for over 35 years, solely Bernese for the last twenty years. There is no other breed for us. My husband’s grandparents on both sides are Swiss immigrants, and the picture here is of his 2nd great-grandfather, taken in Kiesen, Switzerland, in 1880. He was the local postmaster, and the Berner pictured at his feet would help pull the mail cart. We are a very active family, and there is not much we do without our dogs. We hike, camp, paddleboard, kayak, snowshoe, and travel with them. In the last two years, we have been on multiple road trips to Colorado, Montana, Nevada, Wyoming, California, and Idaho. Berners make great travel companions. Our dogs are certified therapy and rescue dogs. We show our dogs in conformation, they compete in draft, agility and dock diving competitions as well. 

We strive in every way to be reputable breeders. Making sure health testing is done and work toward bettering the breed by evaluating temperament, not just genetics. We are not doing this to make money but for the love of the breed. We invest time, love, and energy into our fur babies. They live in our home like family members, not kept outside in kennels. Unlike some breeders, we do not rehome our dogs once they become of no breeding use to us.  They live out their days well-loved in our home. We import our dogs from Switzerland to introduce European lines with health and longevity in mind.
