Advice and information for those considering a Bernese Mountain Dog. Is a Bernese right for you?  What do you need to think about? How can you find out more? Where can you meet some Bernese? Ideally at  one of our events especially a Garden Party, where you can meet Bernese and their families who will be happy to share their experiences and advice.

Bernese do not only develop their correct character due to breed genes. Like ALL dogs, good experiences, training and behaviour guidance are ESSENTIAL so make sure you know your full responsibility BEFORE your puppy arrives.  

Our club’s Rescue and Rehoming branch helps to re-home dogs and help Bernese in need. If you have any problems  with your Bernese and Rescue might be able to help, please get in touch in complete confidence. Sometimes training advice can be all that is needed and Rescue will only help the dog, not judge you, anyone’s circumstances can change.

You may not be able to take rehomed dog but there are other ways people can help with the practicalities of Rescue, e.g. assessing dogs or homes, transporting dogs. Usually this starts with a friendly chat so please get in touch.
