Considering a Bernese ?

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.  

Rescue & ReHoming

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 advice can help but Rescue’s only objective is to help the Bernese, not judge you, anyone’s circumstances can change.

You may, or may not, be able to take rehomed Bernese but there are other ways people can help with the practicalities of Rescue, e.g. provide a foster home for cases that cannot wait for their new forever home to be found, assessing dogs or homes or transporting dogs. Usually this starts with a friendly chat so please get in touch, email, phone or maybe come and chat at one of our events.
