In June 2013 our A Litter from Senta and Moritz was born. We welcomed seven healthy puppies, 5 girls and 2 boys. They became magnificently in the 10 weeks with us.
Since then, they enchant their new families on the warmest.
Our B Litter from Senta and Moritz was born on 19 March 2014.
More information about this litter you will find here:
Bernese Mountain Dog Puppies 2014
The little Bernese Mountain Dog babies will be ready to move to their new families 10 weeks later.
That will be around end of May 2014.
Yes, that is right. We from Europe strongly belief that it is in the best interest of a Berner baby, that it should be with it's mother and can play with it's siblings for at least 10 weeks.
No exemptions, they don't go before.
We hate to call it “selling” a puppy or worse: “producing” puppies.
We prefer to call it “adoption process”.
And for a reputable dog breeder there is nothing worse than buying a puppy from an anonymous advertisement and without even meeting the parent dogs and their home or the home of the breeder.
If somebody would offer you to hand over the dog to you at the parking ground for the cash, your alarm bells should ring.
Remember: you always get what you paid for!
And even our Bernese Mountain Dogs are live animals, and nobody has 100% control over any possible health issue. But as a registered breeder we take our responsibility very serious.
We assure you that there are no known health issues within the previous generations.
The registration of a breeder with the Bernese Mountain Dog Club of Canada and with the Canadian Kennel Club will give you the assurance about meeting certain standards as a breeder.
More information you will find here: www.BMDCC.ca
On the website of the Berner Garde Foundation you can research our dogs ancestors in that database for any health issues in the past.
And of course we welcome you to contact our local vet clinic in Baddeck.
Because the well-being of our puppies has the highest priority, we spend a lot of time and efforts in finding the perfect new home for our little Berner babies.
Our Bernese mountain dog puppies will only be adopted out to approved homes.
This "approval" process is not an easy task. Well, sometime it seems to be one.
We feel that we have to ask you a lot of questions.
This is not just in the best interest of the puppy but in your's as well.
As an registered Dog Breeder we feel it is our responsibility to make all possible efforts to find out the best fit between the puppy and the new family.
We encourage you to check us out as well and to meet the puppy’s parents and our dog’s home and surroundings. We always insist to meet with the new owners.
If you are not ready or not willing to answer those questions, or if you should find our questionnaire is offending or inquisitorially, please do not contact us.
If you would like to get on our puppy waiting list for this litter or for the next year, you are welcome to contact us now.
But maybe you are not sure yet, if you are ready for a dog in your family. Maybe you just want to visit us to meet our dogs and maybe us want to visit our puppies and socializing, without having the intention to get a puppy right now: we would like to hear from you.
You are welcome to arrange a visit with us.
And as you maybe already know: we offer a cottage and a B&B on our over 30 acre property right at the Bras d'Or Lake: Cape Breton Cottage B&B

General and very basic information you might find here: BerneseMountainDog
We have to admit, we never really searched for the best blood lines for breeding purposes. Because we knew from the beginning: if you want to breed Bernese Mountain Dogs, the parents have to have Swiss, German or Scandinavian blood lines!
And that's that!
Both of our current Berners, “Moritz” and “Senta”, come from European bloodlines and have been certified to be free from hip and elbow dysplasia.
There is no known case of cancer or other serious illnesses in the family of Senta or Moritz, not the parents, not the Grand Parenets and not the Great Grant Parents.
Most of them are still happy and alive.
These certificates are issue by the "Orthopaedic Foundation For Animals” Columbia, Missouri, U.S., www.offa.org
We go over all that paperwork together with you and you will get copies of the certificates on request.
You are welcome to check out the pedigrees and the health status (back 4 or 5 generations of our dogs) at the website: Berner-Garde Foundation.
All our puppies are dewormed 4 times before the leave for their new homes.
It is important, that different products have been used for doing this!
We use only leading manufactures products and recognized brands like "Revolution" from Pfizer, "Dronal" from BAYER and other.
Furthermore the puppies are vet checked and micro chipped by our local vet clinic Baddeck.
You get the name and phone number of the Vet Doctor together with the written contract of sale.
Of course we even do the registration with the Canadian Kennel Club and provide you with all necessary paperwork on our expense.
The day the puppy will be picked up we go with you over the health records, and of course you will get a copy of them, including the Vet Doctors name and address, just the case you want to contact them.
