Bernese Mountain Dogs and Bernedoodles in the Inland Northwest Their majestic stance, intelligent eyes, and striking tri-coloring are sure to turn heads.

The Bernese Mountain Dog is among the most beautiful of dog breeds and can charm just about everyone. But, the BMD is not for everyone and every pup is different in character. Just like people, there will be an alpha, an easy-goer, and a door stop in every litter. Our job is to find which one is the right fit, if any. Always research the breed before committing on a pup or adult dog. It is far better to realize a bad fit before a purchase than after. Here are some quick guidelines:
1. Not recommended for apartments
2. Patience in training-they mature more slowly than most breeds mentally and physically
3. Lots of brushing
4. A cool place to lay in the summer as they overheat quickly

As the temperatures dip and frost starts to appear, the pups are wrapping up their first quarter of life. Some pups may be fully house trained and well behaved while others may need a little more time and patience.

Freya remains with us as we get the farm and nurseries winter ready. She is a friend who sticks close and doesn't run off, a gentle and playful soul, once of the best tempered pups we've ever produced.

Yes she is still available and can be seen at any time. I just need some advance notice. Message or text directly.

Juliet has been reserved!

It has occurred to me that there are 3 questions about the pups everyone wants to know the answers to.

1. Are they housebroken?
No, but we are working on it. They have not yet learned how to ask to go outside.

2. Are they crate trained?
No. They have had some experience with crates especially when it was hot outside but now they spend much of their time in an outdoor play yard.

3. Are they vaccinated?
Yes. Two rounds of 5-way (parvo-nfluenza, CAV 1 and 2, distemper)

The final two pups for 2026!

Juliet is sitting; Freya is lying down. Two different personalities but both are playful pups getting into mischief. They are starting to explore the house more and find treasures that were never lost.

They will be 10 weeks tomorrow and each weigh a little over 18 lbs.

Freya and Juliet remain! They're hanging out with big sis, Glory, who is going home this weekend also. There are lots of inquiries about these girls but no visits or deposits yet.

I caught Juliet napping but I still couldn't sneak up on her. She's alert.

Miss Liberty has gone to her new home over the weekend!

Sven has gone home!

Liberty and Juliet are on hold through Saturday. Stay tuned to see which one will be available at the end of the week.

Glory has been reserved!

I've had a lot of questions about Glory. Is she sweet? Can she be around small children? Will she be big?

The answer is a resounding YES!
Glory is a quieter soul, but not timid. She has a quiet confidence that allows her special privileges like sleeping in the same pen as the littles. I trust her to not play too rough with them.

On the other hand, she enjoys playing with her smaller sister, Liberty, and takes a seat on the sidelines when the cat comes to play. Only once did I see her advance the cat and that was when Princess Freya was in his cross hairs.

So, the short answer, Glory will be a great candidate for a big, sweet babysitter/body pillow. She's almost 3 months old now and ready for some focused training.
