Ever wonder how to navigate the world of buying a Bernese Mountain Dog? Where do you start? What do you look for in a breeder? Where do you find a good breeder? How do you verify health clearances on the parents? (The answer is BernerGarde.org) Why is it important to verify health clearances? Answer: So you don't end up with a puppy who needs thousands of dollars worth of orthopedic surgeries at a young age! Yes, that does happen too often with breeders who don't breed with health as a priority! Please make this a priority, coming from someone who has been in the breed for a long time and have seen many unscrupulous breeders say anything and everything to sell a puppy. Nice websites do not make good breeder, think about how you buy a car, you don't buy the first one that you see. You do your research, find out about the health clearances and ages of death of the parents. If you can't find them on Bernergarde, find a different breeder.
PLEASE do your homework and look dogs up on Bernergarde.org for the health certifications. You will thank yourself later! Also, a good breeder will support you and your puppy through the life of your dog. I always answer my puppy owners calls and help them out through thick and thin, you and your puppy deserve that too! Please let me know if you have any questions I will do my best to help you out!
