Bernese Water Dog

Here are a few of the pups on their way home and in their new homes.

“Just wanted to let you know we made it home safely. Murphy (Bridge) was great. Little bit of crying but slept most of the way. He was reserved at first but has settled in nicely after just a few hours. Here’s a few pics of him on the ride home. 

We will send more as he grows.

Thank you so much. We absolutely love him.”

“Ben was able to get this little bundle of joy to us today.  She is so incredible you sweet.  We heard from Ben they delivered another dog locally.  How fun for her to have a sibling nearby.  

Thanks so much for all your help in getting her to us.  We are so in love with her. “

“Kerplunk is such a love! We’re so happy to have her as part of our family. She’s settled right in with the other dogs and loves her humans. Thank you for this sweetie, we adore her!”

“Our boy just had his vet visit at 14 weeks. He’s doing great and can’t wait to play with his new next door friends – Tucker and Pawford. He’s a solid 28 lbs. and seems to be growing by the hour.”

“Spencer! 4 1/2 months! Our Bernese Water Dog loves the lake and can’t wait to go paddle boarding,kayaking, boating and swimming. We love him so much!!!!!”

“Here are some pictures of Bodhi, one of your Bernese Water Pups, who is about 5 months old now. This guy is a lean 43 lbs. He is totally content doing whatever, as long as he is around the family. He is already out of the crate at night. He is very smart and has learned several commands very well. My son thought Bodhi had something in his mouth that should not have been there, so he told him to “drop it” and out came a dog treat I had just given him. Bodhi even waited for permission to pick it back up! Couldn’t ask for a better addition to the family!”

We have worked and strived for years on our new registered designer breed and it’s been worth the wait!  You will love the webbed feet just like our PWD all have.

Many people love bigger dogs.  The Bernese Mountain Dogs bred to Standard Poodles have worked out very well, being more active, less shedding, longer life spans.

We figured: Why not a more in-line Designer combination?  What could be better than a Bernese with a wavy PWD?  You don’t have that curly sheepdog appearance.  The PWD puppies look like Bernese  puppies with the same facial features vs. a poodle with a longer skinny muzzle. They will be much smarter, more active and agile, far less shedding, longer life spans with far less health issues.  Like the PWD / Bernese, they will be a far more loving combination and much more willing to please than a doodle and far less hyper.  A Loving Loyal combination, the Designer Breeding association said will be a fantastic all-round winner.
