Today, Anne’s Bernese Mountain Dog Home still carries that same spirit personal, warm, and full of heart. We are not a kennel or a large-scale breeder; we are a family that lives side-by-side with our dogs. They share our home, our routines, our laughter, and our quiet moments. Every morning begins with the gentle shuffle of paws on the kitchen floor and ends with a chorus of sleepy sighs as our dogs settle in for the night. The rhythm of our days revolves around their happiness. They’re not kept in pens or separated from us they’re right here, part of every family moment, as they deserve to be.

Each litter born under our roof is an event of pure joy. When new puppies arrive, the house fills with warmth and excitement. We take turns watching over them, ensuring that every single one is strong, nursing well, and comforted by soft hands and gentle voices. In those early weeks, we handle them constantly not out of necessity, but because human touch matters. Puppies raised in an environment filled with affection grow into confident, trusting companions. They learn that the world is a safe place, that people are kind, and that love is constant.

We talk to them as we move through the day silly nicknames, little songs, quiet reassurances and even though they’re small, they respond. Their tails wag, their tiny eyes follow us, and we can see the spark of personality forming in each one. There is something almost sacred about watching these little lives unfold. It reminds us daily that what we do is not a job, but a privilege.

Our adult dogs, the mothers and fathers of our litters, are chosen not just for their beauty but for their health, temperament, and gentle spirit. We spend years studying bloodlines, learning about genetics, and working closely with veterinarians to ensure we’re preserving the strength of the breed. Every one of our Bernese adults has passed health clearances for hips, elbows, eyes, and genetic conditions. But beyond health, they have heart that steady, affectionate temperament that defines a true Bernese Mountain Dog.

When visitors come to meet our dogs, they often comment on how calm and happy everyone seems. That calm doesn’t happen by chance; it comes from being raised in an atmosphere of consistency, routine, and affection. Bernese Mountain Dogs thrive on companionship. They’re not meant to be distant or kept apart from people they want to be close, to share your space, to look at you as if you’re the center of their world. We honor that need every single day.

Over time, we’ve learned that raising a Bernese puppy is much like nurturing a child. They need structure and love, guidance and play, patience and trust. We expose them to gentle experiences that help them adjust easily to family life different sounds, textures, people, and toys. They learn early that vacuum cleaners aren’t monsters, that children’s laughter is something to chase joyfully, and that being brushed or bathed is part of life’s routine. By the time they’re ready to leave us, they walk with confidence and curiosity, ready to bond deeply with their new families.

We often say that when you take home a puppy from Anne’s Bernese Mountain Dog Home, you’re not just getting a dog; you’re receiving a piece of our family. It’s true we pour our hearts into each one, and letting them go is always bittersweet. We remember the way they tumbled over their siblings, the way they fell asleep in our laps, the way their first little barks surprised even themselves. Watching them drive away with their new families fills us with pride and tenderness. There’s always a mix of tears and smiles tears because we’ll miss them, smiles because we know they’re about to fill another home with happiness.

Over the years, we’ve stayed in touch with countless families who have adopted from us. We receive photos of birthdays, holidays, snow-covered hikes, and cozy naps by the fire. We’ve watched puppies we once held in our hands grow into magnificent adults therapy dogs, adventure buddies, loyal protectors, and gentle best friends to children. Each update means the world to us. It reminds us that what we do changes lives, that love shared multiplies. Some families come back years later for a second or even a third Bernese from us, telling us how their home just doesn’t feel complete without that familiar wagging tail. Those returning families are proof that integrity and care matter that when you do things with heart, people remember.

Our philosophy has always been simple: honesty, compassion, and respect for our dogs, our families, and the people who trust us. We’re transparent in everything we do. We’re happy to share vet records, genetic test results, and even photos of the puppies’ parents. We welcome questions in fact, we encourage them. We want every new owner to feel informed and confident because bringing a puppy into your life should never be a decision made in haste. It’s a lifelong commitment, and we’ll stand beside you for as long as you need us.

Anne often says, “Raising Bernese Mountain Dogs isn’t something I do; it’s who I am.” That’s not an exaggeration. This home is built around the dogs’ needs. The schedules, the spaces, the laughter it all revolves around them. There’s a certain peace that comes from living this way. Even on the busiest days, when the phone is ringing and puppies are playing underfoot, there’s a quiet joy that hums through the house. Because every paw print on the floor reminds us of purpose.

We also take great pride in the quality of nutrition, care, and environment our dogs receive. From premium food to regular exercise and grooming, we treat each one as we would want someone to treat our own family member. Our property has open, safe spaces for play and exploration, shaded areas for rest, and cozy indoor spots for cuddles. Fresh air, clean water, and human connection the basics of health and happiness are non-negotiable here.

When you visit, you’ll see our dogs lounging in the yard, playing gently with our children, or sitting quietly at our feet. They greet visitors with wagging tails and calm curiosity. They’re never fearful or frantic they know they are safe. That sense of trust doesn’t happen by chance. It’s built day by day, through consistency and affection.

We also believe strongly in education. We take time to teach every family about what it means to own a Bernese Mountain Dog their exercise needs, their emotional depth, their grooming routine, and their lifespan. We share everything we know, because knowledge helps families give their dogs the best possible life. Bernese Mountain Dogs are big, loving souls who form deep bonds, and they need people who understand that commitment. We’d rather delay a sale than send a puppy somewhere that doesn’t feel like the right fit. Our goal isn’t just placement; it’s harmony.

Many people ask what makes the Bernese Mountain Dog so special. It’s hard to explain until you’ve lived with one, but we’ll try. There’s something almost human in their eyes a quiet intelligence, a kindness that seems to sense your emotions. They’re gentle giants who love to be near you, who sense when you’re sad and rest their head on your knee, who meet your excitement with their own tail-wagging joy. They’re protective without being aggressive, playful without being wild, and affectionate without limits. Their loyalty is unmatched. Once you’ve been loved by a Bernese, no other companionship feels quite the same.

That’s why every puppy we raise is treated as the next bearer of that legacy a new chance to share this remarkable breed’s warmth with another family. We don’t breed for profit or numbers; we breed for preservation and love. Each litter is carefully planned to maintain the health, temperament, and classic tri-color beauty of the Bernese Mountain Dog. The black, rust, and white markings are striking, but what matters most to us is what lies beneath the steady heart, the gentle temperament, the dependable loyalty that defines the breed.

As our reputation has grown, we’ve had the privilege of sending puppies across the country. Whether by car, plane, or personal delivery, we make sure every puppy’s journey is safe and comforting. We prepare them gently for travel, ensuring they feel secure and calm. Each one leaves with a care package a small toy or blanket carrying the scent of home, their medical records, feeding instructions, and our personal contact information. We want every family to feel supported from the moment their puppy arrives. And we love hearing the joyful messages that follow “She arrived safely!” or “He’s already sleeping in my lap!” Those moments make all the long nights and early mornings worthwhile.

The bond between people and Bernese Mountain Dogs is something extraordinary. We’ve seen how these dogs change lives helping shy children open up, comforting elderly owners through loneliness, or simply filling ordinary days with laughter and warmth. They have an emotional intelligence that can’t be taught; it’s instinctive. And it’s our responsibility to nurture that gift from the moment they’re born.

Our commitment doesn’t end when a puppy leaves. We offer lifetime support because we care deeply about every one of them. Families know they can reach out months or even years later for advice about training, health, or just to share a story. We respond because we genuinely want to help. That ongoing connection between breeder and family is part of what makes this work so meaningful.

Every now and then, we’ll walk through our yard in the evening, watching our dogs play under the fading light, and feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude. Gratitude for the families who trust us, for the puppies who bring laughter into homes, and for the simple joy of doing something that matters. There’s no greater reward than knowing that somewhere out there, a family is smiling, a child is giggling, and a Bernese Mountain Dog from our home is lying content at their feet.

Our story is built on love, patience, and respect  respect for the breed, for the families who welcome our puppies, and for the animals themselves. We believe that when you lead with love, everything else falls into place. That’s why our motto has always been simple: “Raised with love, shared with heart.”
