Questions for prospective puppy owners…

Bernese have great temperaments, but characters are different and depending on their lineage they can be more demanding / active / big / stubborn / soft / sensitive etc.

By understanding your situation and needs we are better placed to make sure that:

A) a Bernese is suited to your lifestyle and
B) that we place the right puppy with you.

These few questions are aimed to find out more about you and your home and also your expectations for your puppy. Your answers will help us to ensure we have the right puppy for you and that our puppies all go into wonderful and permanent homes.

We support our owners and the dogs that we produce through out their lives. If you need assistance we will help you.
