Help in Finding the Right Puppy

If you are looking to add a Bernese Mountain Dog puppy to your life, please read the information contained in the links below. Hopefully, it will help you to find a happy, healthy puppy from a well-intentioned and knowledgeable breeder. It will also help you to spot and avoid breeders who are less than ethical and are only interested in profiting from the breed. Buying from the right kind of breeder will save both you and your dog much heartache in the long run, although you may need to wait a little longer to find a pup. The right pup is worth the wait!

The club does hold a waiting list of people looking to buy a pup. However, please note that the club does not act as any sort of "middle-man" in the sale of pups. It is not the job of the club to vet either the breeders or people looking for puppies. It is up to each and every potential puppy owner to make sure s/he is happy with the way the breeder operates and rears their dogs and pups before purchasing. Equally, having your name added to the waiting list does not indicate that you will definitely be offered a pup. Any legitimate breeder will ask you many questions to be sure that you can provide all the care and attention that is vital to a puppy of this sensitive breed. In some cases, you may not be able to give a Bernese all it needs and another breed or species may be a better option for you.
